Protein Domain : MT-associated protein TORTIFOLIA1/SPIRAL2-like IPR033337

Type	Family
Description	This entry includes a group of plant microtubule-associated proteins, including TORTIFOLIA1/SPIRAL2 and SPIRAL2-like (SP2L) from Arabidopsis. They regulate the orientation of cortical microtubules and the direction of organ growth [ ].TORTIFOLIA1-like protein 1 (also known as SPIRAL2) is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that regulates the orientation of cortical microtubules and the direction of organ growth [ ] and may regulate katanin-based microtubule (MT) severing []. During virus infection, it may stabilize MT crossovers to support the formation and intercellular spread of the viral RNA complexes []. This family also includes SINE1/2 from Arabidopsis, which play a role in nucleus positioning in guard cells [ ].
Short Name	TORTIFOLIA1/SPIRAL2-like
