NCIt definition : Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 1 (805 aa, 88 kDa) is encoded
by the human TACC1 gene. This protein may be involved in cell division and histogenesis.;
NCIt note : Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 1 is rich in serine, proline, and
acidic residues, with a 20-amino acid N-terminus rich in tryptophan, and contains
two nuclear localization signals but no DNA- or RNA-binding domains. A 200-residue
C-terminus with extensive alpha-helical segments is expected to adopt a coiled-coil
structure. This nuclear protein is concentrated at centrosomes and interacts with
microtubules and tubulin. (Swiss-Prot, OMIMI);
