High impact information on Grip71

  • In higher eukaryotes, it is assumed that microtubule nucleation at the centrosome depends on gamma-TuRCs, but the role of gamma-TuRC components remains undefined.For the first time, we analyzed the function of all four gamma-TuRC-specific subunits in Drosophila melanogaster: Dgrip75, Dgrip128, Dgrip163, and Dgp71WD [1].
  • By performing immunoprecipitations after pair-wise coexpression in Sf9 cells, we show that Dgp71WD directly interacts with the grip motif-containing gammaTuRC subunits, Dgrips84, 91, 128, and 163, suggesting that Dgp71WD may play a scaffolding role in gammaTuRC organization [2].
  • With the exception of gamma-tubulin, Dgp71WD is the only gammaTuRC component identified to date that does not contain the grip motifs, which are signature sequences conserved in gammaTuRC components [2].
