Is involved in regulation of translation. Is preferentially associated with CBC-bound spliced mRNA-protein complexes during the pioneer round of mRNA translation. Contributes to enhanced translational efficiency of spliced over nonspliced mRNAs. Recruits activated ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-1 I/RPS6KB1 to newly synthesized mRNA. Involved in nuclear mRNA export; probably mediated by association with the TREX complex.
Here we identify skar as a novel and specific binding partner and substrate of s6k1 but not s6k2. We find that serines 383 and 385 of human skar are insulin-stimulated and rapamycin-sensitive s6k1 phosphorylation sites.
