MGI Phenotype

FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a component of the chromosomal passenger complex. This complex is an essential regulator of mitosis and cell division. This protein is cell-cycle regulated and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle formation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudgenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 7, 8 and 16. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele exhibit early embryonic lethality due to mitotic defects associated with abnormal microtubule organization and mislocalization of the chromosomal passenger protein complex. Blastocysts fail to develop past E3.5 and undergo apoptosis by E5.5. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

Cdca8 encodes Borealin (alternatively, Dasra B), a non-enzymatic member of the chromosomal passenger complex that is involved in regulatory roles at the centromeres and central spindle in mitosis (1). Chromosomal passenger activity is required for phosphorylation of histone H3, correction of kinetochore attachment errors, aspects of the spindle assembly checkpoint, assembly of a stable bipolar spindle, and the completion of cytokinesis [reviewed in (2)]. RNAi of Borealin results in mitotic delay as well as kinetochore-spindle misattachments an increase in bipolar spindles associated with ectopic asters (1). Borealin, along with Survivin, mediate centromere docking [reviewed in (3)].

Expression/Localization

Similar to other chromosomal passenger proteins, Borealin is nuclear in G2, associates with condensing chromosomes in prophase, accumulate at the inner centromeres in prometaphase and metaphase then, at anaphase onset, leave the chromosomes and transfer to the central spindle to finally concentrate in the midbody at cytokinesis [(4); reviewed in (2)].

Background

Cdca8^{tm1Tatn/tm1Tatn}; MGI:3795253

involves: C57BL/6 * CBA

Mice homozygous for a reporter allele exhibit early embryonic lethality due to mitotic defects associated with abnormal microtubule organization and mislocalization of the chromosomal passenger protein complex (5). Blastocysts fail to develop past E3.5 and undergo apoptosis by E5.5 (5).
