General description
Nuclear distribution protein nudE-like 1 (UniProt: Q9GZM8; also known as Protein Nudel, Mitosin-associated protein 1) is encoded by the NDEL1 (also known as EOPA, MITAP1, NUDEL) gene (Gene ID: 81565) in human. Nudel protein belongs to the nude family and is expressed in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle. Its expression is shown to peak during mitosis. Nudel is undergoes phosphorylation during mitosis. Three isoforms of Nudel have been reported that are produced by alternative splicing. Nudel is required for organization of the cellular microtubule array and microtubule anchoring at the centrosome. It may regulate microtubule organization at least in part by targeting the microtubule severing protein KATNA1 to the centrosome and is shown to positively regulate the activity of the minus-end directed microtubule motor protein dynein. It enhances dynein-mediated microtubule sliding by targeting dynein to the microtubule plus ends and is shown to be essential for several dynein- and microtubule-dependent processes, such as the maintenance of Golgi integrity, the centripetal motion of secretory vesicles and the coupling of the nucleus and centrosome. Nudel is required during brain development for the migration of newly formed neurons from the ventricular/subventricular zone toward the cortical plate and also plays a role in the regulation of neurite outgrowth. It localizes to the cell body of the motor neurons and colocalizes with assembled neurofilaments within axonal processes.
