NEK7 (NIMA-related kinase 7) is a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the NEK family. It plays a crucial and specific role in regulating cell cycle progression, particularly in mitotic entry and spindle assembly. Structurally distinct from other NEK kinases, NEK7 contains an N-terminal catalytic kinase domain and a C-terminal regulatory domain. Its activity is tightly controlled by cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation and its interaction with NEK9. The NEK9/NEK6/NEK7 cascade is a key pathway for mitotic centrosome separation and spindle formation.
A landmark function of NEK7 is its essential role in activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, a critical component of the innate immune system. NEK7 directly interacts with NLRP3 downstream of various danger signals (e.g., ATP, crystalline substances, and pathogens). This interaction is required for NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and the subsequent activation of caspase-1, leading to the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 and triggering pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory cell death. This discovery bridges cell cycle regulation with innate immunity. Dysregulation of NEK7 is implicated in auto-inflammatory diseases (e.g., cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes) and gout, and is a potential target for treating NLRP3-related disorders. In cancer, aberrant NEK7 expression is linked to genomic instability and tumorigenesis due to its role in mitosis.
