- Meednu N, Hoops H, D Silva S, Pogorzala L, Wood S, Farkas D, et al. The spindle positioning protein Kar9p interacts with the sumoylation machinery in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genetics. 2008;180:2033-55 pubmed publisher..We propose a model in which sumoylation regulates spindle positioning by restricting Kar9p to one SPB. These findings raise the possibility that sumoylation could regulate other microtubule-dependent processes. ..
- Hibbel A, Bogdanova A, Mahamdeh M, Jannasch A, Storch M, Schäffer E, et al. Kinesin Kip2 enhances microtubule growth in vitro through length-dependent feedback on polymerization and catastrophe. elife. 2015;4: pubmed publisher..Here, we report that the budding yeast kinesin Kip2 is a microtubule polymerase and catastrophe inhibitor in vitro that uses its processive motor activity as part of a ..
- Roberts A, Goodman B, Reck Peterson S. Reconstitution of dynein transport to the microtubule plus end by kinesin. elife. 2014;3:e02641 pubmed publisher..We find that two proteins-homologs of Lis1 and Clip170-are sufficient to couple dynein to Kip2, a plus-end-directed kinesin...
- Cuschieri L, Miller R, Vogel J. Gamma-tubulin is required for proper recruitment and assembly of Kar9-Bim1 complexes in budding yeast. Mol Biol Cell. 2006;17:4420-34 pubmed..We propose that SPBs, via the tail of Tub4, promote the assembly of functional +TIP complexes before their deployment to microtubule +ends. ..
- Nelson S, Cooper J. A novel pathway that coordinates mitotic exit with spindle position. Mol Biol Cell. 2007;18:3440-50 pubmed..Each component of this pathway is required for the spindle position checkpoint to delay mitotic exit until the spindle is positioned correctly. ..
- Markus S, Kalutkiewicz K, Lee W. She1-mediated inhibition of dynein motility along astral microtubules promotes polarized spindle movements. Curr Biol. 2012;22:2221-30 pubmed publisher..She1 has no effect on the motility of either Kip2, a kinesin that utilizes the same microtubule track as dynein, or human kinesin-1, demonstrating the specificity of ..
- Drechsler H, Tan A, Liakopoulos D. Yeast GSK-3 kinase regulates astral microtubule function through phosphorylation of the microtubule-stabilizing kinesin Kip2. J Cell Sci. 2015;128:3910-21 pubmed publisherThe S. cerevisiae kinesin Kip2 stabilises astral microtubules (MTs) and facilitates spindle positioning through transport of MT-associated proteins, such as the yeast CLIP-170 homologue Bik1, dynein and the adenomatous-polyposis-coli-..
