Cytoskeleton-associated protein 5 is a microtubule-associated protein that in humans is encoded by the CKAP5 gene. [5] [6] [7] It is the homolog of the Xenopus protein XMAP215 [8] and is also known as ch-Tog.
It has at least two distinct roles in spindle formation: it protects kinetochore microtubules from depolymerization by MCAK (KIF2C), and ch-Tog plays an essential role in centrosomal microtubule assembly, a function independent of MCAK activity. [9]
In cell biology, the spindle apparatus is the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells that forms during cell division to separate sister chromatids between daughter cells. It is referred to as the mitotic spindle during mitosis, a process that produces genetically identical daughter cells, or the meiotic spindle during meiosis, a process that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Aurora kinase A also known as serine/threonine-protein kinase 6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AURKA gene.
Aurora kinase B is a protein that functions in the attachment of the mitotic spindle to the centromere.
Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAPRE1 gene.
Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAPRE2 gene.
Disks large-associated protein 5 (DAP-5) also known as discs large homolog 7 (DLG7) or hepatoma up-regulated protein (HURP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLGAP5 gene.
Kinesin-like protein KIF22 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF22 gene.
Kinesin-like protein KIF2C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF2C gene.
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein G is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNRPG gene.
U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LSM7 gene.
Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACC1 gene.
Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACC2 gene.
Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACC3 gene.
Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAPRE3 gene.
Tudor domain-containing protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TDRD7 gene.
Kinesin-like protein KIF2A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF2A gene.
Centrosomal protein of 192 kDa, also known as Cep192, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP192 gene. It is the homolog of the C. elegans and D. melanogaster gene SPD-2.
The XMAP215/Dis1 family is a highly conserved group of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) in eukaryotic organisms. These proteins are unique MAPs because they primarily interact with the growing-end (plus-end) of microtubules. This special property classifies this protein family as plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs).
Sfi1 homolog, spindle assembly associated (yeast) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SFI1 gene. It localizes to the centriole, and its S. pombe ortholog has been shown to be involved in spindle pole body duplication. SFI1 forms a complex with centrin 2.
Microtubule plus-end/positive-end tracking proteins or +TIPs are a type of microtubule associated protein (MAP) which accumulate at the plus ends of microtubules. +TIPs are arranged in diverse groups which are classified based on their structural components; however, all classifications are distinguished by their specific accumulation at the plus end of microtubules and their ability to maintain interactions between themselves and other +TIPs regardless of type. +TIPs can be either membrane bound or cytoplasmic, depending on the type of +TIPs. Most +TIPs track the ends of extending microtubules in a non-autonomous manner.
