Background Information
CLASP1 and CLASP2 are homologous mammalian proteins, which associate with the ends of growing microtubules. In interphase cells CLASPs can attach microtubule plus ends to the cortex and stabilize them by repeatedly rescuing them from depolymerization. A truncated form of CLASP1 lacking the kinetochore binding domain behaves as a dominant negative, leading to the formation of radial arrays of microtubule bundles that are highly resistant to depolymerization. Microinjection of CLASP1-specific antibodies suppresses microtubule dynamics at kinetochores and throughout the spindle, resulting in the formation of monopolar asters with chromosomes buried in the interior. Therefore, CLASP1 is required at kinetochores for attached microtubules to exhibit normal dynamic behavior.
