Description | This family consists of several eukaryotic kinesin-associated (KAP) proteins. Kinesins are intracellular multimeric transport motor proteins that move cellular cargo on microtubule tracks. It has been shown that the sea urchin KRP85/95 holoenzyme associates with a KAP115 non-motor protein, forming a heterotrimeric complex in vitro, called the Kinesin-II [1]. It includes kinesin-associated protein 3 (KAP3, also known as SMAP). In human and mouse, KAP3 is involved in tethering the chromosomes to the spindle pole and in chromosome movement. It binds to the tail domain of the KIF3A/KIF3B heterodimer to form a heterotrimeric KIF3 complex and may regulate the membrane binding of this complex [2,3]. |
