High impact information on IPL1

 

Biological context of IPL1

  • We investigated IPL1 function in cells that cannot replicate their chromosomes but nevertheless duplicate their spindle pole bodies (SPBs) [3].
  • We isolated mutants in IPL1, which encodes a protein kinase, in a screen for budding yeast mutants that have defects in sister chromatid separation and segregation [4].
  • In the present study, a second human cDNA highly homologous to aurora/IPL1 (Aik2) was identified and the nucleotide sequence was determined (gene symbol STK12) [5].
  • Kinetochores assembled in extracts from ipl1 mutants show altered binding to microtubules [4].
  • Ipl1p localizes to the mitotic spindle and its levels are regulated during the cell cycle [4].
 

Anatomical context of IPL1

 

Associations of IPL1 with chemical compounds

  • We have isolated a cDNA encoding a novel human protein kinase of 402 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 45.9 kDa, which shares high amino acid identities with the Aurora/Ipl1 protein kinase family; hence the cDNA is designated as aik (aurora/IPL1-related kinase) [7].
  • At 26 degrees C, the permissive growth temperature, ipl1 mutant cells are defective in the recovery from a transient G2/M-phase arrest caused by the antimicrotubule drug nocodazole [8].
  • Mammalian Aurora-A is related to a serine/threonine protein kinase that was originally identified by its close homology with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ipl1p and Drosophila melanogaster aurora that are key regulators in the orchestration of mitotic events [9].
  • The Aurora kinase family is a well-characterized serine/threonine protein kinase family that regulates different processes of mitotic events [10].
 

Physical interactions of IPL1

 

Enzymatic interactions of IPL1

  • These data strongly suggest that Glc7 ensures accurate chromosome segregation by dephosphorylating Ipl1 targets rather than regulating the Ipl1 kinase [13].
 

Regulatory relationships of IPL1

 

Other interactions of IPL1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of IPL1

  • This raises the possibility that Ipl1-Sli15 facilitates bi-orientation by promoting turnover of kinetochore-SPB connections until traction of sister kinetochores toward opposite spindle poles creates tension in the surrounding chromatin [3].
