Here we demonstrate that endogenous human homeodomain-interacting protein kinase (HIPK) 2 and the highly homologous kinase HIPK3 are found in a novel subnuclear domain, the HIPK domains. These are distinct from other subnuclear structures such as Cajal bodies and nucleoli and show only a partial colocalization with promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). A kinase inactive HIPK2 point mutant is localized in the nucleoplasm.
