Title: Tssk4 is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of sperm flagellum.
HSP90 function abolished the catalytic activities of TSSK4 and -6 but did not significantly alter the specific activities of TSSK1 and -2. Inhibition of HSP90 resulted in increased TSSK ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation
Title: Heat shock protein 90 functions to stabilize and activate the testis-specific serine/threonine kinases, a family of kinases essential for male fertility.
autophosphorylation at Thr-197 plays a critical role in maintaining Tssk4 kinase activity, which might be involved in spermiogenesis.
Title: Testis specific serine/threonine kinase 4 (Tssk4) maintains its kinase activity by phosphorylating itself at Thr-197.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
