HIPK2

HIPK2 is a conserved serine/threonine nuclear kinase that interacts with homeodomain transcription factors.[supplied by OMIM

homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2

Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in transcription regulation, p53/TP53-mediated cellular apoptosis and regulation of the cell cycle. Acts as a corepressor of several transcription factors, including SMAD1 and POU4F1/Brn3a and probably NK homeodomain transcription factors. Phosphorylates PDX1, ATF1, PML, p53/TP53, CREB1, CTBP1, CBX4, RUNX1, EP300, CTNNB1, HMGA1 and ZBTB4. Inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis through the activation of p53/TP53 both at the transcription level and at the protein level (by phosphorylation and indirect acetylation). The phosphorylation of p53/TP53 may be mediated by a p53/TP53-HIPK2-AXIN1 complex. Involved in the response to hypoxia by acting as a transcriptional co-suppressor of HIF1A. Mediates transcriptional activation of TP73. In response to TGFB, cooperates with DAXX to activate JNK. Negative regulator through phosphorylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of CTNNB1 and the antiapoptotic factor CTBP1. In the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway acts as an intermediate kinase between MAP3K7/TAK1 and NLK to promote the proteasomal degradation of MYB. Phosphorylates CBX4 upon DNA damage and promotes its E3 SUMO-protein ligase activity. Activates CREB1 and ATF1 transcription factors by phosphorylation in response to genotoxic stress. In response to DNA damage, stabilizes PML by phosphorylation. PML, HIPK2 and FBXO3 may act synergically to activate p53/TP53-dependent transactivation. Promotes angiogenesis, and is involved in erythroid differentiation, especially during fetal liver erythropoiesis. Phosphorylation of RUNX1 and EP300 stimulates EP300 transcription regulation activity. Triggers ZBTB4 protein degradation in response to DNA damage. Modulates HMGA1 DNA-binding affinity. In response to high glucose, triggers phosphorylation-mediated subnuclear localization shifting of PDX1. Involved in the regulation of eye size, lens formation and retinal lamination during late embryogenesis.

Cytoplasm; PML body. Concentrated in PML/POD/ND10 nuclear bodies. Small amounts are cytoplasmic.

Autophosphorylation at Tyr-361 in the activation loop activates the kinase and promotes nuclear localization.
Sumoylated. When conjugated it is directed to nuclear speckles. Desumoylated by SENP1 (By similarity). Sumoylation on Lys-32 is promoted by the E3 SUMO-protein ligase CBX4.
Ubiquitinated by FBXO3, WSB1 and SIAH1, leading to rapid proteasome-dependent degradation. The degradation mediated by FBXO3, but not ubiquitination, is prevented in the presence of PML. The degradation mediated by WSB1 and SIAH1 is reversibly reduced upon DNA damage.
Cleaved at Asp-923 and Asp-984 by CASP6 in a p53/TP53-dependent manner. The cleaved form lacks the autoinhibitory C-terminal domain (AID), resulting in a hyperactive kinase, which potentiates p53/TP53 Ser-46 phosphorylation and subsequent activation of the cell death machinery.
