NUAK family SNF1-like kinase 1 also known as AMPK-related protein kinase 5 (ARK5) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NUAK1 gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Function

Acts as a regulator of cellular senescence and cellular ploidy by mediating phosphorylation of 'Ser-464' of LATS1, thereby controlling its stability. Controls cell adhesion by regulating activity of the myosin protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complex.^[8]

Clinical significance

ARK5 is important in tumor malignancy and invasiveness.^[9]

Research findings

ARK5 is often overexpressed in multiple myeloma cell lines.^[10]^[11] ARK5 promotes tumor cell survival under regulation by Akt.^[9]

ARK5 increases MT1-MMP production.^[9] (MT1-MMP activates MMP-2 and MMP-9 which are involved in tumor metastasis.^[9])

As a drug target

ON123300 (a CDK4 inhibitor), also inhibits ARK5 and reduces proliferation of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma cell lines.^[10]

Interactions

NUAK1 has been shown to interact with USP9X ^[12] and Ubiquitin C.^[12]

The proto-oncogene c-Rel is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REL gene. The c-Rel protein is a member of the NF-κB family of transcription factors and contains a Rel homology domain (RHD) at its N-terminus and two C-terminal transactivation domains. c-Rel is a myeloid checkpoint protein that can be targeted for treating cancer. c-Rel has an important role in B-cell survival and proliferation. The REL gene is amplified or mutated in several human B-cell lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
