the microtubule-associated proteins Bik1 and Bim1 are important host factors in the process of plasmid localization to a certain sub-nuclear locale probably assisted by the motor protein, Kip1 and microtubules, perhaps by acting as an adapter between the plasmid and the motor and thus helping to anchor the plasmid to microtubules.
Title: Microtubule-associated proteins, Bik1 and Bim1, are required for faithful partitioning of the endogenous 2 micron plasmids in budding yeast.

Bim1p has a role in maintaining a stable interpolar microtuble (ipMT) overlap zone by promoting polymerization of ipMTs during anaphase.
Title: The microtubule-based motor Kar3 and plus end-binding protein Bim1 provide structural support for the anaphase spindle.

Crystal structures of the tubulin binding domains of XMAP215 (yeast Stu2p and Drosophila Msps), EB1 (yeast Bim1p and human EB1), and CLIP-170 (human), which reveal diverse tubulin binding interfaces, are reported.
Title: Structural basis of microtubule plus end tracking by XMAP215, CLIP-170, and EB1.

Overproduction of Bim1, but not Kar9, restores Kar9-dependent spindle positioning in the tub4-delta dsyl mutant, reduces cortical dwelling, and promotes Bim1-Kar9 interactions.
Title: Gamma-tubulin is required for proper recruitment and assembly of Kar9-Bim1 complexes in budding yeast.
