Aurora

The Aurora kinase family (EC 2.7.11.1) is a collection of highly related serine/threonine kinases that functions as a key regulator of mitosis, essential for accurate and equal segregation of genomic material from parent to daughter cells. As a result, they play a central role in cell cycle regulation[1]. Three related kinases known as Aurora-A, Aurora-B, and Aurora-C have been characterized over the years. Despite significant sequence homology, the localization and functions of these kinases are largely distinct from one another. Given the association of Aurora over-expression and tumorigenesis, these kinases have been targeted for cancer therapy, and a new class of drugs known as Aurora kinase inhibitors has been developed[2],[3].
