NIMA-related kinase 2 (Nek2), a cell-cycle-regulated protein kinase localized to centrosomes, is complexed to protein phosphatase 1.
The cell cycle-regulated protein serine/threonine NIMA-related kinase 2 (Nek2), which shows a predominant localization at centrosomes, is identified as a protein which interacts with protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) using the yeast two-hybrid system. Complex formation between Nek2 and PP1 is supported by co-precipitation of the two proteins using transfected expression constructs of Nek2 and the end...
متن کاملCell Cycle: The NIMA kinase joins forces with Cdc2
The NIMA and Cdc2 protein kinases cooperate to regulate mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans. NIMA-related pathways have now begun to emerge in higher eukaryotes.
متن کاملProperties and regulation of the cell cycle-specific NIMA protein kinase of Aspergillus nidulans.
NIMA is the protein product of the nimA gene of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, required for progression of cells from G2 into mitosis. The protein kinase activity of NIMA, assayed by phosphorylation of beta-casein, varies during the nuclear division cycle, reaching a maximum in late G2 and M. To investigate the biochemical properties of this cell cycle-regulated protein kinase, we...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of protein kinase C inhibitors.
In the August issue of TiPS, Epand and Lester analysed the effect of the physicochemical properties of the membrane on protein kinase C activity. In addition to those substrates discussed that require the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipids, other substrates can be phosphorylated in the absence of these activators. It is possible that this differential substrate requirement could be exploited ph...
متن کاملDeterminants for Substrate Specificity of Protein Phosphatase 2A
Protein phosphatase 2A- (PP2A-) catalyzed dephosphorylation of target substrate proteins is widespread and critical for cellular function. PP2A is predominantly found as a heterotrimeric complex of a catalytic subunit (C), a scaffolding subunit (A), and one member of 4 families of regulatory subunits (B). Substrate specificity of the holoenzyme complex is determined by the subcellular locale th...
