Legacy_information[Hodgkin JA] e2631 hermaphrodites are long, uncoordinated and sterile, usually with a conspicuous constriction in the mid-region of the body. Males grow poorly, male tail very abnormal, ME0.
[McDowall JS] Sterile adult
[C.elegansII] h289 : sterile adult (gonad tumorous mass). OA3: h408, h437, h812 (sterile adults). Cloned: partial cosmid rescue (C32E7); rescued to Mel. [KR]
[Bowerman BA] temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal, permissive = 15 C, restrictive = 25 C. cytokinesis defects

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionair-2 encodes an aurora/Ipl1-related serine/threonine protein kinase that affects embryonic viability and chromosome segregation during meiosis and mitosis and is required for cytokinesis; AIR-2 has two functions during mitosis, one in chromosome segregation, and a second, independent function in cytokinesis through ZEN-4; AIR-2 and ZEN-4 may act in parallel to a second pathway that includes CYK-1; AIR-2 phosphorylates two adjacent, evolutionarily conserved C-terminal serines of the inner centromere protein ICP-1; AIR-2 i modified in vitro by the GEI-17 E3 SUMO ligase; AIR-2 forms a robust complex with CSC-1, BIR-1, and ICP-1; air-2 is expressed highly in embryos, in the mature oocytes, spermatocytes, and extruded polar bodies.Paper_evidence (12)

Automated_descriptionEnables ATPase binding activity; kinesin binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome condensation; regulation of actomyosin contractile ring contraction; and spindle midzone assembly. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome and spindle midzone. Expressed in oocyte and sperm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); invasive ductal carcinoma; and prostate carcinoma in situ. Is an ortholog of human AURKB (aurora kinase B).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Remark[McDowall JS] Extrachromosomal array containing single cosmid generated, then manipulated genetically. Partial rescue: normally sterile adult with tumorous mass, develops to tumorless egg-laying adult, eggs do not develop or hatch.
testing swap around with sup-40, from 0.435 to 0.575
same as cyk-6 according to cgc4544 and email 114.
same as air-2 according to cgc4544 and email 114.
old_name cyk-6 becomes new_name air-2 from [Woollard A, Hodgkin JA, Schumacher J].
old_names let-603 and stu-7 had previously been identitifed with air-2.
