Summary

CLK4 (CDC like kinase 4, HGNC:13659) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q35.3, encoding Dual specificity protein kinase CLK4 (Q9HAZ1). Dual specificity kinase acting on both serine/threonine and tyrosine-containing substrates.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CDC2-like protein kinase (CLK) family. This protein kinase can interact with and phosphorylate the serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins, which are known to play an important role in the formation of spliceosomes, and thus may be involved in the regulation of alternative splicing. Studies in the Israeli sand rat Psammomys obesus suggested that the ubiquitin-like 5 (UBL5/BEACON), a highly conserved ubiquitin-like protein, may interact with and regulate the activity of this kinase. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but the full-length natures of which have not yet been determined.

Function. Dual specificity kinase acting on both serine/threonine and tyrosine-containing substrates. Phosphorylates serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins of the spliceosomal complex and may be a constituent of a network of regulatory mechanisms that enable SR proteins to control RNA splicing. Phosphorylates SRSF1 and SRSF3. Required for the regulation of alternative splicing of MAPT/TAU. Regulates the alternative splicing of tissue factor (F3) pre-mRNA in endothelial cells.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with UBL5.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in liver, kidney, heart, muscle, brain and endothelial cells.

Post-translational modifications. Autophosphorylates on all three types of residues.

Activity regulation. TG003 inhibits its kinase activity and affects the regulation of alternative splicing mediated by phosphorylation of SR proteins.

Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Lammer subfamily.

60 molecules (phase ≥1), by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 468,961 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
