Aurora B Regulates MCAK at the Mitotic Centromere

TL;DR: The results link Aurora B activity to MCAK function, with Aurora B regulating M CAK's activity and its localization at the centromere and kinetochore, and disruption of Aurora B function by expression of a kinase-dead mutant or RNAi prevented centromeric targeting of MCAk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass spectrometric analysis of the anaphase-promoting complex from yeast: identification of a subunit related to cullins.

TL;DR: The newly identified proteins Apc2p, Apc5p, and the RING-finger protein Apc11p are conserved from yeast to humans and are similar to the cullin Cdc53p, which is a subunit of the ubiquitin-protein ligase complex SCFCdc4 required for the initiation of DNA replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitotic mechanics: the auroras come into view.

TL;DR: Aurora kinases have recently taken centre stage in the regulation of key cell cycle processes and recent work on both kinases has revealed functional links between Aurora kinase activity and the mechanics of cell division.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aurora kinases: shining lights on the therapeutic horizon?

TL;DR: The recent identification of novel binding partners and key downstream effectors, together with new small-molecule inhibitors that display efficacy against tumours, heralds an upsurge of interest in these critical kinases.
