Protein Phosphatase 1 Down Regulates ZYG-1 Levels to Limit Centriole Duplication. [PDF]
In humans perturbations of centriole number are associated with tumorigenesis and microcephaly, therefore appropriate regulation of centriole duplication is critical. The C.

Centriole Duplication: Centrin in on Answers? [PDF]
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.

Centrioles are submicron-scale, barrel-shaped organelles typically found in pairs, and play important roles in ciliogenesis and bipolar spindle assembly.

The SKP1-Cullin-F-box E3 ligase βTrCP and CDK2 cooperate to control STIL abundance and centriole number [PDF]
Deregulation of centriole duplication has been implicated in cancer and primary microcephaly. Accordingly, it is important to understand how key centriole duplication factors are regulated.

Centrioles duplicate when a mother centriole gives birth to a daughter that grows from its side. Polo-like-kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator of centriole duplication, is recruited symmetrically around the mother centriole, but it then concentrates at

Proper organization of intracellular assemblies is fundamental for efficient promotion of biochemical processes and optimal assembly functionality. Although advances in imaging technologies have shed light on how the centrosome is organized, how its ...

Centriole Duplication: When PLK4 Meets Ana2/STIL [PDF]
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.

In this study, Phan et al. show that PLK4 abundance is translationally controlled through conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ UTR of the mRNA and that Plk4 uORFs suppress Plk4 translation and prevent excess protein synthesis.

Mode of centriole duplication and distribution. [PDF]
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 ...

A Short CEP135 Splice Isoform Controls Centriole Duplication [PDF]
Centriole duplication is coordinated such that a single round of duplication occurs during each cell cycle. Disruption of this synchrony causes defects including supernumerary centrosomes in cancer and perturbed ciliary signaling [1-5]. To preserve the normal number of centrioles, the level, localization, and post-translational modification of ...
