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 ...

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 ...

Centrosome instability: when good centrosomes go bad

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2021
The centrosome is a tiny cytoplasmic organelle that organizes and constructs massive molecular machines to coordinate diverse cellular processes. Due to its many roles during both interphase and mitosis, maintaining centrosome homeostasis is essential to normal health and development. Centrosome instability, divergence from normal centrosome number and

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.

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.

Centrosomes and The Cell Cycle

Journal of Cell Science, 1989
ABSTRACT Centrosomes are the ensemble of organelles that form the poles of the mitotic spindle. We have examined the properties of the mechanisms that control the precise doubling, or reproduction, of centrosomes during the cell cycle. A functional analysis of this event in sea urchin eggs indicates that it is limited by the reproduction

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

Computational centrosomics: An approach to understand the dynamic behaviour of centrosome

Gene, 2012
Centrosomes are the key regulating element of cell cycle progression. Aberrations in their functional mechanism leads to several cancer related disorders. Although genomic studies in the field of centrosome have been extensively carried out, with the lack of structural conformation, the proteomic analysis of pathological genetic mutation is still a ...

Centrosome biogenesis and function: centrosomics brings new understanding

Nature 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
