Protein Domain : IPR026242

Type:  Family Name:  HAUS augmin-like complex subunit 2, metazoa
Description:  Assembly of a robust microtubule-based mitotic spindle is essential for accurate segregation of chromosomes to progeny. Spindle assembly relies on the concerted action of centrosomes, spindle microtubules, molecular motors and non-motor spindle proteins []. A number of novel regulators of spindle assembly have been identified: one of these is HAUS, an 8-subunit protein complex that shares similarity with Drosophila Augmin [, ].HAUS augmin-like complex subunit 2 is a component of the HAUS augmin-like complex, which localises to the centrosomes and interacts with the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gamma-TuRC) []. The interaction between augmin and gamm-TuRC is important for spindle microtubule generation and affects the mitotic progression and cytokinesis []. HAUS2 may also increase the tension between spindle and kinetochore allowing for chromosome segregation during mitosis []. The HAUS (Homologous to AUgmin Subunits) individual subunits have been designated HAUS1 to HAUS8 []. The HAUS augmin-like complex subunit 2 was previously known as centrosomal protein of 27 kDa (Cep27). Short Name:  HAUS2_metazoa
