UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for AURKA Gene

  • Mitotic serine/threonine kinase that contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression (PubMed:26246606). Associates with the centrosome and the spindle microtubules during mitosis and plays a critical role in various mitotic events including the establishment of mitotic spindle, centrosome duplication, centrosome separation as well as maturation, chromosomal alignment, spindle assembly checkpoint, and cytokinesis (PubMed:26246606). Required for normal spindle positioning during mitosis and for the localization of NUMA1 and DCTN1 to the cell cortex during metaphase (PubMed:27335426). Required for initial activation of CDK1 at centrosomes. Phosphorylates numerous target proteins, including ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, CDC25B, DLGP5, HDAC6, KIF2A, LATS2, NDEL1, PARD3, PPP1R2, PLK1, RASSF1, TACC3, p53/TP53 and TPX2. Regulates KIF2A tubulin depolymerase activity. Required for normal axon formation. Plays a role in microtubule remodeling during neurite extension. Important for microtubule formation and/or stabilization. Also acts as a key regulatory component of the p53/TP53 pathway, and particularly the checkpoint-response pathways critical for oncogenic transformation of cells, by phosphorylating and stabilizing p53/TP53. Phosphorylates its own inhibitors, the protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) isoforms, to inhibit their activity. Necessary for proper cilia disassembly prior to mitosis.

Tocris Summary for AURKA Gene

  • Aurora kinases are a family of three highly homologous serine/threonine kinases that play a critical role in regulating many of the processes that are pivotal to mitosis. Each of the isoforms, Aurora A, Aurora B and Aurora C, has a different function in the control of mitosis.

Interacts also with its substrates ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, KIF2A, PARD3, and p53/TP53. Interaction with BORA promotes phosphorylation of PLK1. Interacts with PIFO. Interacts with GADD45A, competing with its oligomerization. Interacts (via C-terminus) with AUNIP (via C-terminus). Identified in a complex with AUNIP and NIN. Interacts with FRY; this interaction facilitates AURKA-mediated PLK1 phosphorylation. Interacts with SIRT2 (PubMed:17726514, PubMed:22014574). Interacts with MYCN; interaction is phospho-independent and triggers AURKA activation; AURKA competes with FBXW7 for binding to unphosphorylated MYCN but not for binding to phosphorylated MYCN (PubMed:27837025). Interacts with HNRNPU (PubMed:21242313, PubMed:25986610). Interacts with AAAS (PubMed:26246606).
    Miscellaneous:
    • Centrosome amplification can occur when the cycles are uncoupled, and this amplification is associated with cancer and with an increase in the levels of chromosomal instability.

Post-translational modifications for AURKA Gene

  • Activated by phosphorylation at Thr-288; this brings about a change in the conformation of the activation segment. Phosphorylation at Thr-288 varies during the cell cycle and is highest during M phase. Autophosphorylated at Thr-288 upon TPX2 binding. Thr-288 can be phosphorylated by several kinases, including PAK and PKA. Protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) binds AURKA and inhibits its activity by dephosphorylating Thr-288 during mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-342 decreases the kinase activity. PPP2CA controls degradation by dephosphorylating Ser-51 at the end of mitosis.
  • Ubiquitinated by the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex SCF(FBXL7) during mitosis, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitinated by CHFR, leading to its degradation by the proteasome (By similarity). Ubiquitinated by the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), leading to its degradation by the proteasome.

Activation of CDK1, appears to be an upstream event of AURKA activation. Phosphatase inhibitor-2 (PPP1R2) and TPX2 act also as activators. Inactivated by the G2 checkpoint. Inhibited by GADD45A and p53/TP53, and through dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1). MLN8054 is also a potent and selective inhibitor. Activated during the early phase of cilia disassembly in the presence of PIFO.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Induction:
Expression is cell-cycle regulated, low in G1/S, accumulates during G2/M, and decreases rapidly after.
