Summary
TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3, HGNC:11524) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4p16.3, encoding Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 (Q9Y6A5). Plays a role in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 54.3% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a member of the transforming acidic colied-coil protein family. The encoded protein is a motor spindle protein that may play a role in stabilization of the mitotic spindle. This protein may also play a role in growth a differentiation of certain cancer cells.

Function. Plays a role in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. Involved in the processes that regulate centrosome-mediated interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) of neural progenitors. Acts as a component of the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex proposed to contribute to stabilization of kinetochore fibers of the mitotic spindle by acting as inter-microtubule bridge. The TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex is required for the maintenance of kinetochore fiber tension. May be involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation. May contribute to cancer.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with microtubules. Interacts with CKAP5 independently of clathrin. Interacts with CKAP5 and clathrin forming the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex located at spindle inter-microtubules bridges; TACC3 (phosphorylated at Ser-558 by AURKA) and CLTC are proposed to form a composite microtubule interaction surface. Interacts with CCDC100/CEP120. The coiled coil C-terminal region interacts with AH receptor nuclear translocator protein (ARNT) and ARNT2. Interacts with GCN5L2 and PCAF.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Spindle. Spindle pole.
Induction. Up-regulated in various cancer cell lines.
Similarity. Belongs to the TACC family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 105 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.
