    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • nine TPR domains
  • nine tetratricopeptide repeat motifs (TPRs) that form scaffolds to mediate protein-protein interactions and are often involved in the assembly of multiprotein complexes
  • an ATP/GTP-binding site
  • multiple putative phosphorylation sites (Neesse 2007)
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Spag1
    ortholog to D. rerio spag1

    text
  • membrane of the germ cells
  • colocalization of SPAG1 with microtubules
  • basic FUNCTION
  • regulating GTP signal transduction pathway involved inspermatogenesis and fertilization
  • could contribute to the early spread and poor prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  • potential role of SPAG1 in cancer cell motility
  • probably plays a role in the cytoplasmic assembly and/or trafficking of the axonemal dynein arms
  • probably not an integral axonemal protein but plays a role in the cytoplasmic assembly of the ciliary dynein arms
