Descriptions

Nek7 is a NIMA-related kinase essential for proper mitotic spindle assembly. A human homolog Nek7 (Q8TDX7) is subject to autoinhibition by a tyrosine motif, Tyr97, like human Nek6 (Tyr108). This is because the Y97A mutation is more active than wild-type Nek7. A similar tyrosine motif is also found in rat Nek7.

Description
EC Number 2.7.11.34 Protein-serine/threonine kinases
Subcellular Localization
  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole
  • Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome
  • Present at centrosome throughout the cell cycle
  • Also detected at spindle midzone of the anaphase cells and eventually concentrates at the midbody (By similarity)
  • Interaction with ANKS3 prevents its translocation to the nucleus (By similarity)

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
microtubule organizing center An intracellular structure that can catalyze gamma-tubulin-dependent microtubule nucleation and that can anchor microtubules by interacting with their minus ends, plus ends or sides.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
spindle pole Either of the ends of a spindle, where spindle microtubules are organized; usually contains a microtubule organizing center and accessory molecules, spindle microtubules and astral microtubules.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
protein serine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate.
protein serine/threonine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate.
protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + a protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate; ATP + a protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate; and ATP + a protein tyrosine = ADP + protein tyrosine phosphate.

6 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cellular response to potassium ion Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a potassium ion stimulus.
positive regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly.
positive regulation of telomerase activity Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of telomerase activity, the catalysis of the reaction: deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).
positive regulation of telomere capping Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of telomere capping.
positive regulation of telomere maintenance via telomerase Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of telomeric repeats by telomerase.
protein phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein.
