It localizes to the centrosome throughout the cell cycle and interacts with γ-tubulin via coiled-coil-containing fragments, an association required for its own centrosomal targeting; loss of CEP70 disrupts interphase microtubule organization and produces mis-oriented, poorly bipolar mitotic spindles [PMID:21795687]. In vitro, purified CEP70 increases microtubule length without changing microtubule number, establishing that it acts as a direct elongation factor rather than a nucleator [PMID:22427462]. CEP70 additionally interacts with the deacetylase HDAC6 in the cytoplasm and promotes tubulin acetylation, stabilizing microtubules against cold- and nocodazole-induced depolymerization [PMID:26112604]. Its centrosomal function is gated by the deubiquitinase CYLD, which removes polyubiquitin from CEP70 to permit γ-tubulin binding and centrosomal localization, thereby enabling axoneme elongation during ciliogenesis [PMID:25342559]; consistent with this, CEP70 is required for cilium elongation (but not basal body formation) across tissues [PMID:19254375]. Through reorganization of microtubules and activation of the Rho-family GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1, CEP70 drives centrosome reorientation, endothelial cell migration, and angiogenesis [PMID:22437770]. CEP70 is also essential for spermiogenesis, where its loss causes germ-cell apoptosis and defective flagella and acrosome formation, and a heterozygous CEP70 mutation has been identified in a patient with azoospermia [PMID:33980814]. CEP70 dosage is tightly constrained: its overexpression mislocalizes γ-tubulin and pericentrin, disorganizes microtubules, and induces multipolar spindles

It localizes to the centrosome throughout the cell cycle and interacts with γ-tubulin via coiled-coil-containing fragments, an association required for its own centrosomal targeting; loss of CEP70 disrupts interphase microtubule organization and produces mis-oriented, poorly bipolar mitotic spindles [#0]. In vitro, purified CEP70 increases microtubule length without changing microtubule number, establishing that it acts as a direct elongation factor rather than a nucleator [#2]. CEP70 additionally interacts with the deacetylase HDAC6 in the cytoplasm and promotes tubulin acetylation, stabilizing microtubules against cold- and nocodazole-induced depolymerization [#4]. Its centrosomal function is gated by the deubiquitinase CYLD, which removes polyubiquitin from CEP70 to permit γ-tubulin binding and centrosomal localization, thereby enabling axoneme elongation during ciliogenesis [#3]; consistent with this, CEP70 is required for cilium elongation (but not basal body formation) across tissues [#6]. Through reorganization of microtubules and activation of the Rho-family GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1, CEP70 drives centrosome reorientation, endothelial cell migration, and angiogenesis [#1]. CEP70 is also essential for spermiogenesis, where its loss causes germ-cell apoptosis and defective flagella and acrosome formation, and a heterozygous CEP70 mutation has been identified in a patient with azoospermia [#8].
