Haspin (haploid germ cell-specific nuclear protein kinase) is reported to be a serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in cell-cycle cessation and differentiation of haploid germ cells. In addition, Haspin mRNA can be detected in diploid cell lines and tissues. Here, Haspin-like proteins are identified in several major eukaryotic phyla-including yeasts, plants, flies, fish, and mammals-and an extended group in Caenorhabditis elegans. The Haspin-like proteins have a complete but divergent eu ...[more]
