Science Daily: Using the relatively simple clocks found in fruit flies, researchers reveal that the subcellular location of clock proteins and genes fluctuates with the daily passage of time, indicating that spatial information is translated into time-related signals.
University of Michigan researchers Yangbo Xiao, Ph.D., Ye Yuan, Ph.D., Swathi Yadlapalli, Ph.D. and their colleagues reveal that subcellular location of clock proteins and genes fluctuate with the daily passage of time, indicating that spatial information is translated into time-related signals.
“We can now visualize these proteins within Drosophila brains while the clocks are ticking,” said Yadlapalli, an assistant professor with the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Michigan Medicine.
