Abstract

Animals Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Proteins Cell Cycle Proteins - metabolism Cilia - pathology Cyclin-Dependent Kinases - metabolism DNA Replication - genetics Humans NIMA-Related Kinases Polycystic Kidney Diseases - pathology Protein Kinases - metabolism Protein-Serine-Threonine Kinases - metabolism S Phase - physiology
In this issue, Choi et al. (2013) discover a molecular link between the Nek8 kinase, mutated in the renal ciliopathy nephronophthisis, and DNA damage control by cyclin A/Cdk2 and ATR-Chk1, providing new ideas for targeted therapies limiting tissue degeneration.
