Abstract
Aurora kinases are key regulators of cell division and important targets for cancer therapy. We report that Binucleine 2 is a highly isoform-specific inhibitor of Drosophila Aurora B kinase, and we identify a single residue within the kinase active site that confers specificity for Aurora B. Using Binucleine 2, we show that Aurora B kinase activity is not required during contractile ring ingression, providing insight into the mechanism of cytokinesis.
