Short Name | MZT1 |
description | MOZART1 or Mzt1 is a component of the gamma-tubulin complex and is required for its recruitment to the microtubule organizing centre in humans and yeast [, , ]. This function is conserved in plant homologues, known as gamma-tubulin complex protein 3 (GCP3)-interacting proteins (GIPs) [, ]. Studies in plant homologues GIP1 and GIP2 indicate that they play a major role in nuclear envelope shaping in both cycling and differentiated cells []and that they are essential for centromere architecture [, ]. |
