Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Tousled-Like Kinase 1 STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. A splice variant of TLK1, called TLK1B, is expressed in the presence of double strand breaks (DSBs). It lacks the N-terminal part of TLK1, but is expected to phosphorylate the same substrates. TLK1/1B interacts with Rad9, which is critical in DNA damage-activated checkpoint response, and plays a role in the repair of linearized DNA with incompatible ends. TLKs play important functions during the cell cycle and are implicated in chromatin remodeling, DNA replication and repair, and mitosis. The TLK1 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. |
