Stathmin, a ubiquitously expressed microtubule destabilizing phosphoprotein, is upregulated in a number of cancers.
The N-terminus of the protein is involved in promotion of tubulin filament depolymerization and contains multiple phosphorylation sites.
Phosphorylation at these sites inactivates the protein and stabilizes microtubules.
Ser16 phosphorylation by CaM kinase II and IV (1,2) increases upon entrance into the G2/M-phase and is involved in mitotic spindle regulation (3,4).
Ser38 is a target for cdc2 kinase phosphorylation (5) and TNF-induced cell death gives rise to reactive oxygen intermediates leading to hyperphosphorylation of stathmin (6).
EGF receptor activation of Rac and cdc42 also increases phosphorylation of stathmin on Ser16 and Ser38 (7).
Other closely related family members are neuronally expressed and include SCG10, SCLIP, RB3 and its splice variants RB3’ and RB3’’.
Stathmin and SCG10 have been shown to play roles in neuronal-like development in PC12 cells (8).
