Pericentrin-mediated SAS-6 recruitment promotes centriole assembly
The centrosome is composed of two centrioles surrounded by a microtubule-nucleating pericentriolar material (PCM). Although centrioles are known to regulate PCM assembly, it is less known whether and how the PCM contributes to centriole assembly. Here we

Dissecting the Structural Organization, Recruitment and Activation Mechanisms of Centrosomal γ-TuRCs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Visualizing human centrosomes using cryo‐electron tomography revealed the native structure and molecular organization of γ‐tubulin ring complexes (γ‐TuRCs). γ‐TuRCs localized to two distinct centrosomal pools, one in the pericentriolar material (PCM) and another in the centriole lumen, which is released during mitosis.

Flies without Centrioles [PDF]
Centrioles and centrosomes have an important role in animal cell organization, but it is uncertain to what extent they are essential for animal development. The Drosophila protein DSas-4 is related to the human microcephaly protein CenpJ and the C. elegans centriolar protein Sas-4.

The Drosophila Citrate Lyase Is Required for Cell Division during Spermatogenesis [PDF]
The Drosophila melanogaster DmATPCL gene encodes for the human ATP Citrate Lyase (ACL) ortholog, a metabolic enzyme that from citrate generates glucose-derived Acetyl-CoA, which fuels central biochemical reactions such as the synthesis of fatty acids ...

Nek2 kinase displaces distal appendages from the mother centriole prior to mitosis
Viol et al. show that the conserved Never-in-mitosis-A–related kinase-2 (Nek2) removes distal appendage components from the mother centriole prior to mitosis in every cell cycle.

Ccdc11 is a novel centriolar satellite protein essential for ciliogenesis and establishment of left-right asymmetry [PDF]
The establishment of left–right (L-R) asymmetry in vertebrates is dependent on the sensory and motile functions of cilia during embryogenesis. Mutations in CCDC11 disrupt L-R asymmetry and cause congenital heart disease in humans, yet the molecular and ...

Truncation of POC1A associated with short stature and extreme insulin resistance [PDF]
We describe a female proband with primordial dwarfism, skeletal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism, extreme dyslipidaemic insulin resistance and fatty liver associated with a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in POC1A, predicted to affect two of the three ...
