During mitosis, kinesin and dynein motor proteins play critical roles in the equal segregation of chromosomes between two daughter cells. Kinesin-2 is composed of two microtubule-based motor subunits, KIF3A/3B, and a kinesin-associated protein known as KAP3, which links KIF3A/3B to cargo that is carried to cellular organelles along microtubules in interphase cells. We show here that the kinesin-2 complex is localized with components of the mitotic apparatus such as spindle microtubules and centrosomes. Furthermore, we found that expression of a mutant KIF3B, which is able to associate with KIF3A but not KAP3 in NIH3T3 cells, caused chromosomal aneuploidy and abnormal spindle formation. Our data suggest that the kinesin-2 complex plays an important role not only in interphase but also in mitosis.
