histone H2AT120 kinase activity [GO_1990244]

Catalysis of the reaction: histone H2A-threonine (position 120) + ATP = histone H2A-phosphothreonine (position 120) + ADP. This reaction is the addition of a phosphate group to the threonine residue at position 120 of histone H2A.

Class

Catalysis of the reaction: histone H2A-threonine (position 120) + ATP = histone H2A-phosphothreonine (position 120) + ADP. This reaction is the addition of a phosphate group to the threonine residue at position 120 of histone H2A.

Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H2A2A histone (UniProtKB:Q6FI13); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes, but corresponds to T119 in Drosophila and S121 in yeast and Tetrahymena. Residue 1 is the first residue following removal of the initiating Methionine (Met). Note that each histone is encoded by multiple genes, and sequences may vary across different genes within an organism.
