Abstract

The mitotic kinase Aurora A has been shown to regulate the anterior-posterior polarity in developing Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. In a new study, Daniel Dickinson and colleagues find that Aurora A has temporally distinct roles in coordinating the localization of Partitioning defective (PAR) proteins to establish cell polarity during development. To find out more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Nadia Manzi and corresponding author Daniel Dickinson, Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
