Aurora B family kinases play an essential role in chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. Recent work suggests that the kinase activity is required for bipolar chromosome orientation, kinetochore assembly, spindle checkpoint and microtubule dynamics. Aurora B also has additional functions in chromosome condensation and cohesion.
极光B家族激酶在染色体分离和胞质分裂中起着至关重要的作用。最近的研究表明,激酶活性对于双极染色体定向、动粒组装、纺锤体检查点和微管动力学是必需的。极光B在染色体凝聚和黏附中也具有其他功能。
