Catalytic domain of the Protein Serine/Threonine Kinase, Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1. Serine/Threonine Kinases (STKs), ROCK subfamily, ROCK1 (or ROK-beta) isoform, catalytic (c) domain. STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. The ROCK subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. ROCK contains an N-terminal extension, a catalytic kinase domain, and a C-terminal extension, which contains a coiled-coil region encompassing a Rho-binding domain (RBD) and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. ROCK is auto-inhibited by the RBD and PH domain interacting with the catalytic domain, and is activated via interaction with Rho GTPases. ROCK1 is preferentially expressed in the liver, lung, spleen, testes, and kidney. It mediates signaling from Rho to the actin cytoskeleton. It is implicated in the development of cardiac fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and hyperglycemia. Mice deficient with ROCK1 display eyelids open at birth (EOB) and omphalocele phenotypes due to the disorganization of actin filaments in the eyelids and the umbilical ring.
