Target

  • FunctionMay be directly involved in regulating the cleavage of polar spindle microtubules and is a key regulator for the onset of cytokinesis during mitosis. Component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle assembly. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' and 'Ser-28' of histone H3 during mitosis. Required for kinetochore localization of BUB1 and SGOL1. Interacts with INCENP.
  • Tissue specificityHigh level expression seen in the thymus. It is also expressed in the spleen, lung, testis, colon, placenta and fetal liver. Expressed during S and G2/M phase and expression is up-regulated in cancer cells during M phase.
  • Involvement in diseaseNote=Disruptive regulation of expression is a possibile mechanism of the perturbation of chromosomal integrity in cancer cells through its dominant-negative effect on cytokinesis.
  • Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Aurora subfamily.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Ubiquitinated by different BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. Ubiquitinated by the BCR(KLHL9-KLHL13) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, ubiquitination leads to removal from mitotic chromosomes and is required for cytokinesis. During anaphase, the BCR(KLHL21) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex recruits the CPC complex from chromosomes to the spindle midzone and mediates the ubiquitination of AURKB. Ubiquitination of AURKB by BCR(KLHL21) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex may not lead to its degradation by the proteasome.
  • Cellular localizationNucleus. Chromosome. Chromosome > centromere. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > spindle. Localizes on chromosome arms and inner centromeres from prophase through metaphase and then transferring to the spindle midzone and midbody from anaphase through cytokinesis. Colocalized with gamma tubulin in the mid-body.

Anti-Aurora B antibody images

  • The top panel shows paraformaldehyde fixed HeLa cells stained with ab2254 (1/1000) and counterstained with DAPI (red). Staining with ab2254 is shown in green. In the lower panel the staining with ab2254 is quenched by the addition of the blocking peptide, ab13569.

  • ab2254 staining human A431 (epithelial) cells by ICC/IF.  The sample was fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized by incubation with 0.1% Triton X100.  1% BSA was used as the blocking agent prior to a 1 hour incubation with the primary antibody, diluted 1/1000 with 1% BSA made up in PBS.  An Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) antibody was used as the secondary.  Blocking and antibody incubation steps were carried out at room temperature.

    In this set of images, the tubulin is stained green, Aurora B in pink and DNA in blue.

  • Immunofluorescence in human cells using Rabbit polyclonal to Aurora B (red), DAPI (blue) and CREST serum (binds to centromeres)(green).

    (a) HeLa cells - transition from interphase (left) through mitosis
    (b) RPE-1 cells - as in (a)
    (c) HeLa cells - interphase
    (d) RPE-1 cells - interphase

  • Rabbit polyclonal to Aurora B (ab2254) used to stain SW620 human tumour xenografts (in mouse).

    The sections were microwave pretreated in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 5 mins high then 5 mins simmer (800W conventional microwave).  Slides were then incubated for 1 hour with the Aurora B primary antibody diluted 1/200 in TBS, then visualised using DAB, after application of an appropriate secondary.

  • ICC/IF image of ab2254 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab2254, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG - H&L, pre-adsorbed (ab96899) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h.
