title: Ramping up mitosis: an AMPKα2-regulated signaling network promotes mitotic progression.
abstract: In the December 23rd issue of Molecular Cell, Banko et al. (2011) describe a chemical genetic screen that identified 28 novel AMPKα2 direct substrates. A subset of these substrates comprise a signaling network by which AMPK, seemingly independent of cellular energy status, promotes mitotic progression.
