From: Targeting AURKA in Cancer: molecular mechanisms and opportunities for Cancer therapy
An overview of AURKA-interacting proteins and AKIs. AURKA expression is regulated at transcriptional or post-transcriptional levels and AURKA activity is tightly controlled by numerous molecules. Once activated, AURKA interacts with and phosphorylates a wide variety of proteins serving as mitotic regulators, oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Selective AKIs and pan Aurora kinases inhibitors are developed and studied in preclinical or clinical evaluation
