Protein
Tip elongation aberrant protein 1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Cell polarity protein. Acts as an end marker, directing the growth machinery to the cell poles. Involved in the regulation of microtubular organization, affecting the maintenance of a single central axis. Prevents the curling of microtubule tips around the cell ends and is required for the retention of polarity factors such as pom1, tip1 and tea2 at the cell ends, necessary for the cell to grow in a straight line. Links tip1 and tea4 in a common complex.
