General annotation (Comments)

Function

Mitotic serine/threonine kinases that contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression. 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. Phosphorylates numerous target proteins. Important for microtubule formation and/or stabilization By similarity.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Subunit structure

Interacts with kif2c and kif11 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeletonspindle pole By similarity. Cytoplasmcytoskeletoncentrosome By similarity. Note: Localizes to the spindle pole during mitosis especially from prophase through anaphase. Partially colocalized with gamma tubulin in the centrosome, from S to M phase By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated. Autophosphorylated on a serine residue By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Aurora subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence CAA78914.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.
