All UniProt accessions (2): A0ZT98, Q9BXA7
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Testis-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase required during spermatid development. Phosphorylates ‘Ser-288’ of TSKS. Involved in the late stages of spermatogenesis, during the reconstruction of the cytoplasm. During spermatogenesis, required for the transformation of a ring-shaped structure around the base of the flagellum originating from the chromatoid body.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with TSSK2. Interacts with HSP90; this interaction stabilizes TSSK1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Acrosome. Cell projection. Cilium. Flagellum.
Tissue specificity. Testis-specific. Present in sperm (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Autophosphorylated. Ubiquitinated; HSP90 activity negatively regulates ubiquitination and degradation.
Activity regulation. Kinase activity is specifically inhibited by 2 classes of compounds: biphenyl compounds (1,1’-(biphenyl-4,4’-diyl)bis(2,2-dihydroxyethanone)) and 1,2,7-trialky-1H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinoxalin-6-one. Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-174 and potentially by autophosphorylation.
Miscellaneous. TSSK1B might be used as a target for male contraception or and intra-vaginal spermicides.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
