    text
  • centrosomal protein CEP120 is asymmetrically localized to the daughter centriole through its interaction with KIAA0586
  • increased gradually from early S to G2/M and decreased significantly after mitosis
  • localizes preferentially to the daughter centriole in cycling cells, and this asymmetry between mother and daughter centrioles is relieved coincident with new centriole assembly
  • basic FUNCTION
  • fonctioning in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome
  • is required for centriole duplication (Hutchins 2010)
  • involved in the process that regulate centrosome-mediated interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) of neural progenitors and for proper positioning of neurons during brain development
  • is required for centriole assembly and that the observed defect in neuronal migration might derive from a defect in this process
  • also involved in the migration and self-renewal of neural progenitors
  • shared function for CENPJ, CEP120, SPICE1 in centriole length control
  • is a cell cycle-regulated protein that directly interacts with CENPJ and is required for centriole duplication
  • is a CENPJ-interacting protein that positively regulates centriole elongation

    protein
  • interacting with CCDC52 (Hutchins 2010)
  • interacting with TACC2, TACC3
  • CEP120 and SPICE1 are required to localize CEP135 to procentrioles
  • CEP120 and SPICE1 cooperate with CENPJ in centriole elongation
  • CEP120 recruits KIAA0753 to centrioles, and loss of this interaction induces accumulation of granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) in the germinal zone and impairs neuronal differentiation
