Using ZINC08918027 inhibitor to determine Aurora kinase-chromosomal passenger complex isoforms in mouse oocytes.
Title: Using ZINC08918027 inhibitor to determine Aurora kinase-chromosomal passenger complex isoforms in mouse oocytes.
Aurora B and C kinases regulate chromosome desynapsis and segregation during mouse and human spermatogenesis.
Title: Aurora B and C kinases regulate chromosome desynapsis and segregation during mouse and human spermatogenesis.
in the absence of AURKC, AURKA localizes to chromosomes in a CPC-dependent manner. These data suggest that AURKC prevents AURKA from localizing to chromosomes by competing for CPC binding. This competition is important for adequate spindle length to support meiosis I. There is also a unique requirement for AURKB to negatively regulate AURKC to prevent aneuploidy.
Title: Genetic Interactions between the Aurora Kinases Reveal New Requirements for AURKB and AURKC during Oocyte Meiosis.
findings demonstrate that maternal RNAs regulate AURKC localization and activity in mouse oocytes
Title: Maternal RNA regulates Aurora C kinase during mouse oocyte maturation in a translation-independent fashion.
The high sequence similarity among the AURK family members has made discerning the individual kinase functions in meiosis challenging. Technical limitations in specifically targeting AURKB or AURKC using small-molecule inhibitors and compensatory abilities in single-knockout animals add to this challenge...proper regulation of AURKA expression is crucial for spindle formation in meiosis
Title: Specialize and Divide (Twice): Functions of Three Aurora Kinase Homologs in Mammalian Oocyte Meiotic Maturation.
Three of these mutations AURKC c.144delC (AURKC p.L49Wfs22), AURKC c.686G > A (AURKC p.C229Y) and AURKC c.744C > G (AURKC p.Y248*) are the focus of this study. AURKC p.L49Wfs22 is a loss-of-function mutant that perturbs localization of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), AURKC p.C229Y is a hypomorph that cannot fully support cell-cycle progression, and AURKC p.Y248* fails to support chromosome segregation.
Title: Characterization of macrozoospermia-associated AURKC mutations in a mammalian meiotic system.
These data uncover a role for haspin as a regulator of bipolar spindle assembly by regulating AURKC function at acentriolar microtubule-organizing centers in oocytes.
Title: Haspin kinase regulates microtubule-organizing center clustering and stability through Aurora kinase C in mouse oocytes.
these data suggest that mammalian oocytes contain AURKC to efficiently execute meiosis I and ensure high-quality eggs necessary for sexual reproduction.
Title: Selective disruption of aurora C kinase reveals distinct functions from aurora B kinase during meiosis in mouse oocytes.
These findings suggest a model for the presence of AURKC in oocytes: that AURKC compensates for loss of AURKB through differences in both message recruitment and protein stability.
Title: Maternally recruited Aurora C kinase is more stable than Aurora B to support mouse oocyte maturation and early development.
overexpression of Aurora-C induces abnormal cell division resulting in centrosome amplification and multinucleation; tumor aggressiveness was positively correlated with the quantity of active kinase
Title: Overexpression of active Aurora-C kinase results in cell transformation and tumour formation.

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.
