High impact information on klp-16

  • We additionally found that, although the failure of first polar body extrusion observed in alpha-Aurora A-microinjected oocytes is likely mediated by Eg5, the impairment of the metaphase plate rotation does not involve this kinesin-like protein [1].
  • One intriguing hypothesis is that AIR-2 acts to localize the mitotic kinesin-like protein ZEN-4 (also known as CeMKLP1), which later functions in cytokinesis [2].
  • Cytokinesis and midzone microtubule organization in Caenorhabditis elegans require the kinesin-like protein ZEN-4 [3].
  • Conceptual translation of the klp-3 gene reveals a kinesin-like protein with its conserved motor domain containing the ATP binding and microtubule binding sites located in the C terminus [4].
  • Here we report cDNA cloning of klp-15 and klp-16, and the expression pattern of the genes encoding C-terminal motor kinesins including klp-15 and klp-16 [5].
