Summary
SKA2 (spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 2, HGNC:28006) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q23.2, encoding Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 2 (Q8WVK7). Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 74.5% of cell lines).
Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in attachment of mitotic spindle microtubules to kinetochore and regulation of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization. Located in kinetochore and spindle microtubule. Part of SKA complex.

Function. Component of the SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. Required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint. The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. The complex facilitates the processive movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerization-coupled manner. In the complex, it is required for SKA1 localization. Affinity for microtubules is synergistically enhanced in the presence of the ndc-80 complex and may allow the ndc-80 complex to track depolymerizing microtubules.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the SKA1 complex, composed of SKA1, SKA2 and SKA3. Forms a heterodimer with SKA1; the heterodimer interacting with SKA3. The core SKA1 complex is composed of 2 SKA1-SKA2 heterodimers, each heterodimer interacting with a molecule of the SKA3 homodimer. The core SKA1 complex associates with microtubules and forms oligomeric assemblies. Interacts directly with SKA1. Binds directly to microtubules; but with a much lower affinity than SKA1. May interact with NR3C1; the relevance of such interaction remains unclear in vivo.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle. Chromosome. Centromere. Kinetochore.
Similarity. Belongs to the SKA2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 52 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.
