Summary
TPX2 (TPX2 microtubule nucleation factor, HGNC:1249) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q11.21, encoding Targeting protein for Xklp2 (Q9ULW0). Spindle assembly factor required for normal assembly of mitotic spindles. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.3% of cancer cell lines).
Enables several functions, including importin-alpha family protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in activation of protein kinase activity; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Located in intercellular bridge; nucleoplasm; and spindle. Is active in spindle.

Function. Spindle assembly factor required for normal assembly of mitotic spindles. Required for normal assembly of microtubules during apoptosis. Required for chromatin and/or kinetochore dependent microtubule nucleation. Mediates AURKA localization to spindle microtubules. Activates AURKA by promoting its autophosphorylation at ‘Thr-288’ and protects this residue against dephosphorylation. TPX2 is inactivated upon binding to importin-alpha. At the onset of mitosis, GOLGA2 interacts with importin-alpha, liberating TPX2 from importin-alpha, allowing TPX2 to activate AURKA kinase and stimulate local microtubule nucleation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with AURKA. Interacts with importin-alpha; leading to inactivate TPX2. Interacts with HNRNPU; this interaction recruits HNRNPU to spindle microtubules (MTs). Interacts with BCL2L10. Interacts with KIF11.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle. Spindle pole.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in lung carcinoma cell lines but not in normal lung tissues.
Similarity. Belongs to the TPX2 family.
