CC -!- FUNCTION: Mitotic serine/threonine kinases that contributes to the CC regulation of cell cycle progression. Associates with the CC centrosome and the spindle microtubules during mitosis and plays a CC critical role in various mitotic events including the CC establishment of mitotic spindle, centrosome duplication, CC centrosome separation as well as maturation, chromosomal CC alignment, spindle assembly checkpoint, and cytokinesis. Required CC for initial activation of CDK1 at centrosomes. Phosphorylates CC numerous target proteins, including ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, CDC25B, CC DLGP5, HDAC6, KIF2A, LATS2, NDEL1, PARD3, PPP1R2, PLK1, RASSF1, CC TACC3, p53/TP53 and TPX2. Regulates KIF2A tubulin depolymerase CC activity. Required for normal axon formation. Plays a role in CC microtubule remodeling during neurite extension. Important for CC microtubule formation and/or stabilization. Also acts as a key CC regulatory component of the p53/TP53 pathway, and particularly the CC checkpoint-response pathways critical for oncogenic transformation CC of cells, by phosphorylating and stabilizing p53/TP53. CC Phosphorylates its own inhibitors, the protein phosphatase type 1 CC (PP1) isoforms, to inhibit their activity. Necessary for proper CC cilia disassembly prior to mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11039908, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:11551964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12390251, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:13678582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14523000, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:14702041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14990569, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:15128871, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15147269, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:15987997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17125279, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:17360485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17604723, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056443, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18615013, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19351716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19357306, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19668197, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19812038, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:20643351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9606188}.

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle CC pole. Note=Detected at the neurite hillock in developing neurons CC (By similarity). Localizes at the centrosome in mitotic cells from CC early prophase until telophase, but also localizes to the spindle CC pole MTs from prophase to anaphase. Colocalized with SIRT2 at CC centrosome. Moves to the midbody during both telophase and CC cytokinesis. Associates with both the pericentriolar material CC (PCM) and centrioles. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in testis and weakly in CC skeletal muscle, thymus and spleen. Also highly expressed in CC colon, ovarian, prostate, neuroblastoma, breast and cervical CC cancer cell lines.

CC -!- PTM: Activated by phosphorylation at Thr-288; this brings about a CC change in the conformation of the activation segment. CC Phosphorylation at Thr-288 varies during the cell cycle and is CC highest during M phase. Autophosphorylated at Thr-288 upon TPX2 CC binding. Thr-288 can be phosphorylated by several kinases, CC including PAK and PKA. Protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) binds CC AURKA and inhibits its activity by dephosphorylating Thr-288 CC during mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-342 decreases the kinase CC activity. PPP2CA controls degradation by dephosphorylating Ser-51 CC at the end of mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11039908, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:11551964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12390251, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:13678582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14580337, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:14990569, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16246726, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18662907, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19668197}.
