The centriole duplication cycle.
Centrosomes are the main microtubule-organizing centre of animal cells and are important for many critical cellular and developmental processes from cell polarization to cell division. At the core of the centrosome are centrioles, which recruit pericentriolar material to form the centrosome and act as basal bodies to nucleate formation of cilia and flagella. Defects in centriole structure, func...
متن کاملCentriole Duplication: Centrin in on Answers?
Many aspects of centriole biology remain mysterious. A new study has shed light on the role of the centriolar protein centrin-2: reducing levels of centrin-2 in HeLa cells has been found to block centriole duplication, eventually leading to cell death.
متن کاملCentriole Duplication: When PLK4 Meets Ana2/STIL
Polo-like kinase 4 is known to drive centriole duplication, but the relevant substrate remains elusive. A new study shows that PLK4 phosphorylates a key centriolar component, Ana2/STIL, to initiate centriole assembly.
متن کاملMode of centriole duplication and distribution
Centriole stability and distribution during the mammalian cell cycle was studied by microinjecting biotinylated tubulin into early G1 cells and analyzing the pattern of incorporation into centrioles. Cells were extracted and cold treated to depolymerize labile microtubules, allowing the fluorescent microscopic visualization of the stable centrioles. The ability to detect single centrioles was c...
متن کاملPromotion and Suppression of Centriole Duplication Are Catalytically Coupled through PLK4 to Ensure Centriole Homeostasis
PLK4 is the major kinase driving centriole duplication. Duplication occurs only once per cell cycle, forming one new (or daughter) centriole that is tightly engaged to the preexisting (or mother) centriole. Centriole engagement is known to block the reduplication of mother centrioles, but the molecular identity responsible for the block remains unclear. Here, we show that the centriolar cartwhe...
