Gene Description

CSK (C-terminal Src kinase) is a cytosolic non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase built from an SH3 domain, an SH2 domain and a kinase domain, lacking both a membrane-anchoring acylation signal and an activation-loop autophosphorylation site. Its main substrates are the C-terminal regulatory tyrosines of Src-family kinases (SRC, LCK, FYN, LYN, YES1, HCK); phosphorylation of this tail lets the kinase's own SH2 domain bind it intramolecularly, locking the kinase in an inactive conformation. Substrate selection relies on a docking interface between the two kinase domains rather than the conventional peptide-binding groove. CSK is recruited from the cytosol to membranes and lipid rafts by SH2 binding to tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptors and receptors (PAG/Cbp, SCIMP, activated IGF-1R/insulin receptor), and its SH3 domain binds the phosphatase PTPN22 (PEP), coordinating Src-family kinase inactivation. Through these activities CSK restrains T- and B-cell antigen receptor, Fc receptor and growth-factor signalling. Csk orthologs are present in choanoflagellates and other unicellular holozoans, where they phosphorylate the Src C-terminal tail; whether that phosphorylation was already strongly inhibitory before animals is disputed, while the adaptor-based recruitment and immune-signalling roles are animal-specific contexts.

Summary: Reactome reaction in which CSK (with Lck) phosphorylates PD-1 ITIM/ITSM tyrosines.
Reason: The MF itself is correct for CSK regardless of how important PD-1 is as a substrate; CSK substrate specificity is largely restricted to SFK tails by a docking mechanism (PMID:18614016), so PD-1 is at most a minor substrate.

Reason: Most precise MF term for CSK and phylogenetically well placed; the activity is in fact older than Bilateria (choanoflagellate Csk orthologs are active tyrosine kinases; PMID:18390552, PMID:16873552). Core function.

IEA
GO_REF:0000107

Summary: IEA from rat Csk.
Reason: CSK binds its SFK substrates via a docking interface and binds activated receptor tyrosine kinases via its SH2 domain; correct but adds little beyond kinase activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18614016
Csk cannot phosphorylate substrates that lack this docking mechanism because the conventional substrate binding site used by most tyrosine kinases to recognize substrates is destabilized in Csk by a deletion in the activation loop

NEW
Summary: CSK directly catalyses the inhibitory phosphorylation of the Src-family kinase C-terminal tail, suppressing their kinase activity.
Reason: Participation test: CSK itself performs the regulatory step (phosphorylation of Lck Tyr-505, Yes inactivation). Not redundant with existing process rows, which describe downstream signalling consequences. The term is sparsely used in GO (e.g. SRCIN1, PTK6), so the comparator check gives no convention against it.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:1639064
Phosphorylation of Tyr-505 suppressed the catalytic activity of p56lck
PMID:9281320
we show that the enzyme is inactivated by incubation with protein tyrosine kinase Csk in an ATP-Mg-dependent manner, indicating that cellular Yes can be regulated by Csk phosphorylation

Expression of PAG in COS cells results in recruitment of endogenous Csk, altered Src kinase activity, and impaired phosphorylation of Src-specific substrates

Core Functions

Non-receptor tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates the C-terminal inhibitory tyrosine of Src-family kinases, switching them to the closed inactive conformation; this activity, with tail phosphorylation of Src, is shared by Csk orthologs in choanoflagellates.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:1639064
    Here we characterize a human cytosolic 50 kDa protein tyrosine kinase, p50csk, which specifically phosphorylates Tyr-505 of p56lck and a synthetic peptide containing this site
  • PMID:1639064
    Phosphorylation of Tyr-505 suppressed the catalytic activity of p56lck
  • PMID:9281320
    we show that the enzyme is inactivated by incubation with protein tyrosine kinase Csk in an ATP-Mg-dependent manner, indicating that cellular Yes can be regulated by Csk phosphorylation
  • PMID:18614016
    Csk cannot phosphorylate substrates that lack this docking mechanism because the conventional substrate binding site used by most tyrosine kinases to recognize substrates is destabilized in Csk by a deletion in the activation loop
  • PMID:8890164
    We previously showed that Csk is a potent negative regulator of antigen receptor signaling in T lymphocytes
  • PMID:16873552
    we show that the src gene family and its C-terminal Src kinase (Csk)-mediated regulatory system already were established in the unicellular M. ovata

SH2-domain binding to tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptors and receptors (PAG/Cbp, SCIMP, IGF-1R/IR) recruits CSK to membranes and lipid rafts near its Src-family kinase substrates and stimulates its activity; this recruitment system is documented only in animal cells.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:10026153
    We found that the SH2 domain of CSK binds to the tyrosine-phosphorylated form of IGF-IR and IR
  • PMID:21930792
    When phosphorylated, SCIMP binds to the SLP65 adaptor protein and also to the inhibitory kinase Csk
  • PMID:10790433
    Expression of PAG in COS cells results in recruitment of endogenous Csk, altered Src kinase activity, and impaired phosphorylation of Src-specific substrates
  • PMID:17911601
    which in turn phosphorylates and activates C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) in T cell lipid rafts
  • PMID:24902122
    Instead of being controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation, Csk adopts active and inactive conformations that are in dynamic equilibrium and are regulated by the binding of proteins to the Csk SH2 domain

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Did Csk phosphorylation inhibit Src before animals? Monosiga ovata and M. brevicollis studies (PMID:16873552, PMID:18390552) found weak or no inhibition of choanoflagellate Src, whereas a later yeast/in vitro study (PMID:28939764) reported inhibition for Capsaspora and M. brevicollis proteins. Which assay conditions explain the difference?

Q: Do unicellular holozoans have any functional equivalent of PAG/Cbp or other phosphotyrosine adaptors that recruit Csk to membranes, or is adaptor-based Csk recruitment an animal innovation?

Q: Should the PANTHER IBD of adherens junction organization at PTN002815304, seeded only by an expression-pattern (IEP) annotation of rat Csk, be revisited?

Q: Is SH3-mediated CSK homodimerization (PMID:19888460) physiologically relevant for regulating PTPN22 recruitment in cells?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Side-by-side kinetic comparison of human, Monosiga and Capsaspora Csk acting on their cognate and on human Src, using identical purified proteins and both in vitro and SYF-cell assays, to resolve whether tail phosphorylation was inhibitory before animals.

Experiment: Knockout of Csk in Salpingoeca rosetta or Capsaspora owczarzaki, measuring Src activity and colony/aggregate phenotypes, to test whether Csk has a role in premetazoan multicellular stages.

Experiment: Proximity labelling of CSK in human T cells with and without PAG1/SCIMP to map adaptor-dependent CSK localisation and substrates beyond Src-family kinases.
