From the How the events of mitosis are coordinated is not
well understood. Intriguing mitotic regulators include the
chromosomal passenger proteins. Loss of either of the
passengers inner centromere protein (INCENP) or the Aurora
B kinase results in chromosome segregation defects and
failures in cytokinesis. Furthermore, INCENP and Aurora B have
identical localization patterns during mitosis and directly bind each
other in vitro. These results led to the hypothesis that
INCENP is a direct substrate of Aurora B. Here we show that the
Caenorhabditis elegans Aurora B kinase AIR-2
specifically phosphorylated the C. elegans INCENP
ICP-1 at two adjacent serines within the carboxyl terminus.
Furthermore, the full length and a carboxyl-terminal fragment of ICP-1
stimulated AIR-2 kinase activity. This increase in AIR-2 activity
required that AIR-2 phosphorylate ICP-1 because mutation of both
serines in the AIR-2 phosphorylation site of ICP-1 abolished the
potentiation of AIR-2 kinase activity by ICP-1. Thus, ICP-1 is
directly phosphorylated by AIR-2 and functions in a positive feedback
loop that regulates AIR-2 kinase activity. Since the Aurora B
phosphorylation site within INCENP and the functions of INCENP and
Aurora B have been conserved among eukaryotes, the feedback loop we
have identified is also likely to be evolutionarily conserved.
