IUBMB Comments

Requires Mg2+. Peptide array data show a preference for phosphorylation of Thr over Ser and a preference for basic residues in the -5 to -1 positions . CRIK is an animal-specific protein kinase that phosphorylates myosin light chain (cf. EC 2.7.11.18, myosin-light-chain kinase) and is involved in cytokinesis in both mammals and Drosophila. Human CRIK phosphorylates myosin light chain, MYL9/MRLC1 on T19/S20 and GLI2 on S149 . Drosophila CRIK (sticky) interacts with the kinesins Nebbish and Pavarotti, and human CRIK interacts with their orthologs, KIF14 and KIF23/MKLP1 to promote midbody formation during cytokinesis . In Drosophila, CRIK/Sticky catalytic activity was required for this function. Human CRIK is mostly highly expressed in brain, and mutations that alter splicing or kinase activity lead to microcephaly [5, 6], as do knockouts in mouse and rat, and mutations in its interacting partner, the kinesin KIF14 .
