    basic FUNCTION
  • positive regulator of proteolysis
  • could be a potential useful target gene for anti-tumor drugs
  • involved in the destabilization of Aurora-A through the proteasome-dependent degradation pathway (Lim (2007)
  • functions in stabilizing rather than destabilizing Aurora-A (Katayama 2007)
  • promotes proteasome-dependent Aurora-A degradation through an Ub-independent mechanism (Lim 2007)
  • palying a a role for AIP in G2/M cell cycle progression by cooperatively regulating protein stabilization of its up-stream regulator, Aurora-A kinase through protein-protein interaction as well as protein phosphorylation (Katayama 2007)

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with aurora A (targets Aurora-A for degradation in a proteasome-dependent but Ub (ubiquitin)-independent manner and inhibits polyubiquitination of Aurora-A)(Lim 2007)
  • negative regulator of Aurora-A, and a binding partner of GSK-3beta (GSK-3beta modulates the early mitotic Aurora-A level through binding and phosphorylating AURKAIP1)(Fumoto 2008)
  • interacting with OAZ1 (might function upstream of the OAZ1 by enhancing the binding affinity of OAZ1 to Aurora-A to promote recognition, targeting to proteasome and subsequent degradation) (Lim 2007)
