Summary
NEK7 (NIMA related kinase 7, HGNC:13386) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q31.3, encoding Serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek7 (Q8TDX7). Protein kinase which plays an important role in mitotic cell cycle progression.
NIMA-related kinases share high amino acid sequence identity with the gene product of the Aspergillus nidulans ’never in mitosis A’ gene, which controls initiation of mitosis.

Function. Protein kinase which plays an important role in mitotic cell cycle progression. Required for microtubule nucleation activity of the centrosome, robust mitotic spindle formation and cytokinesis. Phosphorylates EML4 at ‘Ser-146’, promoting its dissociation from microtubules during mitosis which is required for efficient chromosome congression. Phosphorylates RPS6KB1. Acts as an essential activator of the NLRP3 inflammasome assembly independently of its kinase activity. Acts by unlocking NLRP3 following NLRP3 tranlocation into the microtubule organizing center (MTOC), relieving NLRP3 autoinhibition and promoting formation of the NLRP3:PYCARD complex, and activation of CASP1. Serves as a cellular switch that enforces mutual exclusivity of the inflammasome response and cell division: interaction with NEK9 prevents interaction with NLRP3 and activation of the inflammasome during mitosis.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with NEK9; interaction takes place during mitosis; it relieves NEK7 autoinhibition and prevents interaction with NLRP3. Interacts with ANKS3; this interaction alters the subcellular distribution of NEK7 by preventing its nuclear translocation. Interacts (via N-terminus) with NLRP3 (via LRR repeat domain); the interaction is required for the formation of the complex NLRP3:PYCARD, oligomerization of PYCARD and activation of CASP1. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus protein US18; this interaction promotes inflammasome assembly.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle pole. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in lung, muscle, testis, brain, heart, liver, leukocyte and spleen. Lower expression in ovary, prostate and kidney. No expression seen in small intestine.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Ser-195 required for its activation.
Activity regulation. Binding to NEK9 stimulates its activity by releasing the autoinhibitory function of Tyr-97.
Domain organisation. Displays an autoinhibited conformation: Tyr-97 side chain points into the active site, interacts with the activation loop, and blocks the alphaC helix. The autoinhibitory conformation is released upon binding with NEK9. The NTE (N-terminal extension) motif is a structural component of the catalytic domain and thus contributes to activity.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. NEK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. NIMA subfamily.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 112 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
