Summary
NUCKS1 (nuclear casein kinase and cyclin dependent kinase substrate 1, HGNC:29923) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q32.1, encoding Nuclear ubiquitous casein and cyclin-dependent kinase substrate 1 (Q9H1E3). Chromatin-associated protein involved in DNA repair by promoting homologous recombination (HR).
This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is highly conserved in vertebrates. The conserved regions of the protein contain several consensus phosphorylation sites for casein kinase II and cyclin-dependent kinases, two putative nuclear localization signals, and a basic DNA-binding domain. It is phosphorylated in vivo by Cdk1 during mitosis of the cell cycle.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 35 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.
