KIF2A Antibody

1. the crystal structure of a catalytically active kinesin-13 monomer (Kif2A) in complex with two bent alphabeta-tubulin heterodimers in a head-to-tail array, providing a view of these interactions, is reported. PMID: 29980677
2. KIF2A expression was increased in human ovarian cancer patients and in tumor tissues and KIF2A mRNA contains two target sites for miR-206 binding and confirmed that miR-206 directly suppresses KIF2A; inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; and induces apoptosis. PMID: 30352438
3. Furthermore, silencing KIF2A inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD) cells. In conclusion, KIF2A may serve as a valuable prognostic indicator and promising therapeutic target of LUAD. PMID: 29427669
4. have identified a conserved WDR5 interaction (Win) motif, so far unique to the Mixed-lineage leukemia family PMID: 28633016
5. The effect of Kif2A Knockdown on spreading could be rescued by expression of Kif2A-GFP or FLAG-AGAP1, but not by Kif2C-GFP. The results support the hypothesis that the Kif2A.AGAP1 complex contributes to control of cytoskeleton remodeling involved in cell movement. PMID: 27531749
6. Study used high-resolution single-molecule microscopy to directly observe the stepping behavior of kinesin-1 and -2 family motors with different length neck-linker domains. Results provide a kinetic framework for explaining kinesin processivity and for mapping structural differences to functional differences in diverse kinesin isoforms. PMID: 28636917
7. these data provide the first evidence that increased KIF2A expression predicts poor prognosis in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and a rationale for treatment of DLBCL by targeting KIF2A. PMID: 28616658
8. The MuvB multiprotein complex, together with B-MYB and FOXM1 (MMB-FOXM1) regulate the expression of mitotic kinesins in breast cancer cells. PMID: 28061449
9. Mdp3 (also known as MAP7D3) forms a complex with DDA3 (also known as PSRC1) and controls spindle dynamics at the minus end of Microtubuless by inhibiting DDA3-mediated Kif2a recruitment to the spindle. PMID: 27284004
10. High KIF2A expression is associated with Gastric Cancer. PMID: 27773961
11. KIF2A may be important in glioma progression. PMID: 26707290
12. This study demonstrated colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue-preferred expression pattern of the KIF2A and suggested that high KIF2A expression might serve as an independent maker for poor prognosis in CRC patients. PMID: 26070867
13. TTBK2 phosphorylates KIF2A and antagonizes KIF2A-induced depolymerization at microtubules plus ends for cell migration. PMID: 26323690
14. Ras regulates KIF2A to control cell migration pathways in transformed human bronchial epithelial cells. PMID: 24240690
15. KIF2A may play an important role in breast cancer progression and is potentially a novel predictive and prognostic marker for breast cancer. PMID: 24950762
16. up-regulation of KIF2C and KIF2A by ERK1/2 caused aberrant lysosomal positioning and mTORC1 activity in a mutant K-Ras-dependent cancer and cancer model. PMID: 25002494
17. Silencing Kif2a induces apoptosis and decreases the mRNA and protein level of PI3K, Akt and Bcell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) in Tca8113 cells. PMID: 24248467
18. The distribution of Kif2A was limited to the distal ends of the central spindle through Aurora B-dependent phosphorylation and exclusion from the spindle midzone. PMID: 23960144
19. The kinesin-2 deficiency weakened intercellular adhesion, despite the maintenance of adherens junctions and other desmosome components at the plasma membrane. PMID: 22184201
20. Data show that 4-oxo-4-HPR inhibited tubulin polymerization and modulated gene expression of spindle aberration associated genes Kif 1C, Kif 2A, Eg5, Tara, tankyrase-1, centractin, and TOGp. PMID: 19996280
21. Kif2a has a role in bipolar spindle assembly along with MCAK PMID: 15302853
22. Spindles in human mitotic cells depleted of the kinesin-13 proteins Kif2a and MCAK lack detectable flux and that such cells frequently fail to segregate all chromosomes appropriately at anaphase. PMID: 16243029
23. KIF2 gene, located at 5q12.1, is a potential schizophrenia susceptibility gene PMID: 16959419
24. kinesin-1, but not kinesin-2, contributes to the specific cytoplasmic distribution of three of the four steps of VV morphogenesis tested. PMID: 17394562
25. These data demonstrate that Kif2b function is required for spindle assembly and chromosome movement and that the microtubule depolymerase activities of Kif2a, Kif2b, and MCAK fulfill distinct functions during mitosis in human cells. PMID: 17538014
26. DDA3 interacts with the MT depolymerase Kif2a in an microtubule-dependent manner and recruits Kif2a to the mitotic spindle and spindle poles. PMID: 18411309
27. Data show that Kif2a is regulated positively by Plk1 and negatively by Aurora A, and suggest that this antagonistic regulation confers differential stability to microtubules in the spindle versus at the pole versus in the cytosol. PMID: 19351716
