  • Function

    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. Probably acts through association with AURKB or AURKC. Seems to bind directly to microtubules. Controls the kinetochore localization of BUB1.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the INCENP family.

  • Cellular localization

    Chromosome > centromere. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > spindle. Nucleus. Chromosome > centromere > kinetochore. Localizes to inner kinetochore. Localizes on chromosome arms and inner centromeres from prophase through metaphase and then transferring to the spindle midzone and midbody from anaphase through cytokinesis. Colocalizes with AURKB at mitotic chromosomes.

Question

Inquiry: Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to use this INCENP in vitro for activation of Aurora B kinase? The applications tested by Abcam include "functional studies", but I am not sure what it means.

Answer




I am happy to confirm that ab135223 can be used for Aurora B and Aurora C activation in vitro.


Recombinant human INCENP (783-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal His tag.


Maybe these publications will be helpful when establishing the binding/ activation/ kinase assay for INCENP and Aurora B kinase:
