Regulation of Spindle Assembly
Aurora A is required for proper spindle assembly and separation. There have been identified many proteins necessary for the mitotic spindle assembly. Lamin B is not an essential protein for spindle assembly. It is only a component of the spindle matrix helping microtubule assembly, since proper mitotic spindle can be formed without it.
Polo-like kinase, also known as PLK, especially PLK1 has important roles in the spindle maintenance by regulating microtubule dynamics.
