Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28753627}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28753627}. Note=The majority of the protein resides within the pericentriolar material (PCM), a proteinaceous tube surrounding centrioles. During interphase, the protein is confined to the lateral surfaces of the PCM but during mitosis it relocalizes throughout the PCM and is found at the intercellular bridge. The MKSS protein is highly mobile and rapidly shuttles between the cytosol and centrosome.
