Abstract excerpt
Never-in-mitosis A-related kinase 1 (Nek1) has established roles in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. We show that human Nek1 regulates homologous recombination (HR) by phosphorylating Rad54 at Ser572 in late G2 phase. Nek1 deficiency as well as expression of unphosphorylatable Rad54 (Rad54-S572A) cause unresolved Rad51 foci and confer a defect in HR. Phospho-mimic Rad54 (Rad54-S572E), in contrast, promotes HR...
