TPX or not TPX?

Mol Cell. 2005 Aug 19;19(4):431-2. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2005.08.002.

Abstract

An Aurora A regulatory module has been identified in two different proteins: TPX2 in Xenopus laevis and TPXL-1 in C. elegans. The diverse roles of these two proteins in spindle assembly leave us to beckon the true C. elegans TPX2 ortholog to center stage.
