Also known as C-NAP1
Summary
CEP250 (centrosomal protein 250, HGNC:1859) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q11.22, encoding Centrosome-associated protein CEP250 (Q9BV73). Plays an important role in centrosome cohesion during interphase.
This gene encodes a core centrosomal protein required for centriole-centriole cohesion during interphase of the cell cycle. The encoded protein dissociates from the centrosomes when parental centrioles separate at the beginning of mitosis. The protein associates with and is phosphorylated by NIMA-related kinase 2, which is also associated with the centrosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Function. Plays an important role in centrosome cohesion during interphase. Recruits CCDC102B to the proximal ends of centrioles. Maintains centrosome cohesion by forming intercentriolar linkages. Accumulates at the proximal end of each centriole, forming supramolecular assemblies with viscous material properties that promote organelle cohesion. May be involved in ciliogenesis.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer and homodimer. Forms a complex in vitro with both NEK2 kinase and the PPP1CC catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). Interacts with CEP135. Interacts with CROCC/rootletin. Interacts with CNTLN. Interacts with NIN (via C-terminus). Interacts with CCDC102B (via N-terminus); the interaction results in recruitment of CCDC102B to the proximal ends of centrioles.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Centriole. Cilium basal body. Cell projection. Cilium. Photoreceptor outer segment. Photoreceptor inner segment.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously and weakly expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Differentially phosphorylated during cell cycle. Phosphorylation may regulate association/dissociation from centrosome. During M phase of mitosis, C-terminal part is phosphorylated by NEK2, suggesting that it may trigger the dissociation from the mitotic centrosome. Dephosphorylated in vitro by the PP1 phosphatase.
Disease relevance. Cone-rod dystrophy and hearing loss 2 (CRDHL2) [MIM:618358] An autosomal recessive disease defined by the association of progressive cone-rod dystrophy with sensorineural hearing loss. Cone-rod dystrophy is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa, due to cone photoreceptors degenerating at a higher rate than rod photoreceptors. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Antibodies against CEP2 are present in sera from patients with autoimmune diseases that developed autoantibodies against centrosomal proteins.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 85 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.
