Researchers release image of light-induced Aurora A clustering
Original: Light-induced clustering of Aurora A (IMAGE)
A new image released via EurekAlert shows light-induced clustering of Aurora A, a protein kinase involved in cell division. Optogenetic techniques allow researchers to trigger the protein to cluster on demand, offering a tool to study how its localization and activation regulate mitotic spindle formation and cell cycle progression in laboratory conditions.
Why now: The release showcases a new imaging technique that lets scientists control a key cell-division protein with light.
