Protein Domain : Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 IPR009829

Type  Family
Description  Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 (SKA1) is a component of the SKA1 complex (consists of Ska1, Ska2, and Ska3/Rama1), a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation [ ]. It is required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint []. The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerisation-coupled manner. SKA1 contains a microtubule-binding domain that interacts with tubulins using multiple contact sites that allow the Ska complex to bind microtubules in multiple modes [].
