Identification of interphase functions for the NIMA kinase involving microtubules and the ESCRT pathway.
The Never in Mitosis A (NIMA) Home kinase (the founding member of the Nek family of kinases) has been considered a mitotic specific kinase with nuclear restricted roles in the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans.By extending to A.nidulans the results of a synthetic lethal screen performed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the NIMA ortholog KIN3, we i
