Crystal structures of the CPAP/STIL complex reveal its role in centriole assembly and human microcephaly

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Centrioles organise centrosomes and template cilia and flagella. Several centriole and centrosome proteins have been linked to microcephaly (MCPH), a neuro-developmental disease associated with small brain size. CPAP (MCPH6) and STIL (MCPH7) are required

TTBK2‐Driven Ciliogenesis Is Required for Intrinsic Neuronal Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
TTBK2‐dependent ciliogenesis is required for intrinsic neuronal regeneration after spinal cord injury. Loss of TTBK2 disrupts primary cilium integrity, attenuates SHH signaling, and impairs axonal regrowth. Restoring SHH activity partially rescues neuronal structural deficits, highlighting the TTBK2/cilium–SHH as a therapeutic target.

The mother centriole plays an instructive role in defining cell geometry.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2007
Centriole positioning is a key step in establishment and propagation of cell geometry, but the mechanism of this positioning is unknown. The ability of pre-existing centrioles to induce formation of new centrioles at a defined angle relative to ...

Geometry of Morphogenesis

open access: yes, 2014
We introduce a formalism for the geometry of eukaryotic cells and organisms.Cells are taken to be star-convex with good biological reason. This allows for a convenient description of their extent in space as well as all manner of cell surface gradients ...

Novel features of centriole polarity and cartwheel stacking revealed by cryo‐tomography

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Centrioles are polarized microtubule-based organelles that seed the formation of cilia, and which assemble from a cartwheel containing stacked ring oligomers of SAS-6 proteins.

The basal bodies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a biflagellated cell that can swim or glide. C. reinhardtii cells are amenable to genetic, biochemical, proteomic, and microscopic analysis of its basal bodies.

Stabilization of Cartwheel-less Centrioles for Duplication Requires CEP295-Mediated Centriole-to-Centrosome Conversion

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Vertebrate centrioles lose their geometric scaffold, the cartwheel, during mitosis, concurrently with gaining the ability to recruit the pericentriolar material (PCM) and thereby function as the centrosome.

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...
