Description
Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis (PubMed:12707312, PubMed:11050385, PubMed:10983970, PubMed:9852156, PubMed:10354474, PubMed:10975519, PubMed:11050384). The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation (PubMed:12707312, PubMed:10983970). Required for histone H3 'Ser-10' phosphorylation (PubMed:9852156, PubMed:10354474, PubMed:10975519, PubMed:11050384, PubMed:11050385, PubMed:10983970, PubMed:12015116, PubMed:11940606). Phosphorylates tlk-1 at 'Ser-634', which enhances its activity (PubMed:15916946). Phosphorylates zen-4 at 'Ser-680'(PubMed:15854913). Required for the recruitment of bub-1 to the ring-shaped domain between chromosomes during meiotic anaphase I (PubMed:20729837). Also required for the localization of the condensin I complex subunit smc-4 to mitotic chromosomes (PubMed:11914278). Acts at the spindle midzone and the midbody to prevent cleavage furrow regression upon chromatin obstructions during cytokinesis (PubMed:12213836, PubMed:23684975).
