Genes Inhibited How is RNAi inhibition determined?
Gene Inhibited  B0207.4 (air-2)
Description of "B0207.4"  air-2 encodes an aurora/Ip11-related serine/threonine protein kinase that affects embryonic viability and chromosome segregation during meiosis and mitosis and is required for cytokinesis; AIR-2 has two functions during mitosis, one in chromosome segregation, and a second, independent function in cytokinesis through ZEN-4; AIR-2 and ZEN-4 may act in parallel to a second pathway that includes CYK-1; AIR-2 phosphorylates two adjacent, evolutionarily conserved C-terminal serines of the inner centromere protein ICP-1; AIR-2 forms a robust complex with CSC-1, BIR-1, and ICP-1; air-2 is expressed highly in embryos, in the mature oocytes, spermatocytes, and extruded polar bodies.
