The microtubule-binding protein Cep170 promotes the targeting of the kinesin-13 depolymerase Kif2b to the mitotic spindle

The N-terminus of the kinesin-13 family (Kif2a, Kif2b, Kif2c) is the primary localization determinant. However, the C-terminus of Kif2b associates with Cep170 and Cep170R to create targeting specificity. Cep170 has microtubule-binding properties in vitro and provides a second microtubule-binding sit...
