kat80 | Katanin p80 WD40 repeat-containing subunit B1; Participates in a complex which severs microtubules in an ATP-dependent manner. May act to target the enzymatic subunit of this complex to sites of action such as the centrosome. Microtubule severing may promote rapid reorganization of cellular microtubule arrays and the release of microtubules from the centrosome following nucleation. (819 aa) | ||||
Nedd8 | NEDD8; Ubiquitin-like protein which plays an important role in cell cycle control, embryogenesis and neurogenesis. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex Uba3-Ula1 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UbcE2M. Attachment of Nedd8 to cullins activates their associated E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and thus promotes polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of cyclins and other regulatory proteins. (84 aa) | ||||
Vps4 | Vacuolar protein sorting 4 (Vps4) encodes an AAA family ATPase. It catalyzes the ATP-dependent dissociation of class E VPS proteins from endosomal membranes. It functions in endosomal sorting of cargo into the multivesicular body for lysosomal degradation, abscission during cell division, virus release and nuclear envelope membrane sealing after cell division. (442 aa) | ||||
betaTub56D | Tubulin beta chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. Belongs to the tubulin family. (456 aa) | ||||
spas | Spastin; ATP-dependent microtubule severing protein. Stimulates microtubule minus-end depolymerization and poleward microtubule flux in the mitotic spindle. Regulates microtubule stability in the neuromuscular junction synapse. Involved in lipid metabolism by regulating the size and distribution of lipid droplets. Involved in axon regeneration by regulating microtubule severing. Belongs to the AAA ATPase family. Spastin subfamily. (758 aa) |
