In vitro
FMK inhibits the activity of RSK2 with IC50 of 15 nM. FMK suppresses EGF induced Ser386 phosphorylation of endogenous RSK2 in serum-starved COS-7 cells with EC50 of ~200 nM. Pretreatment of myocytes with FMK before exposure to the α1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine inhibited RSK C-terminal kinase activity and thereby RSK N-terminal kinase activation, without affecting MEK or ERK activation. Pretreatment of myocytes with fmk also inhibited phenylephrine-induced increases in NHE1 phosphorylation and the rate of NHE1-mediated H+ efflux under conditions of intracellular acidosis.
