ID:MTUS2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Microtubule-associated tumor suppressor candidate 2; AltName: Full=Cardiac zipper protein; AltName: Full=Microtubule plus-end tracking protein TIP150; Short=Tracking protein of 150 kDa; FUNCTION: Binds microtubules. Together with MAPRE1 may target the microtubule depolymerase KIF2C to the plus-end of microtubules. May regulate the dynamics of microtubules at their growing distal tip. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with KIF2C and MAPRE1; the interaction is direct and probably targets MTUS2 and KIF2C to microtubules. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Associated with the microtubule network at the growing distal tip (the plus- end) of microtubules. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in embryonic stem cells differentiating to cardiomyocytes. SIMILARITY: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the MTUS1 family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
