Function

D87898
Arf1
ADP-ribosylation factor 1
2.6
Membrane vesicle formation, inactivation nec. for mitotic Golgi breakdown, chromosome segregation, and cytokinesis [95–97]
BC054097
Cetn3
centrin 3
2.2
spindle cell body duplication need for bipolarity in cytokinesis [98–103]
AF016583
Chek1
checkpoint kinase 1 homolog (S. pombe)
2.3
needed for S and G2 checkpoints after DNA damage; Tax has been shown to disrupt its function [24,25,104–106]
AF098508
Dctn3
dynactin 3
2.4
light-chain subunit of dynactin complex (p24); dynactin complex involved in vesicle movement; dynactin complex interacts with NuMA and dynein in order to tether microtubules at the spindle poles and that are essential for mitotic spindle pole assembly and stabilization; recruitment by ZW10 protein to the kinetichore [107–110]
NM_009503
p97(Vcp)
valosin containing protein
3.0
aka cdc48; needed for spindle disassembly after segregation; Golgi disassembly-assembly [111–113]
BC046832
Ppp1cb
protein phosphatase 1, catalytic subunit, beta isoform
2.5
antagonist of Aurora B kinase during mitosis, i.e. regulating the protein interface between the centromeres and the mitotic spindle; possible downstream targets include kinetochore protein Ndc10, CENP-A, which substitutes for histone H3 in centromeric nucleosomes, and inner centromere protein INCENP; mutation of PP1 or inactivation was shown to result in cytokinesis defects. [114]
NM_008989
Pura
purine rich element binding protein A
2.4
involved in DNA replication and transcription; overexpression results in G2 blockage [115,116]
AJ534939
Smc2l1
SMC2 structural maintenance of chromosomes 2-like 1 (yeast)
2.8
aka CAP-E protein, that is part of the condensin protein complex originally identified in Xenopus; protein complex is needed for chromosome condensation; CAP-E has been found to interact with DNA ligase IV (DNA double-strand break repair protein) possible interaction important for genome stability [117–120]
BC009167
Sugt1
SGT1, suppressor of G2 allele of SKP1 (S. cerevisiae)
2.3
recent study shows that SGT1 is needed for kinetechore assembly [66,76]
AF077002
Ywhah
tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, eta polypeptide
2.0
binds to CDC25B in a phosphorylation independent mechanism [121,122]
BC027100
Zwint-1
ZW10 interactor
2.1
specifies the kinetochore association of ZW10 which may act as part of, or immediately downstream of, the wait anaphase tension-sensing checkpoint [123,124]
