摘要：

Protein kinase CK2 is a highly conserved, pleiotropic, protein serine/threonine kinase that is essential for life in eukaryotes. CK2 has been implicated in diverse cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, circadian rhythms, apoptosis, transformation and tumorigenesis. In addition, there is increasing evidence that CK2 is involved in the maintenance of cell morphology and cell polarity, and in the regulation of the actin and tubulin cytoskeletons. Accordingly, this review will highlight published evidence in experimental models ranging from yeast to mammals documenting the emerging roles of protein kinase CK2 in the regulation of cell polarity, cell morphology and the cytoskeleton.
