Function

Pleiotropic regulator of mitotic progression, participating in the control of spindle dynamics and chromosome separation (PubMed:12101123, PubMed:12840024, PubMed:14660563, PubMed:19941817). Phosphorylates different histones, myelin basic protein, beta-casein, and BICD2 (PubMed:11864968). Phosphorylates histone H3 on serine and threonine residues and beta-casein on serine residues (PubMed:11864968). Important for G1/S transition and S phase progression (PubMed:12840024, PubMed:14660563, PubMed:19941817). Phosphorylates NEK6 and NEK7 and stimulates their activity by releasing the autoinhibitory functions of Tyr-108 and Tyr-97 respectively (PubMed:12840024, PubMed:14660563, PubMed:19941817, PubMed:26522158).

Activity summary

NEK9 also known as NIMA-related kinase 9 is a serine/threonine kinase with a molecular mass of approximately 118 kDa. It plays a role in the regulation of various cell cycle processes. NEK9 is active in both the cytoplasm and nucleus and expresses broadly in various tissues including the liver kidneys and pancreas. It also has homologs in other eukaryotic organisms indicating its conserved function across species.

Biological function summary

This protein modulates different aspects of mitosis particularly in spindle formation and chromosome segregation. NEK9 forms a part of a complex in conjunction with other kinases like NEK6 and NEK7 coordinating the early events of mitosis. Its activity supports centrosome separation and microtubule nucleation which are important for proper cell division.

Pathways

NEK9 is involved in the cell cycle and microtubule organization pathways. It works in conjunction with proteins such as PLK1 and Aurora A which regulate the entry and progression through mitosis. NEK9 activates NEK6 and NEK7 which further propagate signals necessary for mitotic spindle assembly ensuring efficient cell division.

Associated diseases and disorders

NEK9 has links to cancer and neurological disorders. Abnormal NEK9 activity has associations with tumorigenesis particularly linked with the dysregulation of cell cycle checkpoints and malignant transformation. In neurological disorder contexts NEK9 interacts with proteins like tau perturbing normal cellular functions and potentially contributing to disease pathology.

    Western blot - Anti-NEK9 antibody [EP7361] (ab138488)

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab138488 observed at 120 kDa. Red - loading control, Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) observed at 55kDa.

    ab138488 was shown to react with NEK9 in wild-type A431 cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when NEK9 knockout sample was used. Wild-type and NEK9 knockout A431 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab138488 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 Dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
