KIP1 (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B) is a kinesin-related motor protein required for mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Many tumorigenic processes modulate cell-cycle progression by regulating the levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor KIP1. KIP1 binds to and inhibits cyclinE-Cdk2 complex, cyclinA-CDK2 and cyclinD1-CDK4. The phosphorylation- and ubiquitination-dependent proteolysis of KIP1 is implicated in control of the G1-S transition in the cell cycle. KIP1 is critical for retinoblastoma protein (Rb)-induced cellular proliferative senescence.

Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, CIN8 and KIP1 (a.k.a. CIN9), were identified by their requirement for normal chromosome segregation. Both genes encode polypeptides related to the heavy chain of the microtubule-based force-generating enzyme kinesin. Cin8p was found to be required for
Degradation of the mammalian cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p27 is required for the cellular transition from quiescence to the proliferative state. The ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of p27 depend on its phosphorylation by cyclin-CDK complexes. However, the ubiquitin-protein ligase necessary
