Protein

Serine/threonine-protein kinase BRSK2

Gene

Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: Annotation score: 5 out of 5-Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a key role in polarization of neurons and axonogenesis, cell cycle progress and insulin secretion. Phosphorylates CDK16, CDC25C, MAPT/TAU, PAK1 and WEE1. Following phosphorylation and activation by STK11/LKB1, acts as a key regulator of polarization of cortical neurons, probably by mediating phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins such as MAPT/TAU at 'Thr-504' and 'Ser-554'. Also regulates neuron polarization by mediating phosphorylation of WEE1 at 'Ser-642' in post-mitotic neurons, leading to down-regulate WEE1 activity in polarized neurons. Plays a role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle progress and the onset of mitosis. Plays a role in the regulation of insulin secretion in response to elevated glucose levels, probably via phosphorylation of CDK16 and PAK1. While BRSK2 phosphorylated at Thr-175 can inhibit insulin secretion (PubMed:22798068), BRSK2 phosphorylated at Thr-261 can promote insulin secretion (PubMed:22669945). Regulates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. May play a role in the apoptotic response triggered by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.5 Publications

Disruption phenotypei

No visible phenotype. Mice are fertile and healthy. In contrast, mice lacking both Brsk1 and Brsk2 show little spontaneous movement and are only weakly responsive to tactile stimulation: they die within 2 hours of birth. Defects are due to impaired neuronal differentiation and polarity.1 Publication

Post-translational modificationi

May be phosphorylated at Thr-261 by PKA (By similarity). Phosphorylated at Thr-175 by STK11/LKB1 in complex with STE20-related adapter-alpha (STRADA) pseudo kinase and CAB39. Not phosphorylated at Thr-175 by CaMKK2. In contrast, it is phosphorylated and activated by CaMKK1. May be inactivated via dephosphorylation of Thr-175 by PP2C.By similarity1 Publication
Polyubiquitinated by the APC complex in conjunction with FZR1, leading to its proteasomal degradation. Targeted for proteasomal degradation by interaction with COPS5. BRSK2 levels change during the cell cycle. BRSK2 levels are low at the G1/S boundary and gradually increase as cells progress into G2 phase. BRSK2 levels decrease rapidly at the end of mitosis (By similarity).By similarity

Similar proteinsi

Links to similar proteins from the UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef) at 100%, 90% and 50% sequence identity:
100%UniRef100 combines identical sequences and sub-fragments with 11 or more residues from any organism into one UniRef entry.
90%UniRef90 is built by clustering UniRef100 sequences that have at least 90% sequence identity to, and 80% overlap with, the longest sequence (a.k.a seed sequence).
50%UniRef50 is built by clustering UniRef90 seed sequences that have at least 50% sequence identity to, and 80% overlap with, the longest sequence in the cluster.
