Biochem/physiol Actions

TOPK is a MAPK kinase that phosphorylates p38 MAPK and is activated in a cell-cycle-dependent manner in neuronal progenitor cells in vitro. Expression of TOPK is detected in male germ line progenitor cells, activated T-cells, and a variety of lymphomas and leukemias. In vitro studies have shown that activated TOPK phosphorylated p38MAPK but not JNK or ERK. TOPK activation requires phosphorylation by both the M-phase CDK1/CyclinB kinase complex and another unknown kinase, possibly RafC or RafA. TOPK may play an important role in linking extracellular signals to an intracellular state, possibly allowing extracellular influence on the cell-cycle-related processes of proliferation or differentiation.

A MAPKK-like protein kinase TOPK expresses in a wide range of proliferating cells and tissues such as cancer cells and testis. However, details of this kinase are still uncovered. We investigated the intracellular distribution of TOPK and its association with

PBK/TOPK is a recently cloned serine/threonine kinase which is phosphorylated during mitosis. Earlier work indicated that this kinase is upregulated in a Burkitt's lymphoma cell line (GA-10). To determine whether PBK/TOPK is upregulated in other mitotically active neoplastic cell lines
