摘要: A novel gene, EFHC1, mutated in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) encodes a protein with three DM10 domains of unknown function and one putative EF-hand motif. To study the properties we expressed EGFP-tagged various cell lines. In interphase cells, fusion was present cytoplasm nucleus specific accumulation at centrosome. During mitosis EGFP-EFHC1 colocalized mitotic spindle, especially spindle poles midbody during cytokinesis. Using antibody, demonstrated same distribution endogenous protein. Deletion analyses revealed that N-terminal region EFHC1 is crucial for association midbody. Our results suggest could play an important role division.
