<p>New nuclear kinases that are regulated by signal transduction and that participate in phosphorylation cascades which regulate transcription and related methods for regulating transcription. The novel nuclear kinases play a vital role in gene expression, particularly with regard to the proper expression of genes involved in the avoidance of leukemia in humans. The kinase is (i) substantially exclusively intranuclearly localized; (ii) capable of autophosphorylation; (iii) selectively bindable with antibodies raised against GST-fsh and GST-RING3; (iv) of a molecular weight of from about 82.5 to about 92.7 kilodaltons; and (v) includes peptide sequences Asp-Ser-Asn-Pro-Asp-Glu-Ile-Glu-Ile-Asp-Phe-Glu-Thr-Leu-Lys-Pro-Thr-Thr-Leu and Ala-Val-His-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Ala-Leu-Ser-Gln-Ala-Pro. Protein kinase activity was also discovered for fsh (Drosophila) and RING3 (human). RING3 is attributed with a role consistent with that of the novel kinases.</p> |
