MCAK colocalized with NuMA and XMAP215 at the center of Ran asters where its activity is regulated by Aurora A-dependent phosphorylation of S196, which contributes to proper pole focusing
Title: Aurora A phosphorylates MCAK to control ran-dependent spindle bipolarity.
Plx1 promotes activation of Aurora A, most likely through TPX2.
Title: Phosphorylation of TPX2 by Plx1 enhances activation of Aurora A.
Data show that Aurora A is a key regulator of microtubule assembly during M phase and therefore of bipolar spindle formation.
Title: Dissecting the role of Aurora A during spindle assembly.
Aurora-A kinase is required for astral microtubule polymerization and spindle microtubule flux during chromosome segregation.
Title: Requirement of aurora-A kinase in astral microtubule polymerization and spindle microtubule flux.
Results suggest that phosphorylation of maskin by Aurora-A prevents meiosis II proteins from being produced during meiosis I.
Title: Phosphorylation of maskin by Aurora-A participates in the control of sequential protein synthesis during Xenopus laevis oocyte maturation.
binding and elution properties of both the phosphopeptides and unphosphorylated peptides of His6-Aurora A
Title: Identification of novel phosphorylation sites on Xenopus laevis Aurora A and analysis of phosphopeptide enrichment by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography.
The N-terminal non-catalytic domain of Aurora-A can localize to the centrosome in Xenopus egg extracts, while GFP fusions of either the N-terminal or catalytic domains are targeted to the centrosome in Xenopus XL2 cells.
Title: Aurora A, meiosis and mitosis.
Here we identify G205 in Xenopus Aurora A as a key determinant of both intrinsic activity and regulation by TPX2
Title: The Aurora A and Aurora B protein kinases: a single amino acid difference controls intrinsic activity and activation by TPX2.
The catalytic domain alone of Aurora-A is sufficient to restore spindle bipolarity; additional N-terminal sequences function in mitotic timing.
Title: Aurora A, mitotic entry, and spindle bipolarity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
