High impact information on CTF13

  • Together, the genetic and biochemical data indicate that CTF13 is an essential kinetochore protein [1].
  • CTF13 is an essential gene that encodes a predicted 478 amino acid protein with no homology to known proteins. ctf13 mutants missegregate chromosomes at permissive temperature and transiently arrest at nonpermissive temperature as large-budded cells with a G2 DNA content and a short spindle [1].
  • Finally, data are provided to show that Cbf3c is encoded by CTF13, a gene that had been cloned recently by complementing a temperature sensitive mutant that exhibits chromosome loss as a result of a defective centromere [2].
  • Here, we investigate how the Ctf13p/Skp1p complex becomes competent to form the CBF3-centromere DNA complex [3].
  • Hsp90 enables Ctf13p/Skp1p to nucleate the budding yeast kinetochore [3].
 

Biological context of CTF13

 

Associations of CTF13 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of CTF13

  • Most importantly, loss of UPF1 function causes increased accumulation of wild-type CTF13 mRNA but has no effect on the mRNA half-life [8].
  • As revealed by mass spectrometry, Ctf13p and Skp1p carry two and four phosphate groups, respectively [3].
  • We determined that Ndc10p, Ctf13p, and Cep3p are required for checkpoint activity [9].
