title: OLA1 in centrosome biology alongside the BRCA1/BARD1 complex: looking beyond centrosomes.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Chiba and colleagues (Matsuzawa et al., 2014) identify Obg-like ATPase 1 (OLA1) as an additional member of the BRCA1/BARD1/γ-tubulin complex that is critically involved in centrosome amplification and microtubule aster formation.
