IPL1

PAC15, aurora kinase, L000000871, YPL209C
Aurora kinase of conserved chromosomal passenger complex; mediates release on mono-oriented kinetochores from microtubules in meiosis I, also release of kinetochores from cluster at SPBs at meiosis exit; helps maintain condensed chromosomes during anaphase, early telophase; required for SPB cohesion and prevention of multipolar spindle formation; Iocalizes to nuclear foci that diffuse upon DNA replication stress; required for inhibition of karyopherin Pse1p upon SAC arrest
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

VIK1

L000004276, YPL253C
Protein that forms a kinesin-14 heterodimeric motor with Kar3p; localizes Kar3p at mitotic spindle poles; has a structure similar to a kinesin motor domain but lacks an ATP-binding site and is catalytically inactive; binds microtubules; required for sister chromatid cohesion; VIK1 has a paralog, CIK1, that arose from the whole genome duplication

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Pericentromeric sister chromatid cohesion promotes kinetochore biorientation.

Ng TM, Waples WG, Lavoie BD, Biggins S

Accurate chromosome segregation depends on sister kinetochores making bioriented attachments to microtubules from opposite poles. An essential regulator of biorientation is the Ipl1/Aurora B protein kinase that destabilizes improper microtubule-kinetochore attachments. To identify additional biorientation pathways, we performed a systematic genetic analysis between the ipl1-321 allele and all nonessential budding yeast genes. One of the mutants, mcm21Delta, precociously separates pericentromeres ... [more]
