Summary
BRSK1 (BR serine/threonine kinase 1, HGNC:18994) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.42, encoding Serine/threonine-protein kinase BRSK1 (Q8TDC3). Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a key role in polarization of neurons and centrosome duplication.
Enables magnesium ion binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in mitotic G2 DNA damage checkpoint signaling and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and response to UV. Located in cell junction; cytoplasm; and nucleoplasm.

Function. Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a key role in polarization of neurons and centrosome duplication. Phosphorylates CDC25B, CDC25C, MAPT/TAU, RIMS1, TUBG1, TUBG2 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-529’ and ‘Ser-579’. Also regulates neuron polarization by mediating phosphorylation of WEE1 at ‘Ser-642’ in postmitotic neurons, leading to down-regulate WEE1 activity in polarized neurons. In neurons, localizes to synaptic vesicles and plays a role in neurotransmitter release, possibly by phosphorylating RIMS1. Also acts as a positive regulator of centrosome duplication by mediating phosphorylation of gamma-tubulin (TUBG1 and TUBG2) at ‘Ser-131’, leading to translocation of gamma-tubulin and its associated proteins to the centrosome. Involved in the UV-induced DNA damage checkpoint response, probably by inhibiting CDK1 activity through phosphorylation and activation of WEE1, and inhibition of CDC25B and CDC25C.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Synapse. Presynaptic active zone. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Synaptic vesicle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed, with highest levels in brain and testis. Protein levels remain constant throughout the cell cycle.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Thr-189 by STK11/LKB1 in complex with STE20-related adapter-alpha (STRADA) pseudo kinase and CAB39. Not phosphorylated at Thr-189 by CaMKK2. In contrast, it is phosphorylated and activated by CaMKK1. May be inactivated via dephosphorylation of Thr-189 by PP2C.
Activity regulation. Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-189 by STK11/LKB1.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. SNF1 subfamily.
