ID:BRSK2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Serine/threonine-protein kinase BRSK2; EC=2.7.11.1; AltName: Full=Brain-selective kinase 2; EC=2.7.11.26; AltName: Full=Brain-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase 2; Short=BR serine/threonine-protein kinase 2; AltName: Full=Serine/threonine-protein kinase 29; AltName: Full=Serine/threonine-protein kinase SAD-A; FUNCTION: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a key role in polarization of neurons. Phosphorylates MAPT/TAU 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 'Ser-579'. Also regulates neuron polarization by mediating phosphorylation of WEE1 at 'Ser-642' in post-mitotic neurons, leading to down-regulate WEE1 activity in polarized neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + [tau protein] = ADP + [tau protein] phosphate. COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity). ENZYME REGULATION: Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-174 by STK11/LKB1. PTM: Phosphorylated at Thr-174 by STK11/LKB1 in complex with STE20-related adapter-alpha (STRADA) pseudo kinase and CAB39. Not phosphorylated at Thr-174 by CaMKK2. In contrast, it is phosphorylated and activated by CaMKK1. May be inactivated via dephosphorylation of Thr-174 by PP2C. May be phosphorylated at Thr-260 by PKA. However, phosphorylation at Thr-260 by PKA was not comfirmed later (PubMed:18339622). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. SNF1 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 UBA domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD09654.1; Type=Erroneous termination; Positions=663; Note=Translated as Gly; Sequence=AAD09654.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=640; Sequence=AAH24291.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
