Overview of Gene Research
NME5, a member of the NME/NM23 family of nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPK), encodes a protein associated with ciliary function. It may also play roles in DNA proofreading and repair due to its 3'-5' exonuclease activity, and is involved in the regulation of gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells through the NF-κB pathway [2,4,5].
In Alaskan Malamutes, a frameshift variant (c.43delA) in NME5 causes primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), with affected dogs showing chronic respiratory infections and fertility problems. Nme5 -/- knockout mice exhibit doming of the skull, hydrocephalus, and sperm flagellar defects. In humans, a homozygous nonsense variant (c.572G>A; p.Trp191*) in NME5 was identified in a PCD patient with situs solitus, and morpholino knockdown of nme5 in zebrafish embryos led to motile cilia defects [1,3].
In conclusion, NME5 is crucial for ciliary function, and its disruption can lead to PCD in both animals and humans. Gene knockout models, such as Nme5 -/- knockout mice, have been instrumental in revealing its role in PCD-associated phenotypes. Understanding NME5's function may provide insights into the pathogenesis of PCD and potentially other related diseases [1,3].
