PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • two CDK phosphorylation motifs (phosphorylation is possibly important to mitotic suppression of bundling)
  • N-terminal region rich in alpha-helical sequence, is important for localization to the cleavage furrow and to the center of the midbody
  • conjugated PhosphoP

    basic FUNCTION
  • microtubule-associated protein required to maintain the spindle midzone
  • crucial role in midzone formation, indicating that cell cycle-dependent translocation of PRC1 by KIF4A is essential for midzone formation and cytokinesis
  • essential factor in controlling the spatiotemporal formation of the midzone in human cells
  • functional involvement of PRC1 during the meiotic prophase of male germ cells and regulatory role of SCMH1 for PRC1, which involves sex chromosomes
  • recruiting CLASP1 to the central spindle at early anaphase onset, to organize central spindle plasticity in mitosis
  • by combining structural flexibility and rigidity, tune microtubule associations to establish crosslinks that selectively "mark" antiparallel overlap in dynamic cytoskeletal networks
  • even in the absence of spindle bipolarity, PRC1 appears to be essential for polarizing parallel microtubules and concentrating the factors responsible for contractile ring assembly, whereas KIF4A is required for limiting the length of anaphase microtubules
  • having a central role in the regulation of heritable gene silencing during differentiation and development
  • plays a key role in organizing the midzone complex
  • PRC1 and KIF4A, two microtubule-associated proteins required for midzone assembly, can tag microtubule plus ends
  • anaphase central spindle formation is controlled by the microtubule-stabilizing factor PRC1 and the kinesin KIF4A

    a component
  • MPHOSPH1/PRC1 complex is likely to play a crucial role in bladder carcinogenesis
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction between endogenous PRC1 and the previously uncharacterized kinesin KIF14 as well as other mitotic kinesins (MKlp1/CHO1, MKlp2, and KIF4A)
  • interaction between MPHOSPH1 and protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1)
  • interacting with CLASP1
  • regulated by PLK1, rather than CDK1 as previously proposed, because its activity must be spatiotemporally regulated both preanaphase and postanaphase, and CDK1 activity is too binary for this purpose
  • KIF4A phosphorylation by Aurora B stimulates the maximal microtubule-dependent ATPase activity of KIF4A and promotes its interaction with PRC1
  • TRIM28 and PRC1 bound cooperatively at the promoters of differentiation-inducible genes and repressed their transcription
  • MED12 operates together with PRC1 to silence key developmental genes in pluripotency
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    inhibited by PLK1 that negatively regulates PRC1 through phosphorylation of a single site, Thr-602, near the C-terminus of PRC1
