== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AURKA_HUMAN AURKA_HUMAN] Mitotic serine/threonine kinases that contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression. Associates with the centrosome and the spindle microtubules during mitosis and plays a critical role in various mitotic events including the establishment of mitotic spindle, centrosome duplication, centrosome separation as well as maturation, chromosomal alignment, spindle assembly checkpoint, and cytokinesis. Required for initial activation of CDK1 at centrosomes. Phosphorylates numerous target proteins, including ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, CDC25B, DLGP5, HDAC6, KIF2A, LATS2, NDEL1, PARD3, PPP1R2, PLK1, RASSF1, TACC3, p53/TP53 and TPX2. Regulates KIF2A tubulin depolymerase activity. Required for normal axon formation. Plays a role in microtubule remodeling during neurite extension. Important for microtubule formation and/or stabilization. Also acts as a key regulatory component of the p53/TP53 pathway, and particularly the checkpoint-response pathways critical for oncogenic transformation of cells, by phosphorylating and stabilizing p53/TP53. Phosphorylates its own inhibitors, the protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) isoforms, to inhibit their activity. Necessary for proper cilia disassembly prior to mitosis.<ref>PMID:9606188</ref> <ref>PMID:11039908</ref> <ref>PMID:11551964</ref> <ref>PMID:12390251</ref> <ref>PMID:13678582</ref> <ref>PMID:14523000</ref> <ref>PMID:15147269</ref> <ref>PMID:14990569</ref> <ref>PMID:15128871</ref> <ref>PMID:14702041</ref> <ref>PMID:15987997</ref> <ref>PMID:18056443</ref> <ref>PMID:17604723</ref> <ref>PMID:17360485</ref> <ref>PMID:18615013</ref> <ref>PMID:19812038</ref> <ref>PMID:19351716</ref> <ref>PMID:19668197</ref> <ref>PMID:19357306</ref> <ref>PMID:20643351</ref> <ref>PMID:17125279</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Aurora A is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that functions in cell-cycle regulation and is implicated in cancer development. During mitosis, Aurora A is activated by autophosphorylation on its activation loop at Thr288. The Aurora A catalytic domain (amino acids 122-403) expressed in Escherichia coli autophosphorylates on two activation-loop threonine residues (Thr288 and Thr287), whereas a C290A,C393A double point mutant of the Aurora A catalytic domain autophosphorylates only on Thr288. The structure of the complex of this mutant with ADP and magnesium was determined to 2.1 A resolution using molecular replacement. This is an improvement on the existing 2.75 A resolution structure of the equivalent wild-type complex. The structure confirms that single phosphorylation of the activation loop on Thr288 is insufficient to stabilize a `fully active' conformation of the activation loop in the absence of binding to TPX2.

The structure of C290A:C393A Aurora A provides structural insights into kinase regulation.,Burgess SG, Bayliss R Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun. 2015 Mar 1;71(Pt 3):315-9. doi:, 10.1107/S2053230X15002290. Epub 2015 Feb 19. PMID:25760707<ref>PMID:25760707</ref>
