Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing (TACC) proteins are crucial for cell division and organization. This review explores their diverse roles in microtubule stabilization, development, and cancer progression.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Centrosomes, crucial for cellular functions, have molecular mechanisms that remain largely unknown.
  • A novel family of centrosomal proteins, TACC proteins, have been identified across diverse organisms.
  • TACC proteins are vital for cell division and organization in embryonic and somatic systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge of the TACC protein family.
  • To illustrate the evolutionary adaptations of centrosomes using TACC proteins as examples.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of TACC protein research.
  • Comparative analysis of TACC protein functions across species.

Main Results:

  • TACC proteins are implicated in microtubule stabilization.
  • TACC proteins play roles in acentrosomal spindle assembly.
  • TACC proteins are involved in translational regulation, development, and cancer progression.

Conclusions:

  • TACC proteins are multifunctional and evolutionarily conserved.
  • Understanding TACC proteins offers insights into centrosome function and evolution.
