Plays a role in microtubule organization and/or maintenance for the formation of primary cilia (PC), a microtubule-based structure that protrudes from the surface of epithelial cells. Plays a critical role in G2/M checkpoint and nuclear divisions. A key player in the DNA damage-activated ATR/ATM signaling cascade since it is required for the proper phosphorylation of H2AX, RPA, CHEK2 and CHEK1. Plays a critical role in chromosome segregation, acting as a mediator required for the maintenance of genomic stability through modulation of MDC1, RPA and CHEK1.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole . Nucleus. Localizes specifically to very distally located appendage structures on the mature centriole from which initiate PC formation (PubMed:26337392). Persisted at centrioles throughout mitosis. Expressed in chromatin-enriched nuclear fraction of HeLa cells. In response to DNA damage, it translocates to nuclear foci that contain the DNA damage response proteins KAT5/TIP60 and CHEK1. .
Expressed in several cell lines.
