ULK1 and ULK2 (for UNC-51-like kinase) encode similar amino-terminal serine/threonine kinase domains, a proline/serine-rich (PS) domain, and a species conserved carboxyl-terminal domain (1,2). Both share homology with the UNC-51 kinase from Caenorhabditis elegans and the APG1 kinase in yeast, which are involved in axonal extension and growth, and autophagy, respectively (1-5). ULK1 maps to human chromosome 12q24.3 and is ubiquitously expressed (6). ULK2, also widely expressed, maps to mouse chromosome 11B1.3 and is expected to have a similar molecular weight as ULK1 in human (2). ULK1 and ULK2 are thought to auto-phosphorylate the PS domain in vitro, and the significant homology among vertebrates suggest that ULK1 and ULK2 are involved in the regulation of fundamental biological processes (1,2,6).
