High impact information on RCC2

  • Colocalization of TD-60 and INCENP throughout G2 and mitosis: evidence for their possible interaction in signalling cytokinesis [1].
  • By image overlay and pixel count analysis we show that TD-60 and INCENP are distinct among known chromosome passenger proteins in extending beyond the spindle to the cortex [1].
  • Double staining experiments reveal that alpha-tubulin, TD-60 protein, and talin co-localize in the midbodies [2].
  • We introduced the rice chitinase (Cht-2; RCC2) gene into calli of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), with a hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) gene as a selectable marker, by particle bombardment [3].
  • Using siRNA, we further demonstrate that the absence of TD-60 substantially suppresses overall spindle assembly, blocks cells in prometaphase, and activates the spindle assembly checkpoint [4].
 

Biological context of RCC2

 

Associations of RCC2 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of RCC2

  • We have purified and cloned the human passenger protein TD-60, and we here report that it is a member of the RCC1 family and that it binds preferentially the nucleotide-free form of the small G protein Rac1 [4].
  • The latter is consistent with a TD-60 requirement for recruitment of the passenger proteins survivin and Aurora B, and suggests that like other passenger proteins, TD-60 is involved in regulation of cell cleavage [4].
  • During metaphase, talin is located in the centromeric region of the chromosome, like the TD-60 protein and intrinsic centromere components detected by a CREST serum [2].
