High impact information on Cp190

  • Rm62 interacts physically with the DNA-binding insulator protein CP190 in an RNA-dependent manner [1].
  • The centrosome associated protein CP190 is partially lost from the spindle poles in dd4 cells supporting a weak interaction with gamma-tubulin, and the displaced protein accumulates in the vicinity of chromosomes [2].
  • The function of the centrosome is not affected in CP190 mutants whereas gypsy insulator activity is impaired [3].
  • CP190 associates physically with both Su(Hw) and Mod(mdg4)2.2 and colocalizes with both proteins on polytene chromosomes [3].
  • A genetic screen for dominant enhancers of the mod(mdg4) phenotype identified the Centrosomal Protein 190 (CP190) as an essential constituent of the gypsy insulator [3].

Anatomical context of Cp190

 

Associations of Cp190 with chemical compounds

  • To characterize the regions of CP190 responsible for its dynamic behavior, we injected rhodamine-labeled fusion proteins spanning most of CP190 into early Drosophila embryos, where their localizations were characterized using time-lapse fluorescence confocal microscopy [5].
  • Centrosomal localization of the CP190 antigen was prevented by incubation of the permeabilized zygote in 20 mM EDTA [11].
  • The analysis of chilled and nocodazole-treated embryos suggests that the localization of the midzone Bx63 antigen is dependent on non-kinetochore microtubules [12].
 

Other interactions of Cp190

  • In a previous study, we used affinity chromatography to identify proteins that interact with DMAP190, and identified a 60-kDa protein that we named DMAP60 (Kellogg and Alberts, 1992) [4].
  • The CP60 and CP190 can be removed from this extract without effect, whereas removing the gamma-tubulin destroys the complementing activity [13].
  • Thus, CP190 has distinct nuclear and centrosomal functions, and it provides a crucial link between the centrosome/MT and actin/myosin cytoskeletal systems in early embryos [7].
