LIS1, CLIP-170's key to the dynein/dynactin pathway.
CLIP-170 is a plus-end tracking protein which may act as an anticatastrophe factor. It has been proposed to mediate the association of dynein/dynactin to microtubule (MT) plus ends, and it also binds to kinetochores in a dynein/dynactin-dependent fashion, both via its C-terminal domain. This domain contains two zinc finger motifs (proximal and distal), which are hypothesized to mediate protein-...
متن کاملNudC-like protein 2 regulates the LIS1/dynein pathway by stabilizing LIS1 with Hsp90.
The type I lissencephaly gene product LIS1, a key regulator of cytoplasmic dynein, is critical for cell proliferation, survival, and neuronal migration. However, little is known about the regulation of LIS1. Here, we identify a previously uncharacterized mammalian homolog of Aspergillus NudC, NudCL2 (NudC-like protein 2), as a regulator of LIS1. NudCL2 is localized to the centrosome in interpha...
متن کاملRole of dynein, dynactin, and CLIP-170 interactions in LIS1 kinetochore function
Mutations in the human LIS1 gene cause type I lissencephaly, a severe brain developmental disease involving gross disorganization of cortical neurons. In lower eukaryotes, LIS1 participates in cytoplasmic dynein-mediated nuclear migration. We previously reported that mammalian LIS1 functions in cell division and coimmunoprecipitates with cytoplasmic dynein and dynactin. We also localized LIS1 t...
متن کاملDynein, Lis1 and CLIP-170 counteract Eg5-dependent centrosome separation during bipolar spindle assembly.
Bipolar spindle assembly critically depends on the microtubule plus-end-directed motor Eg5 that binds antiparallel microtubules and slides them in opposite directions. As such, Eg5 can produce the necessary outward force within the spindle that drives centrosome separation and inhibition of this antiparallel sliding activity results in the formation of monopolar spindles. Here, we show that upo...
متن کاملLIS1 Clamps Dynein to the Microtubule
Cytoplasmic dynein is a motor essential for numerous mechanical processes in eukaryotic cells. How its activity is regulated is largely unknown. By using a combination of approaches including single-molecule biophysics and electron microscopy, Huang et al. in this issue uncover the regulatory mechanism by which LIS1 controls the activity of cytoplasmic dynein.
