Description
Serine/threonine kinase which is involved in the regulation of apoptosis, autophagy, transcription, translation and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Regulates both type I (caspase-dependent) apoptotic and type II (caspase-independent) autophagic cell deaths signal, depending on the cellular setting. Involved in formation of promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear body (PML-NB). Involved in apoptosis involving PAWR which mediates cytoplasmic relocation; in vitro phosphorylates PAWR (By similarity). Phosphorylates MYL12B in non-muscle cells leading to reorganization of actin cytoskeleton such as in regulation of cell polarity and cell migration. Positively regulates canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling through interaction with NLK and TCF7L2; disrupts the NLK-TCF7L2 complex thereby influencing the phosphorylation of TCF7L2 by NLK. Phosphorylates STAT3 and enhances its transcriptional activity. Enhances transcription from AR-responsive promoters in a hormone- and kinase-dependent manner. Phosphorylates histone H3 on 'Thr-11' at centromeres during mitosis (By similarity). Phosphorylates RPL13A on 'Ser-77' upon interferon-gamma activation which is causing RPL13A release from the ribosome, RPL13A association with the GAIT complex and its subsequent involvement in transcript-selective translation inhibition
