High impact information on klp-17

  • 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].
  • Similarly, the klp-17 RNA interference assay results in embryonic death, arrested embryos, and polyploid cells [3].
