CASC5 (E4A5L) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody#26687,Cell Signaling Technology (CST),26687

Kinetochores are mitotic structures that form on centromeres and attach to mitotic spindle microtubules. Kinetochore attachment to microtubules regulates chromosome segregation and progression through mitosis. Unattached kinetochores signal to the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) machinery, arresting cells in mitosis (1). CASC5, also known as Knl1 or Blinkin, is the largest subunit of the Knl1–Mis12–Ndc80 complex (KMN) network, a structural component of kinetochores required for microtubule binding. CASC5 functions in the formation of kinetochore–microtubule attachments, chromosome segregation, and in activating the SAC. CASC5 has been implicated in human diseases, including leukemia and microcephaly (2). Activation of the SAC is regulated in part by mitotic phosphorylation of CASC5 at several sites, including Ser24, Ser60, Thr943, and Thr1155 (3,4). The sequences surrounding Thr943 and Thr1155 are identical.Foley, E.A. and Kapoor, T.M. (2013)Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol14, 25-37.Ghongane, P. et al. (2014)J Cell Sci127, 3415-23.Nijenhuis, W. et al.
