Abstract excerpt
SRPK2 belongs to a family of serine/arginine (SR) protein-specific kinases (SRPKs), which phosphorylate SR domain-containing proteins in the nuclear speckles and mediate the pre-mRNA splicing. Previous studies have shown that SRPK2 plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, how SRPK2 is regulated during the apoptosis is unclear. Here, we show that SRPK2 is cleaved by caspases at Asp-139...
