The centrosome and parthenogenesis

1999
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functional description of the centrosome as well as two main aspects of centrosome reproduction and the parthenogenetic activity of the centrosome: (1) the molecular mechanisms underlying centrosome biogenesis itself and (2) the coordination between the nuclear cycle and the centrosome cycle.

Centrosomes in Reproduction

2022
Centrosome functions are vitally important for all aspects of reproduction with essential functions during meiosis, fertilization, cell division, centrosome remodeling during cellular polarization for tissue formation, and all stages of subsequent embryo development.

The Centrosome Cycle

2006
Centrosomes are dynamic organelles involved in many aspects of cell function and growth. Centrosomes act as microtubule organizing centers, and provide a site for concerted regulation of cell cycle progression. While there is diversity in microtubule organizing center structure among eukaryotes, many centrosome components, such as centrin, are ...

Centrosomes and parthenogenesis

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the parthenogenetic assay and reviews the results concerning the capacity of centrosomes isolated from different cell types in different species to induce frog egg cleavage. The chapter discusses the potential of current in vitro systems to identify important molecular events of the pathway and also ...

Centrosome biogenesis and function: centrosomics brings new understanding [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2007
Centrosomes, which were first described in the late 19th century, are found in most animal cells and undergo duplication once every cell cycle so that their number remains stable, like the genetic material of a cell. However, their function and regulation have remained elusive and controversial. Only recently has some understanding of these fundamental

No centriole, no centrosome

Trends in Cell Biology, 1999
The centriole is a cylinder of nine triplet microtubules found at the core of the centrosome. The location of centrioles within the centrosome has always seemed to suggest a role in centrosome function, but proof of this has remained elusive. In part, this is due to the lack of convenient methods to remove centrioles specifically.

Centrosome maturation

1999
In the past, centrosome maturation has been described as the change in microtubule nucleation potential that occurs as cells pass through specific phases of the cell cycle. It is suggested that the idea of centrosome maturation be expanded to include gain of functions that are not necessarily related to microtubule nucleation.

Centrosomal TACCtics

BioEssays, 2002
AbstractAlthough the centrosome was first described over 100 years ago, we still know relatively little of the molecular mechanisms responsible for its functions. Recently, members of a novel family of centrosomal proteins have been identified in a wide variety of organisms.

Centrosome number is controlled by a centrosome-intrinsic block to reduplication

Nature Cell Biology, 2003
The centrosome duplicates once in S phase. To determine whether there is a block in centrosome reduplication, we used a cell fusion assay to compare the duplication potential of unduplicated G1 centrosomes and recently duplicated G2 centrosomes. By fusing cells in different cell cycle stages, we found that G2 centrosomes were unable to reduplicate in a

Centrosome competition: A possibility?

Experimental Cell Research, 1990
A recent theory on the evolution of sexuality, has hypothesized heritable variation in the functional properties of centrosomes, leading to competition for the organization of the mitotic spindle when different centrosomes enter a common cytoplasm.
