A 17-aa peptide sequence, mapping near the N-terminus and prior to the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain of human WNK-2 . The protein kinases represent a superfamily of over 400 members in 57 subfamilies that share a catalytic domain (12 subdomains) of 250-300 amino acids. Some of these residues are conserved and crucial for structure and function of the active site. A conserved lysine, in subdomain II of the catalytic core of all 390 protein kinases, anchors and orientates the a and b phosphoryl groups of ATP. The catalytic domain of WNK (With No K=Lysine) kinases contains all invariant residues, except for this lysine residue. Being specific for multicellular organisms, the number of WNK genes an organism reflects the organisms complexity. There are 4 (identified) WNK genes (WNK1, WNK2, WNK3 and WNK4) in human (h) and rat (r), one in C. elegans and D. melanogaster and no WNK-homologous gene in yeast or bacteria. The hWNK kinases exhibit ~30% seq identity and 50% seq homology to human Mitogen Activated Protein kinases (MAPK) STK2, PAK2, MEKK3, PAK3 and Raf-1. The mutation in genes expressing WNK1 (chromosome 12p13.3) and WNK4 (chromosome 17q) causes Pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII), an autosomal disorder featuring hypertension, hyperkalemia (high serum K+ level), normal/elevated aldosterone level, increased renal salt absorption, and impaired K+ and H+ excretion. WNK2 (human 779-aa, chromosome 9q22.3) is a serine-threonine kinase with a catalytic domain which is ~91% homologous to that of hWNK1. The conserved catalytic lysine in subdomain II is replaced by a cysteine but another lysine residue in the glycine ribbon of the subdomain I confers the kinase activity. Eleven out of 33 residues in the subdomains I and II of WNK3 are conserved in the 18 WNK-related kinases. The WNK2 is predominantly expressed in heart, brain and colon.
