ZWILCH also known as ZW10 interactor-like or ZWILCH kinetochore protein is an important component in cell division especially during mitosis. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 85 kDa. ZWILCH is highly expressed in dividing cells with enrichment in tissues that have high mitotic rates like the bone marrow and germinal centers. Functionally ZWILCH is a component of the RZZ complex comprising ROD (also known as KNTC1) and ZW10 helping in the proper attachment of chromosomes at the kinetochores.
Biological function summary
ZWILCH is fundamental in ensuring accurate chromosome alignment and segregation during cell division. It plays a part as a component of the RZZ complex. The RZZ complex localizes to kinetochores which are critical for connecting spindle microtubules to chromosomes promoting bioriented chromosome alignment. Moreover ZWILCH contributes to the spindle assembly checkpoint a safety mechanism that prevents chromosome mis-segregation by delaying progress to anaphase until all chromosomes are correctly attached.
Pathways
ZWILCH plays integral roles in the mitotic spindle checkpoint and chromosomal stability pathways. Within these pathways ZWILCH associates closely with spindle assembly checkpoint proteins such as MAD2 and BUBR1 which monitor kinetochore-microtubule attachment. ZWILCH through its role in the RZZ complex communicates tension status between sister chromatids ensuring proper cell-cycle progression and genomic integrity.
ZWILCH has significant connections to both cancer and aneuploidy. Misregulation or mutations in ZWILCH can result in chromosomal instability a main feature in various cancers. Aberrant activity of the RZZ complex where ZWILCH is vital could disrupt normal cell division and cause aneuploidy a condition characterized by an abnormal number of chromosomes seen in numerous cancer types and genetic disorders. Therefore ZWILCH and its associations with proteins like ZW10 and ROD serve as potential biomarkers for chromosomal instability-related diseases.
