Template:PBB Kinesin family member 11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF11 gene.[1]

This gene encodes a motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. Members of this protein family are known to be involved in various kinds of spindle dynamics. The function of this gene product includes chromosome positioning, centrosome separation and establishing a bipolar spindle during cell mitosis.[1]

Function in neurons

KIF11 (also known as kinesin-5 and Eg5) is a homotetramer which cross-links anti-parallel microtubules in the mitotic spindle to maintain spindle bipolarity.[2][3][4][5] KIF11 is expressed in all cells during mitosis and in postmitotic neurons during development [6] . In developing neurons pharmacological inhibition and siRNA knockdown of KIF11 results in longer axons, more branches, fewer bouts of axon retraction and the inability of growth cones to turn on contact with repulsive substrates.[7][8][9] In migratory neurons, inhibition of KIF11 causes neurons to migrate in a random pattern and form shorter leading processes.[10] KIF11, like KIF15 and KIF23, is thought to act as a restrictor of short microtubules moving bi-directionally along the axon, exerting forces antagonistically to cytoplasmic dynein.[11][12] In mature neurons, KIF11 restricts the movement of short microtubules in dendrites, contributing to the formation of characteristic shape of dendrites [13] KIF11 is also expressed in adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, although at a much diminished level. In adult neurons It has a similar effect on inhibiting the rate of short microtubule transport so pharmacological inhibition and siRNA knockdown of adult KIF11 may be a potential therapeutic tool for the augmentation of adult axon regeneration.[14]

Pharmacological inhibitors

Inhibitors of KIF11 have been developed as chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. Inhibition causes cells to undergo mitotic arrest, undergo apoptosis and form monoaster spindles [15] . Various compounds, like monastrol have been tested in clinical trials but none have been fully developed and marketed as an anti-cancer treatment. Common KIF11 inhibitors include:

Mutations and Cancer

Mutations in the KIF11 gene convey resistance of mitotic cell lines to inhibitors such as monastrol and STLC [22]. For example, point mutations in the inhibitor binding pocket, R119A, D130A, L132A, I136A, L214A and E215A confer resistance to monastrol, while R119A, D130A and L214A mutations confer resistance to STLC. This may explain how tumor cells become drug-resistant to KIF11 inhibitors.
