Protein
Kinesin-like protein tea2
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Promotes microtubule growth, possibly through interactions with the microtubule end, and is important for establishing and maintaining polarized growth along the long axis of the cell. Acts as a kinesin motor protein that moves along microtubules and is required for proper localization of tea1 and tip1 to the cell tips and microtubules, respectively. ATPase activity stimulated via interaction with mal3.
Similarity
Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family.
