General annotation (Comments)

Function	Stress-activated, pro-apoptotic kinase which, following caspase-cleavage, enters the nucleus and induces chromatin condensation followed by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Key component of the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1 are required to repress proliferation of mature hepatocytes, to prevent activation of facultative adult liver stem cells (oval cells), and to inhibit tumor formation By similarity. Phosphorylates 'Ser-14' of histone H2B (H2BS14ph) during apoptosis. Phosphorylates FOXO3 upon oxidative stress, which results in its nuclear translocation and cell death initiation. Phosphorylates MOBKL1A, MOBKL1B and RASSF2. Phosphorylates TNNI3 (cardiac Tn-I) and alters its binding affinity to TNNC1 (cardiac Tn-C) and TNNT2 (cardiac Tn-T). Phosphorylates FOXO1 on 'Ser-212' and regulates its activation and stimulates transcription of PMAIP1 in a FOXO1-dependent manner. Phosphorylates SIRT1 and inhibits SIRT1-mediated p53/TP53 deacetylation, thereby promoting p53/TP53 dependent transcription and apoptosis upon DNA damage. Acts as an inhibitor of PKB/AKT1. Phosphorylates AR on 'Ser-650' and suppresses its activity by intersecting with PKB/AKT1 signaling and antagonizing formation of AR-chromatin complexes. Ref.2 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.18 Ref.22 Ref.24 Ref.29 Ref.30 Ref.32
Catalytic activity	ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
Cofactor	Magnesium.
Enzyme regulation	Inhibited by the C-terminal non-catalytic region. Activated by caspase-cleavage. Full activation also requires homodimerization and autophosphorylation of Thr-183. Activated by RASSF1 which acts by preventing its dephosphorylation. Ref.8 Ref.12 Ref.31
Subunit structure	Homodimer; mediated via the coiled-coil region. Interacts with NORE1, which inhibits autoactivation. Interacts with and stabilizes SAV1. Interacts with RASSF1. Interacts with FOXO3. Interacts with RASSF2 (via SARAH domain). Interacts with AR, PKB/AKT1, TNNI3 and SIRT1. Ref.8 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.22 Ref.24 Ref.30 Ref.31 Ref.32
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: The caspase-cleaved form cycles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.16 Ref.24 Ref.30
Tissue specificity	Expressed in prostate cancer and levels increase from the normal to the malignant state (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed. Ref.16
Induction	Activity increases during mitosis. Ref.8 Ref.12 Ref.31
Post-translational modification	Autophosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylation at Thr-120 and Thr-387 by PKB/AKT1, leads to inhibition of its: kinase activity, nuclear translocation and autophosphorylation at Thr-183. It also diminishes its cleavage by caspases and its ability to phosphorylate FOXO3. Ref.12 Ref.17 Ref.26 Proteolytically cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis at Asp-326 and Asp-349 resulting in a 37 kDa or a 39 kDa subunit respectively. The 39 kDa subunit is further cleaved into the 37 kDa form. Proteolytic cleavage results in kinase activation and nuclear translocation of the truncated form (MST1/N). It is less likely that cleavage at Asp-349 is a prerequisite for activation as this site is not conserved in the murine ortholog. Ref.9
Involvement in disease	T-cell immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, and autoimmunity with or without cardiac malformations (TIIAC) [MIM:614868]: A primary T-cell immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by progressive loss of naive T cells, recurrent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, warts, and abscesses, autoimmune manifestations, and cardiac malformations, including atrial septal defect. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.34
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. Contains 1 SARAH domain.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAH29511.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence. The sequence AAH58916.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.
