Summary
CEP152 (centrosomal protein 152, HGNC:29298) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q21.1, encoding Centrosomal protein of 152 kDa (O94986). Necessary for centrosome duplication; the function also seems to involve CEP63, CDK5RAP2 and WDR62 through a stepwise assembled complex at the centrosome that recruits CDK2 required for centriole duplication. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 16.7% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that is thought to be involved with centrosome function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary microcephaly (MCPH4). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Necessary for centrosome duplication; the function also seems to involve CEP63, CDK5RAP2 and WDR62 through a stepwise assembled complex at the centrosome that recruits CDK2 required for centriole duplication. Acts as a molecular scaffold facilitating the interaction of PLK4 and CPAP, 2 molecules involved in centriole formation. Proposed to snatch PLK4 away from PLK4:CEP92 complexes in early G1 daughter centriole and to reposition PLK4 at the outer boundary of a newly forming CEP152 ring structure. Also plays a key role in deuterosome-mediated centriole amplification in multiciliated that can generate more than 100 centrioles. Overexpression of CEP152 can drive amplification of centrioles.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via N-terminus) with PLK4; the interaction is mutally exclusive with a PLK4:CEP192 interaction. Interacts (via C-terminus) with CPAP (via-N-terminus). Interacts with CINP. Interacts with CDK5RAP2, WDR62, CEP63 and CEP131. CEP63, CDK5RAP2, CEP152, WDR62 are proposed to form a stepwise assembled complex at the centrosome forming a ring near parental centrioles. Interacts with DEUP1; this interaction recruits CEP152 to the deuterosome. The interactions with CEP63 and DEUP1 are mutually exclusive. Interacts with CCDC66.

Disease relevance. Microcephaly 9, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH9) [MIM:614852] A disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. Despite this marked reduction in size, the gyral pattern is relatively well preserved, with no major abnormality in cortical architecture. Affected individuals have intellectual disability. Primary microcephaly is further defined by the absence of other syndromic features or significant neurological deficits due to degenerative brain disorder. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Seckel syndrome 5 (SCKL5) [MIM:613823] A rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by proportionate dwarfism of prenatal onset associated with low birth weight, growth retardation, severe microcephaly with a bird-headed like appearance, and intellectual disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the CEP152 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 80 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
