| Function: | Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle assembly. Involved in the bipolar attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores and is a key regulator for the onset of cytokinesis during mitosis. Required for central/midzone spindle assembly and cleavage furrow formation. Key component of the cytokinesis checkpoint, a process required to delay abscission to prevent both premature resolution of intercellular chromosome bridges and accumulation of DNA damage. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' of histone H3 during mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350965, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12221116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17199039}. | |

| Activity regulation: | Kinase activity is stimulated by both birc5/survivin-binding and cell-cycle specific phosphorylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350965, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12221116}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the CPC at least composed of survivin/birc5, incenp, cdca8/borealin and/or cdca9/dasra-A, and aurkb/aurora-B. Interacts directly (via N-terminus and kinase domain) with incenp (via C terminus), and may weakly interact (via N-terminus) with birc5.1 to stabilize the complex. Interacts with mtus1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10996078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12221116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12464631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12919681, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15260989, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15866179, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16322459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17199039}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Chromosomal until metaphase but transfers to the midzone microtubule array and the equatorial cortex during anaphase. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated, stimulates kinase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12221116}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Aurora subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00159}. | |
