This paper describes an interesting observation of an anaphase phosphorylation gradient at the spindle midzone using a FRET-based aurora B kinase activity reporter. This phosphorylation gradient is proposed to provide important spatial cues for various mitotic events.

Using an activity reporter for PKA, differential regulation of PKA activities by different β-AR subtypes has been visualized in living cardiac myocytes. Findings from this study have shed light on distinct biological consequences due to spatiotemporal regulation of cAMP/PKA signaling in cardiac myocytes.
