Gene Information

General description

Also known as Cep215, CDK5RAP2 is involved in a variety of cellular processes. It serves as a potential regulator of CDK5 activity through its interaction with CDK5R1. It acts as a negative regulator of centriole disengagement, which maintains centriole engagement and cohesion. It is involved in the regulation of mitotic spindle orientation. Additionally, this protein mediates spindle checkpoint activation by serving as a transcriptional regulator of the MAD2 and BUBR1 promoter. In conjuction with MAPRE1, CDK5RAP2 promotes microtubule polymerization, bundle formation, and growth at the plus ends. It also plays a role in DNA damage-induced G2 cell cycle checkpoint. CDK5RAP2 is known to be mutated in primary microcephaly, a neuodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by a decrease in brain size.

Specificity

Other Homologies: Rat (83% sequence homology) and Mouse (82% sequence homology).

Immunogen

MBP-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human CDK5RAP2.

Application

Most animal cells contain a centrosome, which comprises a pair of centrioles surrounded by an ordered pericentriolar matrix (PCM). Although the role of this organelle in organizing the mitotic spindle poles is well established, its precise contribution to cell division

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in vertebrates detect odorants using multiple cilia, which protrude from the end of the dendrite and require centrioles for their formation. In mouse olfactory epithelium, the centrioles originate in progenitor cells near the basal lamina, often

Differentiation induces the formation of noncentrosomal microtubule arrays in diverse tissues. The formation of these arrays requires loss of microtubule-organizing activity (MTOC) at the centrosome, but the mechanisms regulating this transition remain largely unexplored. Here, we use the robust loss

The centrosomal protein, CDK5RAP2, is mutated in primary microcephaly, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by reduced brain size. The Drosophila melanogaster homologue of CDK5RAP2, centrosomin (Cnn), maintains the pericentriolar matrix (PCM) around centrioles during mitosis. In this study, we demonstrate a
