ABSTRACT Using coimmunoprecipitation and glutathioneS-transferase pulldown experiments, we found that polyomavirus large T antigen binds to p300 in vivo and in vitro. The N-terminal region of the viral protein, including the pRB binding motif, was dispensable for this interaction, which involved several regions within the C-terminal half of the large T antigen. Interestingly, anti-T antibody coimmunoprecipitated a subspecies of p300 which has high histone acetyltransferase activity.

Aurora kinases are a group of serine/threonine kinases responsible for the regulation of mitosis. In recent years, with the increase in Aurora kinase-related research, the important role of Aurora kinases in tumorigenesis has been gradually recognized. Aurora kinases have been regarded as a new target for cancer therapy, resulting in the development of Aurora kinase inhibitors. The study and application of these small-molecule inhibitors, especially in combination with chemotherapy drugs, represent a new direction in cancer treatment. This paper reviews studies on Aurora kinases from recent years, including studies of their biological function, their relationship with tumor progression, and their inhibitors.
