Abstract

Background: Aurora B kinase (aurora B) and polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) are critical regulators of cytokinesis. Results: Phosphorylation of MyoGEF at Thr-544 by aurora B promotes the binding of Plk1 to MyoGEF. Conclusion: Phosphorylation of MyoGEF by aurora B creates a docking site for Plk1. Significance: Coordinated regulation of MyoGEF localization and activation by aurora B and Plk1 contributes to the regulation of cytokinesis.
