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

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.
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]
