mago | Protein mago nashi; Core component of the splicing-dependent multiprotein exon junction complex (EJC) deposited at splice junctions on mRNAs. Involved in exon definition of genes containing long introns, including the rolled/MAPK gene. The mago-tsu heterodimer interacts with the EJC key regulator Pym leading to EJC disassembly in the cytoplasm. Has a role in oskar mRNA localization to the posterior pole of the developing oocyte, and may also be involved in polarization of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton. (147 aa) | ||||
Zwilch | Protein zwilch; Essential component of the mitotic checkpoint, which prevents cells from prematurely exiting mitosis. Required for the assembly of the dynein-dynactin, Mad2 complexes and spindly/CG15415 onto kinetochores. Its function related to the spindle assembly machinery is proposed to depend on its association in the RZZ complex. Failure to assemble the complex due to the absence of any one of its components, results in the incorrect redistribution of the remaining components to diverse membrane compartments ; Belongs to the ZWILCH family.
