Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in budding cell bud growth; mitotic morphogenesis checkpoint signaling; and septin ring assembly. Located in cellular bud neck septin collar; incipient cellular bud site; and septin ring. Orthologous to human BRSK1 (BR serine/threonine kinase 1) and BRSK2 (BR serine/threonine kinase 2).
SGD Description
Protein kinase of the bud neck involved in the septin checkpoint; associates with septin proteins, negatively regulates Swe1p by phosphorylation, shows structural homology to bud neck kinases Gin4p and Hsl1p; KCC4 has a paralog, GIN4, that arose from the whole genome duplication
