    basic FUNCTION
  • MLF1IP and CENPQ are mutually required to localize to interphase and mitotic centromeres
  • phosphoregulation of CENPQ plays a central function in coordinating chromosome congression mechanisms (
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) component
  • MLF1IP forms a binary complex with CENPQ, to promote their mutual stability and subcellular localization to interphase and mitotic centromeres
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • MLF1IP directly interacts with CENPQ, and this interaction was mutually required not only for their stability but also for their centromere localization
  • targets PLK1 to kinetochores and is also required for the recruitment of CENPE to kinetochores
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Phosphorylated by MLF1IP-bound PLK1 phosphorylates CENPQ
