摘要：

The human serine/threonine kinase Aurora-B is structurally related to the protein kinase Ip11p from S cerevisiae and aurora from Drosophila melanogaster, which are key regulators of mitosis. The present study shows that human Aurora-B is activated by okadaic acid and forms complexes with the protein serine/threonine phosphatase type I (PP1) or PP2A, but not with PP5. These data identified Aurora-B associated protein phosphatases as negative regulators of kinase activation. We then used a series of substrates based on a histone H3 phosphorylation site (residues 5-15) to determine the substrate specificity of human Aurora-B. We found that this enzyme is an arginine-directed kinase that can phosphorylate histone H3 at serines 10 and 28 in vitro, suggesting that human Aurora-B is a mitotic histone H3 kinase.
