Gene Summary
Spc105-related (Spc105R) encodes an essential component of the kinetochore, to which it is recruited by binding to the Mis12 kinetochore complex. The products of Spc105R and Mis12 recruit the Ndc80 complex, which provides the major microtubule binding activity of the kinetochore. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

    KNL1 SUBUNIT -
    In many other organisms, the kinetochore Knl1 complex is a heterodimer of KNL1/Spc105 and ZWINT. In Drosophila, only the KNL1/Spc105 subunit is present. (Adapted from FBrf0231098.)

    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 chromosome misalignment on the metaphase spindle when assayed in S2 cells. This phenotype can be observed when the screen is performed with or without Cdc27 dsRNA.

            RNAi generated by PCR using primers directed to this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.
