General info

Function

Serine/threonine-protein kinase, which plays a role in the response to environmental stress (By similarity). Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway (PubMed : 9003777). Activator of the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. MAP4Ks act in parallel to and are partially redundant with STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST2 in the phosphorylation and activation of LATS1/2, and establish MAP4Ks as components of the expanded Hippo pathway (By similarity). May play a role in hematopoietic lineage decisions and growth regulation (PubMed : 9003777). Together with CLNK, it enhances CD3-triggered activation of T-cells and subsequent IL2 production (PubMed : 11509653).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.

Post-translational modifications

Autophosphorylates: phosphorylation promotes ubiquitination by the Cul7-RING(FBXW8) ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, leading to its degradation by the proteasome.. Tyrosine-phosphorylated after activation of hemopoietic cells.. Ubiquitinated by the Cul7-RING(FBXW8) ubiquitin-protein ligase complex following autophosphorylation, leading to its degradation by the proteasome.
