Background

MST2 (mammalian sterile twenty-like 2; also known as STK3 and Krs-1) is a 58 kDa member of the GCKII group of the STE20 subfamily of the STE Ser/Thr kinase protein family. In human, MST2 is 491 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one kinase domain (aa 27‑278), two NESs (aa 361‑371 and 438‑447) and coiled-coil domains (aa 287‑328 and 442‑475), and one NLS (aa 473‑487). A caspase-cleavage site exists between Asp322‑Ser323. MST2 is normally inactive in the cytoplasm bound to Raf-1. Cell activation induces Raf-1:MST2 dissociation, MST2 cleavage, and N-terminal translocation to the nucleus. Human MST2 is 99% and 96% aa identical to canine and mouse MST2, respectively.
