Description

Leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 2 (LZTS2, also known as LAPSER1) interacts with p80 katanin and regulates katanin-mediated microtubule severing [PMID: 18490357]. It is localised to the centrosome and the midbody in mitotic cells. During prophase, LAPSER1/LZTS2 inhibits centrosomal gamma-tubulin accumulation, which results in retardation of mitotic entry. During interphase, LAPSER1/LZTS2 inhibits katanin, which results in prevention of cell motility [PMID: 18490357]. LAPSER1/LZTS2 also modulates beta-catenin signaling and localisation [PMID: 17000760].

LAPSER1/LZTS2 has been identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer [PMID: 17351128].
