A bioinformatic search was carried for plant homologues of human serine-threonine protein kinases involved in regulation of cell division and microtubule protein phosphorylation (SLK, PAK6, PAK7, MARK1, MAST2, TTBK1, TTBK2, AURKA, PLK1, PLK4 and PASK). A number of SLK, MAST2 and AURKA plant homologues were identified. The closest identified homologue of human AURKA kinase was a protein of unknown function, A7PY12/GSVIVT00026259001 from Vitis vinifera (herein named as "STALK", Serine-Threonine Aurora-Like Kinase). Analysis of STALK's three-dimensional structure confirmed its relationship to the subgroup of AURKA-like protein kinases.
