STYK1/NOK affects cell cycle late mitosis and directly interacts with anaphase-promoting complex activator CDH1.

ABSTRACT: The novel oncogene STYK1/NOK plays critical roles in cancer development. However, its regulation during cell division is less defined. In this paper, we show that over-expression of STYK1/NOK caused mitotic arrest and cytokinesis defects. The protein level of STYK/NOK fluctuated during the cell cycle, with a peak at mitosis and a quick reduction upon mitotic exit. The cell cycle-related expression pattern of STYK1/NOK resembled the one of aurora kinases and polo-like kinase 1. Depletion of APC3 led to accumulation of STYK1/NOK and to the G2/M arrest. Co-immunoprecipitation experiment demonstrated the direct interaction of STYK1/NOK with CDH1. Overexpression of CDH1 shortened the half-life of STYK1/NOK. The kinase domain, but not the five D boxes, of STYK1/NOK was responsible for the intera
