Centrosome Duplication: Suspending a License by Phosphorylating a Template

نویسنده

  • Kayoko Tanaka
چکیده

The phosphorylation status of Sfi1, a structural component of the yeast centrosome, governs the centrosome duplication cycle, raising the possibility that licensing of centrosome duplication occurs by modulating Sfi1, which potentially acts as a template for a new centrosome.

DNA replication licensing factor Cdc6 and Plk4 kinase antagonistically regulate centrosome duplication via Sas-6

Centrosome number is tightly controlled during the cell cycle to ensure proper spindle assembly and cell division. However, the underlying mechanism that controls centrosome number remains largely unclear. We show herein that the DNA replication licensing factor Cdc6 is recruited to the proximal side of the centrioles via cyclin A to negatively regulate centrosome duplication by binding and inh...

The arithmetic of centrosome biogenesis.

How do cells regulate centrosome number? A canonical duplication cycle generates two centrosomes from one in most proliferating cells. Centrioles are key to this process, and molecules such as centrins, SAS-4 and ZYG-1 govern daughter centriole formation. Cdk2 activity probably couples centrosome duplication with the S phase, and a licensing mechanism appears to limit centrosome duplication to ...

Controlling centrosome number: licenses and blocks.

Centrosomes organize microtubule structures in animal cells. The centrosome duplicates once per cell cycle in most dividing cells via a pathway that relies on a pre-existing centrosome. The molecular mechanism of this 'once and only once' control is not understood, and recent results show that centrosomes can also be assembled by a de novo pathway that bypasses this control. These results requi...

Targeting Polo - like Kinase 1 for the Treatment of Cancer

Plk1 levels start to rise significantly at the beginning of S phase, and peak after the G2/M transition [3]. Plk1 plays a critical role in centrosome maturation, kinetochore assembly, and bipolar spindle formation[4]. More importantly, Plk1 plays a key role in ensuring normal mitotic progression. It initiates mitotic entry and mitotic exit by phosphorylating Cyclin B, Cdc25c and by activating t...

Centrosome replication in hydroxyurea-arrested CHO cells expressing GFP-tagged centrin2.

Centrosome duplication is tightly coupled with the cell cycle and neither too many nor too few centrosomes are induced in a normal cell. To study how centrosome assembly is regulated, we analyzed the abnormal process of multiple centrosome replications in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells induced by hydroxyurea (HU), which is known to uncouple the centrosome cycle from the cell cycle. Green flu...
