| UniProt functional annotation for P24339 | |||
| UniProt code: P24339. |
| Organism: | Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843) (Fission yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Taphrinomycotina; Schizosaccharomycetes; Schizosaccharomycetales; Schizosaccharomycetaceae; Schizosaccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Could be a spindle pole body motor. On transition from G2 to M phase of the cell cycle, the spindle pole body duplicates; the daughter pole bodies seed microtubules which interdigitate to form a short spindle that elongates to span the nucleus at metaphase. Mutations at cut7 block spindle formation. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, spindle pole body. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. BimC subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00283}. | |
