Disease relevance of HCK

  • Our findings add to the diversity of protein-tyrosine kinases that may serve specialized functions in hemopoietic cells, and they raise the possibility that damage to HCK may contribute to the pathogenesis of some human leukemias [1].
  • HCK is located on human chromosome 20 at bands q11-12, a region that is affected by interstitial deletions in some acute myeloid leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders [1].
  • Comparison of samples from patients taken prior to and following STI571 failure suggested that expression and/or activation of LYN/HCK occurs during disease progression [2].
  • Thermodynamic data, derived from isothermal titration calorimetry, for the binding of Hck SH3 to HIV-1 Nef show that the binding of Hck (KD = 1.5 microM) is approximately an order of magnitude tighter than those of other Src family kinases that were investigated (Fyn, Lck, and Src) [3].
  • Induction of CCL20 mRNA in HCE and HCK was also examined upon in vitro infection with HSV-1 [4].
 

High impact information on HCK

  • The human proto-oncogene HCK encodes two versions of a protein-tyrosine kinase, with molecular weights of 59,000 (p59hck) and 61,000 (p61hck) [5].
  • Myristoylation and differential palmitoylation of the HCK protein-tyrosine kinases govern their attachment to membranes and association with caveolae [5].
  • The 57-kilodalton protein encoded by HCK resembles the product of the proto-oncogene c-src and is therefore likely to be a peripheral membrane protein [1].
  • Even at concentrations as high as 100 micrograms/ml (approximately 278 microM), this novel inhibitor did not affect the enzymatic activity of other protein tyrosine kinases, including JAK1, JAK3, HCK, epidermal growth factor receptor kinase, and insulin receptor kinase [6].
  • The human hemopoietic cell kinase (HCK) is a member of the src family of protein tyrosine kinases specifically expressed in myeloid cells and to a minor extent in B-lymphoid cells [7].
 

Biological context of HCK

 

Anatomical context of HCK

 

Associations of HCK with chemical compounds

  • However, CDK2 and HCK kinase in complex with other flavone inhibitors such as quercetin and flavopiridol showed a different binding mode with the inhibitor rotated by about 180 degrees [13].
 

Regulatory relationships of HCK

  • In addition, in HCK cell over-expressing LEDGF, the levels of hINV mRNA and hINV protein are increased by four to five-fold [10].
  • HCK expression is up-regulated at the transcriptional level during myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic cells [7].
 

Other interactions of HCK

  • Sequence analysis and characterization of the intron/exon organization of the human HCK gene, encoding a hemopoietic-specific cell PTK of the src-related family, revealed a length of over 16 kb for the seven 3'-exons [14].
  • The genomic locus of the human hemopoietic-specific cell protein tyrosine kinase (PTK)-encoding gene (HCK) confirms conservation of exon-intron structure among human PTKs of the src family [14].
  • This regulation appears to be physiologically important, as over-expression of HCK with LEDGF increases the expression of the endogenous hINV gene and may provide new insight to understand the molecular mechanism of transcriptional regulation of this gene [10].
