Function

Protein kinase Spk1 (Rad53) is a serine/threonine protein kinase which phosphorylates proteins. Rad53 controls S-phase checkpoint and G1 and G2 DNA damage checkpoints. Rad53 phosphorylates proteins at serine, threonine and tyrosine residues.

Structural highlights

Rad53 contains phosphothreonine recognition domains: FHA1 at the N-terminal (residues 1-164) which selects for Asp at position +3 relative to phosphothreonine and FHA2 at the C-terminal (residues 573-730) which selects for Ile at position +3 relative to phosphothreonine. Two SCD - SQ/TQ-rich cluster domains – are flanking the kinase domain.
