Abstract

Human NDR kinases are upregulated in some cancer types, yet their functions still remain undefined. Here, we report the first known function of a mammalian NDR kinase by demonstrating that human NDR directly contributes to centrosome duplication. A subpopulation of endogenous NDR localizes to centrosomes in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. Overexpression of NDR resulted in centrosome overduplication in a kinase-activity-dependent manner, while expression of kinase-dead NDR or depletion of NDR by small interfering RNA (siRNA) negatively affected centrosome duplication. By targeting NDR to the centrosome, we show that the centrosomal pool of NDR is sufficient to generate supernumerary centrosomes. Furthermore, our data indicate that NDR-driven centrosome duplication requires Cdk2 activity and that Cdk2-induced centrosome amplification is affected upon reduction of NDR activity. Overall, considering that centrosome overduplication is linked to cellular transformation, our observations may also provide a molecular link between mammalian NDR kinases and cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
