    Summary
    Enables beta-tubulin binding activity; kinetochore binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Involved in attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore and mitotic spindle assembly. Located in kinetochore; mitotic spindle midzone; and polar microtubule. Orthologous to human CLASP2 (cytoplasmic linker associated protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

      Title: Slk19 enhances cross-linking of microtubules by Ase1 and Stu1.
    2. The withdrawal of Stu1, a CLASP essential for spindle integrity, from microtubules and attached kinetochores disrupts the organization of the spindle and thus allows the enhanced formation of dynamic random microtubules that span the nucleus and are ideal to capture unattached kinetochores.

    3. We show that only TOGL2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CLASP Stu1 binds to tubulin and is required for polymerization of spindle microtubules (MTs) in vivo.
      Title: A TOGL domain specifically targets yeast CLASP to kinetochores to stabilize kinetochore microtubules.
    4. sequestering of Stu1 by detached kinetochores serves as a checkpoint that keeps spindle poles in close proximity until all kinetochores are captured
