EC 2.7.11.34 Details
EC number
2.7.11.34
Accepted name
NEK6-subfamily protein kinase
Reaction
ATP + a [protein]-(L-serine/L-threonine) = ADP + a [protein]-(L-serine/L-threonine) phosphate
Other name(s)
NEK6, NEK7, nekl-3
Comment
Requires Mg2+. NEK6 subfamily kinases are present in animals, though lost in insects, and include human NEK6 and NEK7 and C. elegans nekl-3. They are activated in mitosis by phosphorylation by NEK9 [1], and phosphorylate cytoskeletal proteins including EML4, KIF11A and KIF14 [4,2]. In C. elegans, nekl-3 is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis [5]. In peptide arrays, NEK6 prefers to phosphorylate Ser residues, with hydrophobic residues at -2 and +1 and charged residues at -1, -2 and +2 [3].
