Descriptions

WNK family protein kinases are large enzymes that contain the catalytic lysine in a unique position compared with all other protein kinases. The activity of the Wnk1 kinase domain is controlled by its autoinhibitory domain, which is relieved through specific mutations of key residues in the domain. Activation of Wnk1 requires autophosphorylaiton of Ser382 within its activation loop, and phosphorylation of Ser378 enhances its kinase activity.

11 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cell volume homeostasis Any process involved in maintaining the steady state of a cell's volume. The cell's volume refers to the three-dimensional space occupied by a cell.
cellular hyperosmotic response Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of detection of, or exposure to, a hyperosmotic environment, i.e. an environment with a higher concentration of solutes than the organism or cell.
hyperosmotic response Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of detection of, or exposure to, a hyperosmotic environment, i.e. an environment with a higher concentration of solutes than the organism or cell.
intracellular signal transduction The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
monoatomic ion homeostasis Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of monoatomic ions within an organism or cell. Monatomic ions (also called simple ions) are ions consisting of exactly one atom.
multicellular organismal-level water homeostasis A chemical homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of water within extracellular body fluids, such as blood, xylem or phloem, of a multicellular organism. This is distinct from maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which occurs within a cell.
negative regulation of sodium ion transport Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of sodium ions (Na+) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
non-membrane-bounded organelle assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a non-membrane-bounded organelle.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
positive regulation of gene expression Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA).
positive regulation of potassium ion import across plasma membrane Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of potassium ion import across the plasma membrane.
