    text
  • in cells, MAPRE2 and CSN (COP9 signalosome) co-localize to the centrosome
  • microtubule-associated protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • promoting cytoplasmic microtubule dynamics and contributing to the control of cytokinesis checkpoint during mitosis
  • playing a role in the proliferative control of normal cells
  • master regulator of microtubule plus ends, controls microtubule growth and dynamics
  • COP9 signalosome (CSN)-dependent protection of MAPRE2 is important for microtubule function
  • is critical for microtubule reorganization during early stages of apico-basal epithelial differentiation
  • MAPRE2 and CLIP1 are two well-studied microtubule plus-end-tracking proteins (+TIPs) that target growing microtubule plus ends in the form of comet tails and regulate microtubule dynamics
  • MAPRE2 and CLIP1 cooperatively regulate microtubule dynamic instability at concentrations below which neither protein is effective

    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to CLIP1, and forms a co-complex with CLIP1 and tubulin that is recruited to growing microtubule plus ends
  • MAPRE2 binding is not limited to the microtubule (MT) seam, and potentially MAPRE2 binds cooperatively to MTs
  • MAPRE2 association with HAX1 plays a significant role in focal adhesion turnover and epidermal migration
