SRPK2 is an SR protein-specific kinase with a stringent preference for SR dipeptides; phosphorylation of ASF/SF2 by SRPK2 enhances its interaction with U1 70K, and overexpression of SRPK2 induces redistribution of splicing factors in the nucleus, indicating a role in spliceosome assembly and trafficking of splicing factors. |

SRPK1 and SRPK2 suppress HBV replication by reducing pregenomic RNA packaging efficiency without affecting core particle formation; this suppressive effect is independent of their kinase activity toward the core protein, as kinase-dead mutants retain suppressive activity and overexpression does not alter in vivo core protein phosphorylation. |

SRPK2 associates with the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP and phosphorylates the RS domain of human PRP28 (DDX23); this phosphorylation is required for stable PRP28 association with the tri-snRNP and for tri-snRNP integration into the spliceosomal B complex. |

Akt phosphorylates SRPK2 on Thr-492, promoting SRPK2 nuclear translocation, cyclin D1 upregulation, cell cycle reentry, and apoptosis in neurons; SRPK2 phosphorylates SC35, inactivating p53 and contributing to cyclin D1 upregulation; 14-3-3 binding to Akt-phosphorylated SRPK2 inhibits these events. |

SRPK2 is cleaved by caspases at Asp-139 and Asp-403 during apoptosis; the N-terminal cleavage product translocates to the nucleus and promotes chromatin condensation and apoptotic cell death; Akt phosphorylation of SRPK2 prevents caspase cleavage, and 14-3-3β binding to Akt-phosphorylated SRPK2 further protects it from degradation. |

Paraquat treatment induces phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation of SRPK2, leading to increased SR protein phosphorylation and altered splice site selection; site-specific mutagenesis identified a single serine residue required for nuclear localization; genotoxic agents (cisplatin, γ-radiation) also promote SRPK2 phosphorylation and nuclear localization, coupling DNA damage response to alternative splicing via SRPK2. |

A conserved electronegative docking groove on SRPK2 (not its non-kinase regions) mediates substrate binding for both SRSF1 and acinusS; SRPK2 phosphorylates SRSF1 processively, but an electronegative region on acinusS restricts SRPK2 phosphorylation to a single specific site despite multiple RS dipeptides being present. |

mTORC1-activated S6K1 phosphorylates SRPK2 at Ser-494, which primes CK1-mediated Ser-497 phosphorylation; these events promote SRPK2 nuclear translocation where it phosphorylates SR proteins and promotes SR protein binding to U1-70K, inducing splicing of lipogenic pre-mRNAs; inhibition leads to intron retention and nonsense-mediated decay of lipogenic genes, blunting de novo lipid synthesis. |
