The human augmin complex (HAUS) is an evolutionarily conserved 8-subunit protein complex that was initially discovered in Drosophila. The HAUS complex is essential for microtubule generation, centrosome integrity, mitotic spindle assembly and completion of cytokinesis. HAUS6 (HAUS augmin-like complex, subunit 6), also known as FAM29A or Dgt6, is a 955 amino acid component of the augmin complex. Required for mitotic progression, HAUS6 localizes to cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, mitotic spindle microtubules and interphase centrosomes, and undergoes post-translational phosphorylation following mitosis on multiple serine and threonine residues. HAUS6 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms that are encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 9.
