Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) Regulates EG5 to Control Mitotic Progression

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
EG5 (KIF11) is a member of the kinesin-like protein family involved in centrosome separation and bipolar spindle formation. When a cell enters mitosis, CDK1 phosphorylates EG5 at Thr926 and promotes EG5 localization on the mitotic spindle which drives ...

Fbxo30 Regulates Mammopoiesis by Targeting the Bipolar Mitotic Kinesin Eg5

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Fbxo30 is an orphan member of the F-box protein family with no known substrate or function. Here we report that, while Fbxo30−/− mice exhibit normal development, growth, lifespan, and fertility, the females fail to nurture their offspring as a result of ...

Dual pathway spindle assembly increases both the speed and the fidelity of mitosis [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Open, 2011
Summary Roughly half of all animal somatic cell spindles assemble by the classical prophase pathway, in which the centrosomes separate ahead of nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD).

Using a comprehensive approach to investigate the interaction between Kinesin-5/Eg5 and the microtubule

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that play important roles ranging from intracellular transport to cell division. Human Kinesin-5 (Eg5) is essential for mitotic spindle assembly during cell division.

Kinesin-5 Eg5 is essential for spindle assembly, chromosome stability and organogenesis in development

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2022
Chromosome stability relies on bipolar spindle assembly and faithful chromosome segregation during cell division. Kinesin-5 Eg5 is a plus-end-directed kinesin motor protein, which is essential for spindle pole separation and chromosome alignment in ...

Phosphorylation by Cdk1 increases the binding of Eg5 to microtubules in vitro and in Xenopus egg extract spindles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND:Motor proteins from the kinesin-5 subfamily play an essential role in spindle assembly during cell division of most organisms. These motors crosslink and slide microtubules in the spindle.
