    text
  • DNA damage induced by UV or methyl methane sulfonate caused translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus
  • a pool of BRSK1, but not BRSK2 or LKB1, localizes at membrane lipid rafts
  • is specifically localized to neuromuscular junctions
  • basic FUNCTION
  • acting as checkpoint kinase upon DNA damage induced by UV or methyl methane sulfonate
  • required for neuronal polarization
  • role in the control of centrosome biogenesis and essential for centriole duplication
  • its kinase activity controls centrosome homeostasis by regulating phosphorylation of TUBG1
  • BRSK2 and BRSK1 (its homologue, SAD-B) kinases may regulate neuronal polarization, presynaptic vesicle clustering and axon termination
  • BRSK1, BRSK2 are crucial for establishing neuronal polarity, and BRSK1 has also been shown to regulate neurotransmitter release presynaptically
  • BRSK1, BRSK2 are required for axon specification and arborization in subsets of neurons
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, checkpoint
