Function

Non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase that regulates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell polarization, cell migration, adhesion, spreading and bone remodeling. Plays a role in the regulation of the humoral immune response, and is required for normal levels of marginal B-cells in the spleen and normal migration of splenic B-cells. Required for normal macrophage polarization and migration towards sites of inflammation. Regulates cytoskeleton rearrangement and cell spreading in T-cells, and contributes to the regulation of T-cell responses. Promotes osteoclastic bone resorption; this requires both PTK2B/PYK2 and SRC. May inhibit differentiation and activity of osteoprogenitor cells. Functions in signaling downstream of integrin and collagen receptors, immune receptors, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), cytokine, chemokine and growth factor receptors, and mediates responses to cellular stress. Forms multisubunit signaling complexes with SRC and SRC family members upon activation; this leads to the phosphorylation of additional tyrosine residues, creating binding sites for scaffold proteins, effectors and substrates. Regulates numerous signaling pathways. Promotes activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and of the AKT1 signaling cascade. Promotes activation of NOS3. Regulates production of the cellular messenger cGMP. Promotes activation of the MAP kinase signaling cascade, including activation of MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 and MAPK8/JNK1. Promotes activation of Rho family GTPases, such as RHOA and RAC1. Recruits the ubiquitin ligase MDM2 to P53/TP53 in the nucleus, and thereby regulates P53/TP53 activity, P53/TP53 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Acts as a scaffold, binding to both PDPK1 and SRC, thereby allowing SRC to phosphorylate PDPK1 at 'Tyr-9, 'Tyr-373', and 'Tyr-376'. Promotes phosphorylation of NMDA receptors by SRC family members, and thereby contributes to the regulation of NMDA receptor ion channel activity and intracellular Ca(2+) levels. May also regulate potassium ion transport by phosphorylation of potassium channel subunits. Phosphorylates SRC; this increases SRC kinase activity. Phosphorylates ASAP1, NPHP1, KCNA2 and SHC1. Promotes phosphorylation of ASAP2, RHOU and PXN; this requires both SRC and PTK2/PYK2.

Activity summary

PYK2 also known as Protein Tyrosine Kinase 2 Beta (PTK2B) is a protein with a mass of approximately 116 kDa. This enzyme belongs to the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family and functions as a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase. Mechanically PYK2 is involved in calcium-dependent signaling and is activated by increases in intracellular calcium levels. It plays a critical role in cell proliferation migration and survival. PYK2 expresses widely in neuronal tissues hematopoietic cells and various epithelial cells.

Biological function summary

PYK2 interacts with integrins and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) linking extracellular signals to intracellular pathways. It forms complexes with other signaling molecules including Rac1 and c-Src facilitating downstream signaling. These interactions contribute to cellular communication and adhesion processes especially in the central nervous system and immune cells. Through its involvement in signal transduction PYK2 supports cellular responses to environmental changes.

Pathways

PYK2 participates in the MAPK and JNK signaling pathways. These pathways are critical for transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus influencing cellular growth and stress responses. PYK2 interacts closely with other proteins such as Src and FAK which help coordinate signals that regulate cellular dynamics. Through these pathways PYK2 modulates processes involved in the structural reorganization of cells and tissues.

Associated diseases and disorders

PYK2 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases and certain types of cancers. In Alzheimer's disease PYK2 may contribute to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive decline as it interacts with amyloid-beta peptides and tau proteins. In cancer PYK2 overexpression can promote cancer cell invasion metastasis and resistance to apoptosis often in coordination with proteins like FAK. Therefore understanding the role of PYK2 in these conditions provides insights for therapeutic developments.

Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.
