General description

TLK1 or tousled-like kinase 1 is a nuclear serine/threonine kinase that is potentially involved in the regulation of chromatin assembly. TLK1 is first described in Arabidopsis. TLK1 is a novel target of the DNA damage checkpoint that is rapidly inactivated upon exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) and the inactivation is directly mediated by the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint. The suppression of TLK1 activity after double-strand breaks in the DNA, replication blockade, or low doses of ultraviolet irradiation requires ATM, NBS and CHK1.
