Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb286860
• Gene Symbol: TAN1
• Gene Name: tangled1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ANGLED1 (TAN1) is a microtubule-binding protein that localizes to the division site and mitotic microtubules and plays a critical role in division plane orientation in plants.
• In vitro experiments demonstrate that TAN1 directly binds microtubules, mediating microtubule zippering or end-on microtubule interactions, depending on their contact angle.
• TAN1 in mediating microtubule interactions and an in vivo function in spindle organization and phragmoplast microtubule interactions at the division site.
• Colocalization of growing microtubules ends from the phragmoplast with TAN1 at the division site suggests that TAN1 interacts with microtubule tips end-on.
• TAN1 contributes to microtubule organization to ensure proper division plane orientation.
