Journal ArticleDOI

Ska3 Ensures Timely Mitotic Progression by Interacting Directly With Microtubules and Ska1 Microtubule Binding Domain.

TL;DR: Ska3 employs additional modulatory elements within the Ska complex to ensure robust kinetochore-microtubule attachments and timely progression of mitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The in vivo expression pattern of mouse Nek2, a NIMA-related kinase, indicates a role in both mitosis and meiosis

TL;DR: Results indicate that Nek2 may play an important role not only during mitosis but also during meiosis, and indirect immunofluorescence staining of testis sections with Nek2-specific antibodies confirmed that this kinase is highly expressed in spermatocytes and, to a lesser extent, in early sperMatids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of phosphorylation sites in the polo-like kinases Plx1 and Plk1 by a novel strategy based on element and electrospray high resolution mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: A novel strategy for the determination of protein phosphorylation sites is described and applied to the polo‐like kinases Plx1 (Xenopus laevis) and Plk1 (Homo sapiens) and positive identification and sequencing of phosphopeptides is performed in the last step of the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ska complex promotes Aurora B activity to ensure chromosome biorientation.

TL;DR: Redli et al. show that Ska promotes Aurora B activity to limit its own microtubule and kinetochore association and ensure proper chromosome biorientation and segregation.
