Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In mammals, proteins containing BIR domains (IAPs and survivin) are implicated in inhibiting apoptosis and sister chromatid separation. In the nematode, Bir1 is required for a proper localization of aurora kinase, which moves from the mitotic chromosome in metaphase to the spindle midzone in anaphase as a passenger. Fission yeast Bir1/Pbh1 is essential for normal mitosis. RESULTS: A temperature...
