AurA
a member of the AUR family of kinases. A cell cycle-regulated serine/threonine protein kinase that is overexpressed in many tumor cell lines. Regulated by phosphorylation-dependent proteasomal degradation. Localized to mitotic centrosomes and spindle microtubules and is required for centrosome maturation. Loss of Aurora A leads to defective mitotic spindles and gross errors in chromosome segregation. Required for centrosome duplication and chromosome segregation. Overexpression in culture drives transformation and aneuploidy, and negatively regulates p53. Amplified or overexpressed in many tumors or cell lines. Found as a skin tumor susceptibility gene in mouse, and a human SNP in a degradation domain is weakly cancer-associated and undergoes allele-specific amplification. Inhibitors: VX-680, ZM447439, Hesperadin, SNS-595. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
