Creatine kinase in non-muscle tissues and cells

Abstract: Over the past years, a concept for creatine kinase function, the 'PCr-circuit' model, has evolved. Based on this concept, multiple functions for the CK/PCr-system have been proposed, such as an energy buffering function, regulatory functions, as well as an energy transport function, mostly based on studies with muscle. While the temporal energy buffering and metabolic regulatory roles of CK are widely accepted, the spatial buffering or energy transport function, that is, the shuttling of PCr and Cr between sit… Show more

“…The PAR-1-CKB interaction identified in these studies may also be important during other RhoA pathway-dependent thrombin signals that regulate cell viability, vascular endothelial permeability, platelet aggregation, and fibroblast stress fiber formation (8,18,43,52). CKB is also expressed in endothelium, platelets, and fibroblasts where PAR-1 mediates morphological responses (53,54). Preliminary studies in our laboratory suggest a similar CKB signaling mechanism may persist in these cells (unpublished observations).…”

“…Also, creatine kinase inhibitors reduce tumor cell motility (42), and the creatine kinase homolog arginine kinase is selectively concentrated in motile versus static neuronal growth cones (26). Why certain cellular reactions are preferentially coupled to ATP generated specifically by creatine kinase as opposed to other ATP generating systems remains enigmatic, although metabolite channeling within multienzyme complexes and the energetic advantage of the close apposition of creatine kinase to ATPases demonstrated in previous studies is an attractive explanation (23,38,54,56). An explicit function for creatine kinase during signal transduction is suggested by the recently demonstrated interaction with AMP-activated protein kinase and regulation of its kinase activity (57).…”

“…Cr produced during this reaction is shuttled back to the mitochondria for recharging it to PCr. This energy shuttling system is particularly efficient in tissues with a very high and fluctuating energy demand like skeletal and cardiac muscle, as well as in brain and neural tissues (7). Thus, in addition to the generally accepted temporal energy buffering function, PCr also provides a means to spatially buffer energy reserves (3).…”
