Site-specific phosphorylation of ZYG-1 regulates ZYG-1 stability and centrosome number
Summary: Spindle bipolarity is critical for genomic integrity. As centrosome number often dictates bipolarity, tight control of centrosome assembly is vital for faithful cell division.

Primary cilia are key regulators of embryo development and tissue homeostasis. However, their mechanisms and functions, particularly in the context of human cells, are still unclear.

Centrosomal and Non-centrosomal Functions Emerged through Eliminating Centrosomes
Centrosomes are highly conserved organelles that act as the major microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) in animal somatic cells. Through their MTOC activity, centrosomes play various roles throughout the cell cycle, such as supporting cell migration in interphase and spindle organization and positioning in mitosis.

A catalog of numerical centrosome defects in epithelial ovarian cancers
Centrosome amplification, the presence of more than two centrosomes in a cell is a common feature of most human cancer cell lines. However, little is known about centrosome numbers in human cancers and whether amplification or other numerical aberrations

Rab11 endosomes and Pericentrin coordinate centrosome movement during pre-abscission in vivo
Cell division completes when the two daughter cells move their oldest centrosome towards the cytokinetic bridge, which is then cleaved during abscission.

The Golgi complex of mammalian cells is organized in a ribbon-like structure often closely associated with the centrosome during interphase. Conversely, the Golgi complex assumes a fragmented and dispersed configuration away from the centrosome during ...

Centrosome-phagy: implications for human diseases
Autophagy is a prominent mechanism to preserve homeostasis and the response to intracellular or extracellular stress. Autophagic degradation can be selectively targeted to dysfunctional subcellular compartments.

Summary: Centrosomal protein 120 (CEP120) is a 120 kDa centrosome protein that plays an important role in centrosome replication. Overexpression of CEP120 can lead to centrosome duplicate abnormality, which is closely associated with tumorigenesis and ...

Rootletin forms centriole-associated filaments and functions in centrosome cohesion [PDF]
After duplication of the centriole pair during S phase, the centrosome functions as a single microtubule-organizing center until the onset of mitosis, when the duplicated centrosomes separate for bipolar spindle formation.

Characterising the function of CDK5RAP2 in the vertebrate centrosome [PDF]
The centrosome is the major microtubule organising centre in vertebrate cells. CDK5RAP2 is a human protein that localises to the centrosome. At the start of this thesis work, the function of CDK5RAP2 was uncharacterised.
