A protocol for generation and live-cell imaging analysis of primary cilia reporter cell lines
Summary: Primary cilia are hair-like sensory organelles protruding from the surface of most human cells. As cilia are dynamic, several aspects of their biology can only be revealed by real-time analysis in living cells. Here we describe the generation of

IFT proteins spatially control the geometry of cleavage furrow ingression and lumen positioning
Cytokinesis relies on central spindle organization and provides a spatial landmark for lumen formation. Here, the authors show that intraflagellar transport proteins are required for the localization of the cytokinetic regulator Aurora B and subsequent ...

Centrosome loss or amplification does not dramatically perturb global gene expression in Drosophila
Summary Centrosome defects are a common feature of many cancers, and they can predispose fly brain cells to form tumours. In flies, centrosome defects perturb the asymmetric division of the neural stem cells, but it is unclear how this might lead to ...

The Identification and Functional Analysis of mRNA Localizing to Centrosomes
Centrosomes are multifunctional organelles tasked with organizing the microtubule cytoskeleton required for genome stability, intracellular trafficking, and ciliogenesis.

The centrosome is the major microtubule‐organizing center of animal cells. It influences cell shape and polarity and directs the formation of the bipolar mitotic spindle. Numerical and structural centrosome aberrations have been implicated in disease, notably cancer.

Maintaining centrosomes and cilia [PDF]
ABSTRACT Centrosomes and cilia are present in organisms from all branches of the eukaryotic tree of life. These structures are composed of microtubules and various other proteins, and are required for a plethora of cell processes such as structuring the cytoskeleton, sensing the environment, and motility.

The timing of centrosome separation and the distance moved apart influence the formation of the bipolar spindle, affecting chromosome stability. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling induces early centrosome separation through downstream G ...

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 ...

Influence of M-phase chromatin on the anisotropy of microtubule asters [PDF]
In many eukaryotic cells going through M-phase, a bipolar spindle is formed by microtubules nucleated from centrosomes. These microtubules, in addition to being "captured" by kinetochores, may be stabilized by chromatin in two different ways: short-range
