| Tissue Specificity | Detected in placenta, fetal liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and skeletal muscle. Highly expressed in testis. Detected in spleen, thymus, colon, ovary, small intestine, prostate and peripheral blood leukocytes. Almost undetectable in liver and lung. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated at Ser-750, probably by CHEK1. Autophosphorylated.phosphorylation promotes the assembly of higher order oligomers and enzymatic activity. |
| Function | Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the process of chromatin assembly and probably also DNA replication, transcription, repair, and chromosome segregation. Phosphorylates the chromatin assembly factors ASF1A and ASF1B. Phosphorylation of ASF1A prevents its proteasome-mediated degradation, thereby enhancing chromatin assembly. Negative regulator of amino acid starvation-induced autophagy. |
