Disease
[KIF11_HUMAN] Defects in KIF11 are the cause of microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation (MCLMR) [MIM:152950]. An autosomal dominant disorder that involves an overlapping but variable spectrum of central nervous system and ocular developmental anomalies. Microcephaly ranges from mild to severe and is often associated with mild to moderate developmental delay and a characteristic facial phenotype with upslanting palpebral fissures, broad nose with rounded tip, long philtrum with thin upper lip, prominent chin, and prominent ears. Chorioretinopathy is the most common eye abnormality, but retinal folds, microphthalmia, and myopic and hypermetropic astigmatism have also been reported, and some individuals have no overt ocular phenotype. Congenital lymphedema, when present, is typically confined to the dorsa of the feet, and lymphoscintigraphy reveals the absence of radioactive isotope uptake from the webspaces between the toes.[1]
Function
[KIF11_HUMAN] Motor protein required for establishing a bipolar spindle. Blocking of KIF11 prevents centrosome migration and arrest cells in mitosis with monoastral microtubule arrays.[2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
For a better understanding of protein-inhibitor interactions, we report structural, thermodynamic, and biological analyses of the interactions between S-trityl-l-cysteine (STLC) derivatives and the motor domain of kinesin spindle protein Eg5. Binding of STLC-type inhibitors to Eg5 was enthalpically driven and entropically unfavorable. The introduction of a para-methoxy substituent in one phenyl ring of STLC enhances its inhibitory activity resulting from a larger enthalpy gain possibly due to the increased shape complementarity. The substituent fits to a recess in the binding pocket. To avoid steric hindrance, the substituted STLC is nudged toward the side opposite to the recess, which enhances the interaction of Eg5 with the remaining part of the inhibitor. Further introduction of an ethylene linkage between two phenyl rings enhances Eg5 inhibitory activity by reducing the loss of entropy in forming the complex. This study provides valuable examples of enhancing protein-inhibitor interactions without forming additional hydrogen bonds.
