== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CSK21_HUMAN CSK21_HUMAN] Catalytic subunit of a constitutively active serine/threonine-protein kinase complex that phosphorylates a large number of substrates containing acidic residues C-terminal to the phosphorylated serine or threonine. Regulates numerous cellular processes, such as cell cycle progression, apoptosis and transcription, as well as viral infection. May act as a regulatory node which integrates and coordinates numerous signals leading to an appropriate cellular response. During mitosis, functions as a component of the p53/TP53-dependent spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that maintains cyclin-B-CDK1 activity and G2 arrest in response to spindle damage. Also required for p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis, phosphorylating 'Ser-392' of p53/TP53 following UV irradiation. Can also negatively regulate apoptosis. Phosphorylates the caspases CASP9 and CASP2 and the apoptotic regulator NOL3. Phosphorylation protects CASP9 from cleavage and activation by CASP8, and inhibits the dimerization of CASP2 and activation of CASP8. Regulates transcription by direct phosphorylation of RNA polymerases I, II, III and IV. Also phosphorylates and regulates numerous transcription factors including NF-kappa-B, STAT1, CREB1, IRF1, IRF2, ATF1, SRF, MAX, JUN, FOS, MYC and MYB. Phosphorylates Hsp90 and its co-chaperones FKBP4 and CDC37, which is essential for chaperone function. Regulates Wnt signaling by phosphorylating CTNNB1 and the transcription factor LEF1. Acts as an ectokinase that phosphorylates several extracellular proteins. During viral infection, phosphorylates various proteins involved in the viral life cycles of EBV, HSV, HBV, HCV, HIV, CMV and HPV.<ref>PMID:11239457</ref> <ref>PMID:11704824</ref> <ref>PMID:16193064</ref> <ref>PMID:19188443</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is an anti-apoptotic cancer-sustaining protein kinase. Its crystallographic structures with the natural compounds coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and boldine, an alkaloid, are reported. Coumestrol shows different inhibitory activity against the isolated catalytic alpha-subunit and the alpha2beta2 holoenzyme and is able to discriminate between two conformations of the hinge/alphaD region, whose intrinsic flexibility is a relevant selectivity determinant among kinases. Boldine explores a small cavity at the bottom of the ATP-binding pocket through a local deviation from planarity, a unique case among CK2 inhibitors. The two compounds have different impacts on protein flexibility, which correlate with their different properties.

Inhibitory Properties of ATP-Competitive Coumestrol and Boldine Are Correlated to Different Modulations of CK2 Flexibility.,Battistutta R, Lolli G J Nat Prod. 2019 Apr 26;82(4):1014-1018. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.8b00889. Epub , 2019 Mar 6. PMID:30840451<ref>PMID:30840451</ref>
