Abstract:
Although conserved counterparts for most proteins involved in the G2/M transition of the cell cycle have been found in all eukaryotes, a notable exception is the essential but functionally enigmatic fungal kinase NIMA. While a number of vertebrate kinases have been identified with catalytic domain homology to NIMA, none of these resemble NIMA within its extensive noncatalytic region, a region critical for NIMA function in Aspergillus nidulans. We used a bioinformatics approach to search for proteins with homology to the noncatalytic region of NIMA and identified mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We have isolated TINC as a NIMA-interacting protein by using the yeast two-hybrid system and have confirmed that TINC interacts with NIMA in Aspergillus nidulans. The TINC-NIMA interaction is stabilized in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors and in the presence of kinase-inactive NIMA, suggesting that the interaction is enhanced when NIMA is not fully activated. TINC is a cytoplasmic protein. TINC homologues and a TINC-like protein (A. nidulans HETC) are conserved in other filamentous fungi. Neither deletion of tinC nor deletion of both tinC and A. nidulans hetC is lethal, but delet

Abstract:
Entry into mitosis requires p34(cdc2), which activates downstream mitotic events through phosphorylation of key target proteins. In Aspergillus nidulans, the NIMA protein kinase has been identified as a potential downstream target and plays a role in regulating chromatin condensation at mitosis. nimA- mutants arrest in a state that physically resembles interphase even though p34(cdc2) is fully active. Despite evidence for the existence of NIMA-like activities in a variety of cell types, the only bona fide NIMA homologue that has been identified is the nim-1 gene of Neurospora crassa. We report

Abstract:
Temperature sensitive (ts) nimA mutants of Aspergillus nidulans arrest at a unique point in G2 which is post activation of CDC2. Here we show that this G2 arrest is due to loss of nimA function and that it is dependent on BIMAAPC3, a component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Whereas nimA single mutants arrested in G2 with decondensed chromatin and interphase microtubule arrays, nimA, bimAAPC3 double mutants arrested growth with condensed chromatin and aster-like microtubule arrays. nimA, bimAAPC3 double mutants entered mitosis with kinetics similar to bimAAPC3 single mutan

Abstract:
The NIMA kinase is required for mitotic nuclear pore complex disassembly and potentially controls other mitotic-specific events. To investigate this possibility, we imaged NIMA–green fluorescent protein (GFP) using four-dimensional spinning disk confocal microscopy. At mitosis NIMA-GFP locates to spindle pole bodies (SPBs), which contain Cdk1/cyclin B, followed by Aurora, TINA, and the BimC kinesin. NIMA promotes NPC disassembly in a spatially regulated manner starting near SPBs. NIMA is also required for TINA, a NIMA-interacting protein, to locate to SPBs during initiation of mitosis, and TIN

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Aspergillus nidulans NIMA kinase is essential for mitosis and is the founding member of the conserved NIMA-related kinase (Nek) family of protein kinases. To gain insight into NIMA function, a copy number suppression screen has been completed that defines three proteins termed MCNA, MCNB, and MCNC (multi-copy-number suppressor of nimA1 A, B, and C). All display a distinctive and dynamic cell cycle-specific distribution. MCNC has weak similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Def1 within a shared CUE-like domain. MCNC, like Def1, is a cytoplasmic protein with slow mobility during sodi

Abstract:
Chromosome instability (CIN) has been identified as a common feature of most human cancers. A number of centrosomal kinases are thought to cause CIN in cancer cells. Part of those centrosomal kinases exhibit elevated expression in a wide variety of tumours and cancer cell lines. Additionally, critical roles in many aspects of cancer cell growth, proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance have been assigned to some of these centrosomal kinases, such as polo-like kinase 1 (PLk1) and Aurora-A kinase. Recent studies from our group and others revealed that a centrosomal kinase, Never in Mitosis

Abstract:
In eukaryotic cells, the peak of protein phosphorylation occurs during mitosis, switching the activities of a significant proportion of proteins and orchestrating a wholesale reorganization of cell shape and internal architecture. Most mitotic protein phosphorylation events are catalysed by a small subset of serine/threonine protein kinases. These include members of the Cdk (cyclin-dependent kinase), Plk (Polo-like kinase), Aurora, Nek (NimA-related kinase) and Bub families, as well as Haspin, Greatwall and Mps1/TTK. There has been steady progress in resolving the structural mechanisms that re

Abstract:
Mitosis is associated with profound changes in cell physiology and a spectacular surge in protein phosphorylation. To accomplish these, a remarkably large portion of the kinome is involved in the process. In the present review, we will focus on classic mitotic kinases, such as cyclin-dependent kinases, Polo-like kinases and Aurora kinases, as well as more recently characterized players such as NIMA (never in mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans)-related kinases, Greatwall and Haspin. Together, these kinases co-ordinate the proper timing and fidelity of processes including centrosomal functions, spi

Abstract:
Mitosis is the essential process during which a cell divides into two viable daughter cells. To allow a faithful segregation of the chromosomes into each daughter, the cell forms the bipolar spindle. The NIMA-like kinase family member Nek9 has been previously proposed to play a role in bipolar spindle assembly and in the chromosomal pathway of microtubule assembly. We aimed at gaining a better understanding of Nek9 function by characterizing Xenopus Nek9, xNek9, using the Xenopus egg extract system. We have shown that xNek9 may not act through the kinase cascade xNek9 – xNek6 in meiosis as
