Fructosamine-3-kinase (FN3K)

The protein contains 309 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 35171 Da.

 

Fructosamine-3-kinase involved in protein deglycation by mediating phosphorylation of fructoselysine residues on glycated proteins, to generate fructoselysine-3 phosphate (PubMed:11016445, PubMed:11522682, PubMed:11975663). Fructoselysine-3 phosphate adducts are unstable and decompose under physiological conditions (PubMed:11522682, PubMed:11975663). Involved in intracellular deglycation in erythrocytes (PubMed:11975663). Involved in the response to oxidative stress by mediating deglycation of NFE2L2/NRF2, glycation impairing NFE2L2/NRF2 function (By similarity). Also able to phosphorylate psicosamines and ribulosamines (PubMed:14633848). (updated: Oct. 16, 2019)

Fructosamine 3-kinase
Fn3k

DESCRIPTION

FN3K catalyzes phosphorylation of fructosamines formed by glycation, the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose with primary amines followed by Amadori rearrangement. Phosphorylation of fructosamines may initiate metabolism of the modified amine and result in deglycation of glycated proteins (Delpierre et al., 2000).

CLONING

Delpierre et al. (2000) purified FN3K from erythrocyte extracts. By partial sequencing of tryptic peptides, followed by examination of an EST database and PCR amplification, they cloned FN3K from a kidney cDNA library. They cloned mouse Fn3k from a brain cDNA library. Both predicted proteins contain 309 amino acids and have calculated molecular masses of 35 kD. Human and mouse FN3K share 86% amino acid identity. Purified FN3K showed an apparent molecular mass of 35 kD by SDS-PAGE. Using RT-PCR, Conner et al. (2004) detected variable FN3K expression in all human tissues examined, with highest levels in brain, kidney, spinal cord, and heart.

GENE FUNCTION

Delpierre et al. (2000) demonstrated that purified FN3K catalyzed ATP-dependent phosphorylation of a synthetic fructosamine, 1-deoxy-1-morpholinofructose (DMF). Recombinant mouse and human FN3K, expressed in E. coli, catalyzed phosphorylation of DMF, fructoselysine, fructoseglycine, and fructose in order of decreasing affinity. They also phosphorylated glycated lysozyme, but not unmodified lysozyme. In addition to ATP, FN3K was able to utilize GTP, CTP, and UTP as phosphate donors. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that the phosphate was bound to the third carbon of the 1-deoxyfructose moiety.

GENE STRUCTURE

Collard et al. (2003) determined that the FN3K gene contains 6 exons. Conner et al. (2004) found that the promoter region of the FN3K gene has a high GC content, but no TATA or CAAT boxes. It also has 2 putative NFKB (see 164011)-binding sites.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis and FISH, Collard et al. (2003) mapped the FN3K gene to chromosome 17q25. They identified 2 FN3K pseudogene fragments on chromosome 22. ... More on the omim web site
