Comparative Biology of Centrosomal Structures in Eukaryotes

Cells, 2018
The centrosome is not only the largest and most sophisticated protein complex within a eukaryotic cell, in the light of evolution, it is also one of its most ancient organelles.

Basal bodies across eukaryotes series: basal bodies in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea [PDF]

Cilia, 2016
The freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea has recently emerged as a valuable model system to study basal bodies (BBs) and cilia. Planarians are free-living flatworms that use cilia beating at the surface of their ventral epidermis for gliding along substrates. The ventral epidermis is composed of multiciliated cells (MCCs) that are similar to the

Sfr1, a Tetrahymena thermophila Sfi1 Repeat Protein, Modulates the Production of Cortical Row Basal Bodies

mSphere, 2016
Basal bodies are essential microtubule-based structures that template, anchor, and orient cilia at the cell surface. Cilia act primarily in the generation of directional fluid flow and sensory reception, both of which are utilized for a broad spectrum of

Fossilized skin reveals coevolution with feathers and metabolism in feathered dinosaurs and early birds [PDF]

, 2018
Feathers are remarkable evolutionary innovations that are associated with complex adaptations of the skin in modern birds. Fossilised feathers in non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds provide insights into feather evolution, but how associated ...

Disruption of the basal body protein POC1B results in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy [PDF]

, 2014
Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.317C>G [p.Arg106Pro]) in POC1B, encoding POC1 centriolar protein B, in three siblings with autosomal-recessive cone dystrophy or cone-rod dystrophy and compound-heterozygous POC1B mutations (c ...

Dzip1 and Fam92 form a ciliary transition zone complex with cell type specific roles in Drosophila

eLife, 2019
Cilia and flagella are conserved eukaryotic organelles essential for cellular signaling and motility. Cilia dysfunctions cause life-threatening ciliopathies, many of which are due to defects in the transition zone (TZ), a complex structure of the ciliary

Distribution of interstitial stem cells in Hydra [PDF]

, 1979
The distribution of interstitial stem cells along the Hydra body column was determined using a simplified cloning assay. The assay measures stem cells as clone-forming units (CFU) in aggregates of nitrogen mustard inactivated Hydra tissue.

Noncanonical Biogenesis of Centrioles and Basal Bodies [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2017
Centrioles and basal bodies (CBBs) organize centrosomes and cilia within eukaryotic cells. These organelles are composed of microtubules and hundreds of proteins performing multiple functions such as signaling, cytoskeleton remodeling, and cell motility.

The ciliopathy-associated CPLANE proteins direct basal body recruitment of intraflagellar transport machinery

Nature Genetics, 2016
Cilia use microtubule-based intraflagellar transport (IFT) to organize intercellular signaling. Ciliopathies are a spectrum of human diseases resulting from defects in cilia structure or function.
