Regulation
Activation:
Phosphorylation at Ser-221 is required for increased phosphotransferase activity, but is insufficient by itself. Phosphorylation at Ser-363 and Ser-380 increases phosphotransferase activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-380 in Rsk2 permits recruitment and activation of PDK1 by autophosphorylation to then phosphorylate S227 (S221 in Rsk1). Phosphorylation of Thr-573 increases phosphotransferase activity.
Inhibition:
Phosphorylation at Ser-154 induces interaction with 14-3-3 and inhibits catalytic activity. Phosphorylation of Ser-732 permits dissociation of Rsk-ERK complex.
Synthesis:
NA
Degradation:
NA

Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer, neurological disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS)
Specific Cancer Types:
Tuberous sclerosis (TSC)
Comments:
RSK1 may be a tumour requiring protein (TRP). The active form of the protein kinase normally acts to promote tumour cell proliferation. Abnormal activation of RSK1 expression has been linked to many human diseases, including breast and prostate cancers. Inhibition of RSK signalling enhances the effects of enzalutamide prostate cancer therapy.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Barrett's esophagus epithelial metaplasia (%CFC= +168, p<0.015); Cervical cancer (%CFC= -68, p<0.0001); Classical Hodgkin lymphomas (%CFC= +77, p<0.002); and Large B-cell lymphomas (%CFC= +86, p<0.0001). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for RSK1 in diverse human cancers of 300, which is 0.7-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 230 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 3.8-fold of the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.05 % in 24903 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -32 % lower than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.41 % in 805 skin cancers tested; 0.31 % in 575 stomach cancers tested; 0.24 % in 1093 large intestine cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 2 in 20,186 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 4 deletions, no insertions or complex mutations.
