    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. polar clearing is an active process that requires activation of Aurora A kinase by TPXL-1. TPXL-1 concentrates on astral microtubules coincident with polar clearing in anaphase, and its ability to recruit Aurora A and activate its kinase activity are essential for clearing.
      Title: TPXL-1 activates Aurora A to clear contractile ring components from the polar cortex during cytokinesis.
    2. Centrosome size sets mitotic spindle length by controlling the length scale of a TPXL-1 gradient along spindle microtubules.
      Title: Centrosome size sets mitotic spindle length in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos.
    3. Activation and targeting of Aurora A appears to be an ancient and conserved function of TPX2 that plays a central role in mitotic spindle assembly.
      Title: An essential function of the C. elegans ortholog of TPX2 is to localize activated aurora A kinase to mitotic spindles.
