catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Cell-cycle regulated, maximal activity in S-phase. Inactivated by phosphorylation at Ser-750, potentially by CHK1.,function:Rapidly and transiently inhibited by phosphorylation following the generation of DNA double-stranded breaks during S-phase. This is cell cycle checkpoint and ATM-pathway dependent and appears to regulate processes involved in chromatin assembly.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Heterodimerizes with TLK1. Interacts with ASF1A and ASF1B.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Present in fetal placenta, liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and skeletal muscle. Also found in adult cell lines.,
Nucleus. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Colocalizes with the cytoplasmic intermediate filament system during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Present in the perinuclear region at S phase and in the nucleus at late G2.
Ubiquitous. Detected in placenta, fetal liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and skeletal muscle. Highly expressed in testis. Detected in spleen, thymus, colon, ovary, small intestine, prostate and peripheral blood leukocytes.
