Nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (NME1)

The protein contains 152 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 17149 Da.

 

Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. The ATP gamma phosphate is transferred to the NDP beta phosphate via a ping-pong mechanism, using a phosphorylated active-site intermediate. Possesses nucleoside-diphosphate kinase, serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, geranyl and farnesyl pyrophosphate kinase, histidine protein kinase and 3'-5' exonuclease activities. Involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and development, signal transduction, G protein-coupled receptor endocytosis, and gene expression. Required for neural development including neural patterning and cell fate determination. During GZMA-mediated cell death, works in concert with TREX1. NME1 nicks one strand of DNA and TREX1 removes bases from the free 3' end to enhance DNA damage and prevent DNA end reannealing and rapid repair. (updated: April 1, 2015)

CLONING

Steeg et al. (1988) gave the name NM23 to a gene they cloned from a murine melanoma cell line. Expression of the gene correlated inversely with metastatic potential. NM23 RNA levels are highest in cell lines with low metastatic potential. RNA levels did not correlate with cell sensitivity to host immune responses. The authors therefore hypothesized that expression of this gene may be associated with intrinsic aggressiveness of the line. Several observations suggested that NM23 activity may be correlated with inhibition of the tumor metastatic process. Bevilacqua et al. (1989) concluded that NM23 RNA levels are differentially expressed in human breast tumors and that low NM23 RNA levels are associated with histopathologic indications of high metastatic potential. The product of the NM23 gene is a nucleoside diphosphate kinase, which has been designated p19/nm23. Keim et al. (1992) presented evidence that the expression of the gene is related to cell proliferative activity. Rosengard et al. (1989) found that the human NM23 protein has sequence homology over the entire translated region with a developmentally related protein in Drosophila encoded by the 'abnormal wing discs' (awd) gene. Mutations in awd cause abnormal tissue morphology and necrosis and widespread aberrant differentiation in Drosophila, analogous to the changes in malignant progression. Postel et al. (1993) reported evidence suggesting that the protein encoded by 1 of the 2 closely related NM23 genes (see NME2; 156491) may be a transcription factor. The gene that may be turned on is the MYC oncogene (190080). Although a dozen DNA binding proteins had been identified for the MYC gene, only one, called PuF (for purine-binding factor, because the DNA sequence it recognizes has a high content of purine bases), was known to regulate MYC transcription in vitro. PuF was identified by Postel and her colleagues (Postel et al., 1989; Postel, 1992) as a partially purified HeLa cell (human cervical carcinoma) factor that binds to a nuclease-hypersensitive element (NHE) at positions -142 to -115 of the human MYC P1 promoter and is necessary for efficient P1 and P2 transcription initiation in vitro. Postel et al. (1993) identified the human gene encoding PuF by screening a cervical carcinoma cell cDNA library with a DNA fragment containing PuF binding sites. DNA sequence analysis of recombinant PuF demonstrated perfect identity with the NM23 gene. Although no clear correlation has yet been established between overexpression of MYC and tumor metastasis, the inverse relation between MYC expression and cell differentiation is well documented. Furthermore, Okabe-Kado et al. (1992) identified a differentiation inhibiting factor in the mouse myeloid leukemia cells as a murine homolog of NM23. Findings leave the conundrum of how NM23 can be both a tumor suppressor and an activator of MYC. Gilles et al. (1991) showed that nucleoside diphosphate kinases A and B are identical to NM23-H1 and NM23-H2, respectively. The genes NME1 and NME2 encode 2 polypeptide chains that are responsible for heterogeneity of the hexameric enzyme. Using Northern blot analysis of several mouse tissues, Masse et al. (2002) found that mouse Nme1, which they called nm23-M1, was expressed as 2 transcripts due to the use of 2 alternate polyadenylation signals. Expression was highest in the central nervous system, liver, and kidney. In situ hybridization of 15-day postcoitum mouse embryos showed Nme1 expre ... More on the omim web site
