“…Here, we sought to investigate the FAM83D protein, and define its physiological role in relation to CK1 isoforms. Although FAM83D (aka CHICA) is poorly characterised, it has been shown to be recruited to the mitotic spindle through its association with the microtubule-associated protein hyaluronan mediated motility receptor (HMMR, aka RHAMM or CD168) (Connell, Chen et al, 2017, Dunsch, Hammond et al, 2012, Santamaria, Nagel et al, 2008. Unlike the other FAM83 members that appear to associate robustly with CK1a, we found that over-expressed GFP-FAM83D in asynchronous cell extracts interacted rather weakly, yet selectively, with CK1α (Fulcher et al, 2018), suggesting this could be a regulated interaction.…”
