What's a GeneRIF?

The crystal structure exhibits three structural features, i.e. four Ca2+ equally occupied at each EF-hand motif, structural changes accompanying helix motion at the N- and C-lobes, and adoption of N-C type dimerization when Ca2+ binds to EF-hand I and II in the N-lobe.
Title: Crystal Structure of Wild-Type Centrin 1 from Mus musculus Occupied by Ca2.
Experiments utilizing mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) demonstrated the feasibility of real-time imaging, and showed that EGFP-Centrin1 expression mirrored the endogenous centrosome cycle, undergoing precisely one round of duplication through the cell cycle. Moreover, experiments using embryo and adult mouse tissues demonstrated that EGFP-Centrin1 specifically mirrors the localization of endogenous centrosomes.

Immunostaining of seminiferous tubules revealed that cells in layer containing spermatogonia showed colocalization of SUMO-2/3 with centrin-1 in cytoplasmic spots. Binding of centrin-1 and SUMO-2/3 appears to be calcium dependent.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
