For our next Journal Club, our summer undergraduate researcher Josh Johnson will present the following paper:
Aurora B dynamics at centromeres create a diffusion-based phosphorylation gradient. Wang E, Ballister ER, Lampson MA. J Cell Biol. 2011 Aug 22;194(4):539-49. PMID: 21844210.
Centromeres (CB-mCherry) and chromosomes (YFP emission) for a single time point. (bottom) Color-coded YFP/CFP emission ratio at different time points. The timestamp (minutes and seconds) is relative to ZM washout at t = 0. Bar, 5 µm.
