CENPF also known as centromere protein F or mitosin is a significant kinetochore-associated protein. It has a molecular mass of approximately 367 kDa. Expressed chiefly in the nucleus CENPF displays elevated levels during cell division particularly mitosis. The protein accumulates at the nuclear matrix during the G2 phase of the cell cycle and moves to the kinetochores in mitosis highlighting its role in cell cycle regulation.
Biological function summary
It plays a role in chromosome segregation and spindle attachment during cell division. CENPF associates with various cellular complexes including the nuclear matrix and kinetochores. Its function is critical to maintaining stability and proper chromosome movement during mitosis. This involvement ensures accurate chromosomal alignment and segregation preventing genomic instability in daughter cells.
Pathways
CENPF plays an essential role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle and chromosomal dynamics. The protein interfaces with several elements in pathways like the spindle assembly checkpoint. It interacts notably with proteins such as CENP-E and other kinetochore constituents. These interactions safeguard the precise attachment of microtubules to the kinetochores facilitating proper cell cycle progression and division.
Alterations in CENPF expression and function have been linked to cancer and congenital heart defects. Dysregulation of CENPF can lead to chromosomal instability a known hallmark of many cancers. Additionally its interactions with proteins like CENP-E and Bub1 further relate to its involvement in the proper execution of cell cycle checkpoints. Such associations make CENPF a potential target for therapeutic interventions in related disorders.
