Scientific Background: MARK2 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CAMK group and CAMKL family. It is activated by phosphorylation on T208 by STK11 in complex with STE20-related adapter-alpha (STRAD alpha) pseudo kinase and CAB39. It mediates cell polarity and microtubule function. Some substrate proteins that MARK2 phosphorylates include CRTC2/TORC2, HDAC7, DCX, KIF13B, MAPT/TAU, MAP2, MAP4, and RAB11FIP2. Phosphorylation of microtubule associated proteins leads to protein dissociation and microtubule degeneration. The phosphorylation of MARK2 by the LKB1/LKB1 complex can occur with a T208A mutation in MARK2. The ability of MARK2 to bind YWHAZ and to dissociate from the membrane occurs with a T596A mutation. Inhibition of MARK2 via small inhibitory RNA induced axon-like outgrowth from neurites.
