What is the function of this protein?
Serine/arginine-rich protein-specific kinase which specifically phosphorylates its substrates at serine residues located in regions rich in arginine/serine dipeptides, known as RS domains and is involved in the phosphorylation of SR splicing factors and the regulation of splicing (PubMed:9472028, PubMed:18559500, PubMed:21056976).  Promotes neuronal apoptosis by up-regulating cyclin-D1 (CCND1) expression (PubMed:19592491).  This is done by the phosphorylation of SRSF2, leading to the suppression of p53/TP53 phosphorylation thereby relieving the repressive effect of p53/TP53 on cyclin-D1 (CCND1) expression (PubMed:21205200).  Phosphorylates ACIN1, and redistributes it from the nuclear speckles to the nucleoplasm, resulting in cyclin A1 but not cyclin A2 up-regulation (PubMed:18559500).  Plays an essential role in spliceosomal B complex formation via the phosphorylation of DDX23/PRP28 (PubMed:18425142).  Probably by phosphorylating DDX23, leads to the suppression of incorrect R-loops formed during transcription; R-loops are composed of a DNA:RNA hybrid and the associated non-template single-stranded DNA (PubMed:28076779).  Can mediate hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein phosphorylation (PubMed:12134018).  Plays a negative role in the regulation of HBV replication through a mechanism not involving the phosphorylation of the core protein but by reducing the packaging efficiency of the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) without affecting the formation of the viral core particles (PubMed:16122776).
What are the official names of this protein?
SRSF protein kinase 2, SFRS protein kinase 2, Serine/arginine-rich protein-specific kinase 2, SR-protein-specific kinase 2.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus speckle. Chromosome. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm (PubMed:19592491, PubMed:21157427, PubMed:21056976). KAT5/TIP60 inhibits its nuclear translocation (PubMed:21157427). Phosphorylation at Thr-492 by PKB/AKT1 promotes nuclear translocation (PubMed:19592491). Preferentially localizes across the entire gene coding region (PubMed:28076779). During transcription, accumulates at chromatin loci where unscheduled R-loops form and colocalizes with paused 'Ser-5'-phosphorlyated POLR2A/RNA polymerase II and helicase DDX23 (PubMed:28076779).
