catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:Serine/threonine kinase which acts as a positive regulator of apoptosis. Phosphorylates histone H3 on 'Thr-11' at centromeres during mitosis.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DAP kinase subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subcellular location:Relocates to the cytoplasm on binding PAWR where the complex appears to interact with actin filaments (By similarity). Associates to centromeres from prophase to anaphase.,subunit:Homodimer or forms heterodimers with ATF4. Both interactions require an intact leucine zipper domain and oligomerization is required for full enzymatic activity. Also binds to DAXX and PAWR, possibly in a ternary complex which plays a role in caspase activation. Interacts with AATF and CDC5L.,
Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Predominantly localizes to the cytoplasm but can shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm; cytoplasmic localization is promoted by phosphorylation at Thr-299 and involves Rho/Rock signaling. .; [Isoform 1]: Nucleus . Cytoplasm .; [Isoform 2]: Nucleus . Cytoplasm .
Widely expressed. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in the bladder smooth muscle.
