MELK (Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase) belongs to the CAMK serine/threonine protein kinase superfamily. Melk is a protein serine/threonine kinase that is maximally active during mitosis. It is involved in diverse functions such as cell cycle, cytokinesis, mRNA splicing and apoptosis. Expression MELK is expressed in cells of various tissue origins. MELK expression is strongly dependant on cell-cycle: MELK is undetectable in cells which have exited cell cycle. The exact function of MELK is currently unknown, however MELK was shown to be involved in cell cycle progression via the protein phosphatase CDC25B phosphorylation, in cytokinesis, in apoptosis via its interaction with the Bcl-2 family of proapoptotic genes and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK1) and in inhibition of mRNA splicing during mitosis via its association with NIPP1. MELK function is required for mammary tumorigenesis in vivo.

JNJ-47117096 hydrochloride

1610536-69-0

A novel, cell-permeable, potent and selective inhibitor of MELK kinase domain with IC50 of 37 nM; shows >50% inhibition at 1 uM against 6 kianses in a panel of 235 kinases (Flt3 IC50=18 nM); triggers a rapid and proteasome-dependent degradation of the MELK protein, induces the accumulation of stalled replication forks and DSBs in MCF-7 cells; induces a strong phosphorylation of p53, a prolonged up-regulation of p21 and a down-regulation of FOXM1 target genes.
