The Aurora B abscission checkpoint delays cytokinesis until resolution of DNA trapped in the cleavage furrow. This process involves PKC epsilon phosphorylation of Aurora B S227. Assessing if this PKC epsilon-Aurora B module provides a more widely exploited genome-protective control for the cell cycle, we show Aurora B phosphorylation at S227 by PKC epsilon also occurs during mitosis. Expression of Aurora B S227A phenocopies inhibition of PKC epsilon in by-passing the delay and resolution at anaphase entry that is associated with non-disjunction and catenation of sister chromatids. Implementation of this anaphase delay is reflected in PKC epsilon activation following cell cycle dependent cleavage by caspase 7; knock-down of caspase 7 phenocopies PKC epsilon loss, in a manner rescued by ectopically expressing/generating a free PKC epsilon catalytic domain. Molecular dynamics indicates that Aurora B S227 phosphorylation induces conformational changes and this manifests in a profound switch in specificity towards S29 TopoII alpha phosphorylation, a response necessary for catenation resolution during mitosis.
