Structural highlights
FunctionPRP4K_HUMAN Serine/threonine kinase involved in spliceosomal assembly as well as mitosis and signaling regulation (PubMed:10799319, PubMed:12077342, PubMed:17513757, PubMed:17998396). Connects chromatin mediated regulation of transcription and pre-mRNA splicing (PubMed:12077342). During spliceosomal assembly, interacts with and phosphorylates PRPF6 and PRPF31, components of the U4/U6-U5 tri-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP), to facilitate the formation of the spliceosome B complex. Plays a role in regulating transcription and the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) (PubMed:20118938). Associates with U5 snRNP and NCOR1 deacetylase complexes which may allow a coordination of pre-mRNA splicing with chromatin remodeling events involved in transcriptional regulation (PubMed:12077342). Associates and probably phosphorylates SMARCA4 and NCOR1 (PubMed:12077342). Phosphorylates SRSF1 (PubMed:11418604). Associates with kinetochores during mitosis and is necessary for recruitment and maintenance of the checkpoint proteins such as MAD1L1 and MAD12L1 at the kinetochores (PubMed:17998396). Phosphorylates and regulates the activity of the transcription factors such as ELK1 and KLF13 (PubMed:10799319, PubMed:17513757). Phosphorylates nuclear YAP1 and WWTR1/TAZ which induces nuclear exclusion and regulates Hippo signaling pathway, involved in tissue growth control (PubMed:29695716).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedPRP4 kinase is known for its roles in regulating pre-mRNA splicing and beyond. Therefore, a wider spectrum of PRP4 kinase substrates could be expected. The role of PRP4 kinase in cancer is also yet to be fully elucidated. Attaining specific and potent PRP4 inhibitors would greatly facilitate the study of PRP4 biological function and its validation as a credible cancer target. In this report, we verified the requirement of enzymatic activity of PRP4 in regulating cancer cell growth and identified an array of potential novel substrates through orthogonal proteomics approaches. The ensuing effort in structural biology unveiled for the first time unique features of PRP4 kinase domain and its potential mode of interaction with a low molecular weight inhibitor. These results provide new and important information for further exploration of PRP4 kinase function in cancer.
