ID 2.7.11.34 DE NEK6-subfamily protein kinase. CA (1) L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[protein] + ADP + H(+). CA (2) L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[protein] + ADP + CA H(+). CC -!- Requires Mg(2+). CC -!- NEK6 subfamily kinases are present in animals, though lost in CC insects, and include human NEK6 and NEK7 and C. elegans nekl-3. CC -!- They are activated in mitosis by phosphorylation by NEK9, CC and phosphorylate cytoskeletal proteins including EML4, KIF11A and CC KIF14. In C. elegans, nekl-3 is involved in clathrin-mediated CC endocytosis. CC -!- In peptide arrays, NEK6 prefers to phosphorylate Ser residues, with CC hydrophobic residues at -2 and +1 and charged residues at -1, -2 and CC +2.
