InterPro domain: IPR031852

This domain can be found in the C-terminal of the yeast spindle pole body-associated protein Vik1 and its paralogue, Cik1. This domain is a motor homology domain that retains microtubule binding properties but lacks a nucleotide binding site [ 1 , 2 ].

1. Vik1 modulates microtubule-Kar3 interactions through a motor domain that lacks an active site. Cell 128, 1161-72
2. Kar3Vik1, a member of the kinesin-14 superfamily, shows a novel kinesin microtubule binding pattern. J. Cell Biol. 197, 957-70
