Nucleoside diphosphate kinase B (NME2)

The protein contains 152 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 17298 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 (By similarity). Negatively regulates Rho activity by interacting with AKAP13/LBC (PubMed:15249197). Acts as a transcriptional activator of the MYC gene; binds DNA non-specifically (PubMed:8392752, PubMed:19435876). Binds to both single-stranded guanine- and cytosine-rich strands within the nuclease hypersensitive element (NHE) III(1) region of the MYC gene promoter. Does not bind to duplex NHE III(1) (PubMed:19435876). Has G-quadruplex (G4) DNA-binding activity, which is independent of its nucleotide-binding and kinase activity. Binds both folded and unfolded G4 with similar low nanomolar affinities. Stabilizes folded G4s regardless of whether they are prefolded or not (PubMed:25679041). Exhibits histidine protein kinase activity (PubMed:20946858). (updated: Nov. 7, 2018)

CLONING

NM23 is a heterodimeric protein that acts as a nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase. Gilles et al. (1991) identified NME1 (156490) and NME2 as the A and B polypeptide chains of the NM23 enzyme. Each chain consists of 152 amino acids. NME2 is identical to the beta subunit of human erythrocyte NDP kinase. NDP kinases are involved in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates, and the NM23 protein may act in the regulation of signal transduction by complexing with G proteins, causing activation/inactivation of developmental pathways (Gilles et al., 1991). Stahl et al. (1991) identified the NME2 gene, which they referred to as nm23-H2. Its cDNA predicts a 17-kD protein with 88% identity to nm23-H1. The nm23-H1 gene also shares a significant homology with nucleoside diphosphate kinases and the Drosophila developmental gene awd. Northern blot hybridization indicated that the expression of the nm23-H1 gene is reduced to a lesser extent in tumor cells of high metastatic potential than is nm23-H1. Both proteins are independently active nucleoside diphosphate kinases and readily form intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds. Using Northern blot analysis, Masse et al. (2002) detected high expression of mouse Nme2, which they called nm23-M2, in heart, liver, and kidney, with intermediate expression in skeletal muscle. Little to no expression was detected in other mouse tissues examined. In situ hybridization of 15-day postcoitum mouse embryos showed ubiquitous Nme2 expression. By EST database analysis, Valentijn et al. (2006) identified a transcript that starts from the NM23H1 promoter and reads through the neighboring NM23H2 gene. This transcript, which they called NM23LV (NM23 long variant), is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a protein with most of the NM23H1 amino acids and all of the NM23H2 amino acids. See 156490 for further information on the NM23LV read-through transcript.

GENE FUNCTION

Srivastava et al. (2006) demonstrated that the 14 C-terminal amino acids of KCa3.1 (KCNN4; 602754) that mediate the regulation of KCa3.1 by phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) recruit NDPKB to KCa3.1. NDPKB then activates KCa3.1 by phosphorylating residue H358, which is present in the same C-terminal 14-amino acid region. SiRNA treatment of NDPBK in CD4+ T cells resulted in a marked reduction of KCa3.1 channel activity. Srivastava et al. (2006) concluded that histidine phosphorylation regulates KCa3.1 channel activity and that NDPBK is critical to the channel activity and the activation of CD4 T cells. Boissan et al. (2014) found that knockdown of nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) NM23H1/H2 (NME1; 156490/NME2), which produce GTP through ATP-driven conversion of GDP, inhibited dynamin-mediated endocytosis. NM23H1/H2 localized at clathrin-coated pits and interacted with the proline-rich domain of dynamin. In vitro, NM23H1/H2 were recruited to dynamin-induced tubules, stimulated GTP-loading on dynamin, and triggered fission in the presence of ATP and GDP. NM23H4 (NME4; 601818), a mitochondria-specific NDPK, colocalized with mitochondrial dynamin-like OPA1 (605290), which is involved in mitochondria inner membrane fusion, and increased GTP-loading on OPA1. Like OPA1 loss of function, silencing of NM23H4 but not NM23H1/H2 resulted in mitochondrial fragmentation, reflecting fusion defects. Boissan et al. (2014) concluded that NDPKs interact with and provide GTP to dynamins, allowing these motor proteins to work with high t ... More on the omim web site
