It is required for the stability of the bipolar mitotic spindle[1]. Relevance Borealin plays a key role in liver development, regeneration and tumorigenesis and may be a potential target for related liver diseases[2]. Structural highlights The interactions between BOR, survivin and INCENP involve a set of hydrophobic interactions formed by the three-helix bundle and links by [3].
