Summaries
Gene Group (FlyBase)
GAMMA-TUBULIN RING COMPLEX -
The gamma-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) is a multiprotein complex composed of the γ-tubulin small complex (γ-TuSC) plus additional Grip-motif proteins to form the ring-shaped complex. γ-TuRC localizes to the centrosome and catalyze the microtubule nucleation. (Adapted from FBrf0190946 and FBrf0259816.)
GAMMA-TUBULIN SMALL COMPLEX -
The gamma-tubulin small complex (γ-TuSC) forms the core of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC). It is a heterotetramer composed of two molecules of γ-tubulin associated with two Grip-motif proteins. γ-TuSC acts as a microtubule nucleator. (Adapted from FBrf0191157).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

      RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene results in the formation of an aberrantly long, monopolar spindle when assayed in S2 cells. This phenotype can be observed when the screen is performed with or without Cdc27 dsRNA.

      SL2 cells treated with dsRNA against Grip84 show a clear increase in the mitotic index compared to control cells. The treated cells show bipolar monastral and monopolar anastral spindle organisation with metaphase-like chromosome arrangements.

      The interaction between Grip84 and γ-Tubulin facilitates γ-Tubulin binding to GTP.

      dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

      Identification: Protein identified as part of a γ tubulin ring complex.
