PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...

The NLS3 Motif in TPX2 Regulates Spindle Architecture in Xenopus Egg Extracts
ABSTRACT A bipolar spindle composed of microtubules and many associated proteins functions to segregate chromosomes during cell division in all eukaryotes, yet both spindle size and architecture vary dramatically across different species and cell types.

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle
ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.

Dissecting the Structural Organization, Recruitment and Activation Mechanisms of Centrosomal γ‐TuRCs
ABSTRACT Visualizing human centrosomes using cryo‐electron tomography revealed the native structure and molecular organization of γ‐tubulin ring complexes (γ‐TuRCs). γ‐TuRCs localized to two distinct centrosomal pools, one in the pericentriolar material (PCM) and another in the centriole lumen, which is released during mitosis.
