Scientific Background: TAO1 (MAP3K16, TAOK1) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the STE group and STE20 family. It is involved in various processes such as p38/MAPK14 stress-activated MAPK cascade, DNA damage response and regulation of cytoskeleton stability. It phosphorylates MAP2K3, MAP2K6 and MARK2, and acts as an activator of the p38 (MAPK14) stress-activated MAPK cascade by phosphorylation and activation of the upstream MKK3 and MKK6 kinases. It is involved in G protein-coupled receptor signalling to p38 (MAPK14). In response to DNA damage, it is involved in the G2/M transition DNA damage checkpoint by activating the p38 (MAPK14) stress-activated MAPK cascade, probably by mediating phosphorylation of MKK3 (MAP2K3) and MKK6 (MAP2K6). It serves as a regulator of cytoskeleton stability by phosphorylating MARK2 at T208, leading to its activation and subsequent phosphorylation and detachment of MAPT/TAU from microtubules. It also regulates apoptotic morphological changes, including cell contraction, membrane blebbing and apoptotic bodies formation via activation of the JNK (MAPK8) cascade.
