General description: Hook proteins are cytosolic coiled-coil proteins that contain conserved N-terminal domains, which attach to microtubules, and more divergent C-terminal domains, which mediate binding to organelles. The Drosophila Hook protein is a component of the endocytic compartment.[supplied by OMIM
Biochem/physiol Actions: In Caenorhabditis elegans, the HOOK3 (hook microtubule-tethering protein 3) protein is required for connecting the centrosome and the nucleus. It participates in transport of pericentriolar satellites, needed for centrosomal assembly in neurogenesis. HOOK3-RET (ret proto-oncogene) fusion protein is identified in papillary thyroid carcinoma and it results in tumor formation in nude mice. In presence of Salmonella enterica infection, the Salmonella SpiC (pathogenicity island 2 secreted effector protein) inactivates HOOK3 function and thereby affects the cellular trafficking and phagosome-lysosome fusion.
