| | CIN2 | Tubulin-specific chaperone C; GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Cin4p; tubulin folding factor C involved in beta-tubulin (Tub2p) folding; mutants display increased chromosome loss and benomyl sensitivity; human homolog RP2 complements yeast null mutant. (268 aa) |
| | VIK1 | Spindle pole body-associated protein VIK1; Protein that forms a kinesin-14 heterodimeric motor with Kar3p; localizes Kar3p at mitotic spindle poles; has a structure similar to a kinesin motor domain but lacks an ATP-binding site and is catalytically inactive; binds microtubules; required for sister chromatid cohesion; VIK1 has a paralog, CIK1, that arose from the whole genome duplication. (647 aa) |
| | BBP1 | Protein required for the spindle pole body (SPB) duplication; localizes at the cytoplasmic side of the central plaque periphery of the SPB; forms a complex with a nuclear envelope protein Mps2p and SPB components Spc29p and Kar1p; required for mitotic functions of Cdc5p; Belongs to the BBP1 family. (385 aa) |
| | KAR9 | Karyogamy protein KAR9; Spindle positioning factor; orients astral microtubules, connecting them to actin cables at the cortex with Bim1p and Myo2, resulting in proper spindle positioning; targeted for StuBL-dependent degradation at kinetochores by Slx5p-Slx8p, ensuring chromosome transmission fidelity and correct spindle positioning; role in karyogamy; localizes to the shmoo tip, the growing bud-tip, the nucleus, the kinetochore, the spindle and microtubules; homolog of adenomatous polyposis coli. (644 aa) |
| | MCM16 | Inner kinetochore subunit MCM16; Component of the Ctf19 complex and the COMA subcomplex; involved in kinetochore-microtubule mediated chromosome segregation; binds to centromere DNA; orthologous to human centromere constitutive-associated network (CCAN) subunit CENP-H and fission yeast fta3. (181 aa) |
| | KAR3 | Kinesin-like protein KAR3; Minus-end-directed microtubule motor; functions in mitosis and meiosis, localizes to the spindle pole body and localization is dependent on functional Cik1p, required for nuclear fusion during mating; potential Cdc28p substrate. (729 aa) |
