STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

boraAurora borealis (bora) encodes a binding partner of the product of aurA. It is required for spindle orientation and asymmetric cell division; Belongs to the BORA family. (539 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
polo
Serine/threonine-protein kinase polo; May play a role in regulating both nuclear and cytoplasmic aspects of the mitotic cycle. Regulates localization of the augmin complex during mitosis by ensuring its location on mitotic spindles. Also regulates augmin complex localization during male meiosis by promoting its placement at kinetochores while preventing its association with spindle microtubules ; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.
   
 0.982
aurA
Aurora A (aurA) encodes a protein kinase required for proper neuroblast self-renewal by regulating assymmetric protein localization. It contributes to spindle orientation, centrosome separation and pole cell formation.
   
 
 0.968
Cdk1
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) encodes a catalytic protein kinase subunit that can only become active after association with either CycA, CycB or CycB3 products. The protein kinase activities of these complexes (CycA-Cdk1, CycB-Cdk1, CycB3-Cdk1) control important aspects of progression through the cell cycle. Functionally, the different Cdk1 complexes are partially redundant. They phosphorylate hundreds of target proteins and are most important for progression into and through mitotic and meiotic M phases.
   
 
 0.900
CycB
G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-B; Cyclin B (CycB) encodes a protein that binds to Cdk1, thereby promoting Cdk1's protein kinase activity. The complex CycB-Cdk1 complex induces the start of mitosis. During late metaphase of mitosis and continuing in G1, the product of CycB is rapidly degraded (involving APC/C and the proteasome), resulting in inactivation of Cdk1 protein kinase activity, and allowing termination of mitosis.
   
 
 0.831
Incenp
Inner centromere protein (Incenp) encodes a component of the chromosomal passenger complex, acting as a subunit that targets and activates the product of aurB. It controls different processes during cell division, including regulation of chromosome structure, kinetochore-microtubule error correction, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis.
   
  
 0.822
mars
Mars (mars) encodes a microtubule-associated protein that shuttles between the mitotic spindle and the nucleus. It is required for mitotic spindle attachment to the centrosome; Belongs to the SAPAP family.
   
    0.718
BubR1
Bub1-related kinase (BubR1) encodes a motif-rich protein with a C-terminal serine-threonine kinase domain. During prometaphase and metaphase, it plays important roles in spindle assembly checkpoint signalling, stabilization of kinetochore-microtuble attachments and chromosome alignment. It is also essential to maintain sister-chromatid cohesion during meiotic progression and for normal maintenance of Synaptonemal Complex in females.
   
  
 0.709
aurB
Aurora B (aurB) encodes a serine-threonine kinase and member of the chromosomal passenger complex. It plays multiple roles in mitosis including the correction of erroneous chromosome-spindle interactions, chromosome condensation, kinetochore assembly, spindle assembly checkpoint and cytokinesis.
   
 
 0.657
borr
Borealin-related (borr) encodes one of the three targeting subunits for the product of aurB in the chromosomal passenger complex. It helps to target the complex to the centromere region of chromosomes and the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis. At centromeres the complex is involved both in pausing mitotic progression when there are chromosome mis-attachments and in correcting those mis-attachments. At the cleavage furrow, the complex is involved in regulating the process of abscission (cell separation).
   
  
 0.650
Map205
Microtubule-associated protein 205 (Map205) encodes a protein that binds and stabilizes microtubules. It also binds, inhibits and stabilizes the product of polo on microtubules during interphase.
