Function: Microtubule plus-end tracking protein that promotes the stabilization of dynamic microtubules (PubMed:26003921). Involved in the nucleation of noncentrosomal microtubules originating from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Required for the polarization of the cytoplasmic microtubule arrays in migrating cells towards the leading edge of the cell. May act at the cell cortex to enhance the frequency of rescue of depolymerizing microtubules by attaching their plus-ends to cortical platforms composed of ERC1 and PHLDB2 (PubMed:16824950). This cortical microtubule stabilizing activity is regulated at least in part by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Also performs a similar stabilizing function at the kinetochore which is essential for the bipolar alignment of chromosomes on the mitotic spindle (PubMed:16866869, PubMed:16914514). Acts as a mediator of ERBB2-dependent stabilization of microtubules at the cell cortex.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with microtubules (PubMed:11290329, PubMed:15631994, PubMed:15955847, PubMed:26003921). Interacts with MAPRE1; probably required for targeting to the growing microtubule plus ends (PubMed:15631994, PubMed:19632184, PubMed:26003921). Interacts with CLIP2, ERC1, MAPRE3, PHLDB2 and RSN (PubMed:11290329, PubMed:15631994). The interaction with ERC1 may be mediated by PHLDB2 (PubMed:16824950). Interacts with GCC2; recruits CLASP2 to Golgi membranes (PubMed:17543864). Interacts with MACF1 (By similarity).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylated by GSK3B. Phosphorylation reduces MAPRE1 binding (PubMed:26003921). Phosphorylation by GSK3B may negatively regulate binding to microtubule lattices in lamella.
Similarity: The two SXIP sequence motifs mediate interaction with MAPRE1; this is necessary for targeting to growing microtubule plus ends.Two TOG regions display structural characteristics similar to HEAT repeat domains and mediate interaction with microtubules. Belongs to the CLASP family
