It's a kar9ochore to capture microtubulesKerry Bloom 1
Kerry Bloom is in the Department of Biology, 623 Fordham Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA. Microtubule orientation to cortical spatial cues is essential for the fidelity of asymmetric cellular processes. A cortical microtubule-capture site, composed of Bim1 and Kar9, has now been identified in yeast. Bim1 is the yeast homologue of EB1, a binding partner of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), indicating that important features of this complex may be highly conserved.
