Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 4)
- Data show that human testis-specific serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinase (TSSK) 1 and 2 messages are expressed exclusively in the testis and suggest that this family of kinases might play a role in sperm function. (PMID:15044604)
- associated with male idiopathic infertility (PMID:19926886)
- Report evolution of testis-specific kinases TSSK1B and TSSK2 in primates. (PMID:23258646)
- n vitro phosphorylation experiments carried out with TSKS (isoform 1) fragments revealed particularly strong phosphorylation of a recombinant N-terminal region representing aa 1-150 of TSKS, indicating that the N-terminus of human TSKS is phosphorylated by human TSSK2. (PMID:26777341)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Testis-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase required during spermatid development. Phosphorylates TSKS at ‘Ser-288’ and SPAG16. 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 TSSK1B. Interacts with HSP90; this interaction stabilizes TSSK2.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Centriole.
Tissue specificity. Testis-specific. Present in mature spermatozoa (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Autophosphorylated. Ubiquitinated; HSP90 activity negatively regulates ubiquitination and degradation.
Activity regulation. Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-174, 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.
