NIN
geneOn this page
Summary
NIN (ninein, HGNC:14906) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q22.1, encoding Ninein (Q8N4C6). Centrosomal protein required in the positioning and anchorage of the microtubule minus-end in epithelial cells.
This gene encodes one of the proteins important for centrosomal function. This protein is important for positioning and anchoring the microtubules minus-ends in epithelial cells. Localization of this protein to the centrosome requires three leucine zippers in the central coiled-coil domain. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been reported.

Function. Centrosomal protein required in the positioning and anchorage of the microtubule minus-end in epithelial cells. May also act as a centrosome maturation factor. May play a role in microtubule nucleation, by recruiting the gamma-tubulin ring complex to the centrosome. Overexpression does not perturb nucleation or elongation of microtubules but suppresses release of microtubules. Required for centriole organization and microtubule anchoring at the mother centriole.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with GSK3B/GSK3-beta via its C-terminal domain. Interacts with C14ORF166, such interaction may prevent its phosphorylation by GSK3B. Interacts with AUNIP (via N-terminus). Identified in a complex with AUNIP and AURKA. Interacts with CCDC120. Interacts (via C-terminus) with CEP250. Interacts with CEP170. Interacts with the gamma-tubulin ring complex component TUBGCP3. Interacts with gamma-tubulin. Interacts with DSP; the interaction facilitates recruitment of NIN to desmosome cell-cell junctions. Lacks interaction with CEP170 and CEP250.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Centriole. Cell junction. Desmosome Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 1 is more expressed than isoform 5.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by AURKA/Aurora kinase A and PKA kinases but not CK2 or AURKB/ Aurora kinase B.
Disease relevance. Seckel syndrome 7 (SCKL7) [MIM:614851] A rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by proportionate dwarfism of prenatal onset associated with low birth weight, growth retardation, severe microcephaly with a bird-headed like appearance, and intellectual disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. There is conflicting information regarding the regions required for centrosomal localization. One study shows that the region 1601-1682 is necessary and sufficient for targeting to the centrosome. Another study shows that a separate region, 1291-1575, is important for centrosomal localization. However, a third study shows that the coiled-coil region (373-1885) is not sufficient for centrosomal localization and instead localizes to cytoplasmic speckles. The observed differences might be due to oligomerization of the longer coiled-coil domain-containing sequence, which would mask the shorter centrosomal targeting sequences. The N-terminal domain is important for targeting to the mother centriole, although it is not sufficient by itself for centrosomal localization.
Miscellaneous. Antibodies against NIN are present in sera from patients with autoimmune diseases that developed autoantibodies against centrosomal proteins.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 126 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.
