“…AURKA has been implicated in deciliation in Chlamydomonas (Pan et al, 2004) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE)1 cells, where AURKA has been shown to be activated by HEF1 to promote activation of HDAC6, causing deacetylation and destabilization of axonemal microtubules (Pugacheva et al, 2007), although the importance of HDAC6 for deciliation has been questioned (Goto et al, 2013). Subsequent reports have confirmed the role of AURKA in deciliation and identified additional factors that regulate its activity, including calmodulin (CaM) (Plotnikova et al, 2012), PLK1 (Lee et al, 2012), Pitchfork (Kinzel et al, 2010), Trichoplein (Inoko et al, 2012) and Peroxiredoxin 1 (Gong et al, 2014).…”
