== 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 ==
The Aurora family of serine/threonine kinases is essential for mitosis. Their crucial role in cell cycle regulation and aberrant expression in a broad range of malignancies have been demonstrated and have prompted intensive search for small molecule Aurora inhibitors. Indeed, several of them have reached the clinic as potential anticancer therapies. We report herein the discovery and optimization of a novel series of tricyclic molecules that has led to SAR156497, an exquisitely selective Aurora A-C inhibitor with in vitro and in vivo efficacy. We also provide insights into its mode of binding to its target proteins, which could explain its selectivity.
