Journal ArticleDOI

Control of Centriole Length by CPAP and CP110

TL;DR: It is proposed that CPAP and CP110 play antagonistic roles in determining the extent of tubulin addition during centriole elongation, thereby controlling the length of newly formed centrioles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of mitotic kinesin-like protein 2 by polo-like kinase 1 is required for cytokinesis

TL;DR: It is proposed that phosphorylation of MKlp2 by PlK1 is necessary for the spatial restriction of Plk1 to the central spindle during anaphase and telophase, and the complex of these two proteins is required for cytokinesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

PICH, a Centromere-Associated SNF2 Family ATPase, Is Regulated by Plk1 and Required for the Spindle Checkpoint

TL;DR: It is proposed that PICH binds to catenated centromere-related DNA to monitor tension developing between sister kinetochores and is linked to cohesins or inhibition of topoisomerase II, suggesting that they represent stretched centromeric chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D-structured illumination microscopy provides novel insight into architecture of human centrosomes.

TL;DR: This study provides novel insights into the architecture of human centrosomes and illustrates the power of super-resolution microscopy in revealing the relative localization of centriole and PCM proteins in unprecedented detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a Survivin-Borealin-INCENP core complex reveals how chromosomal passengers travel together

TL;DR: This work determined the 1.4 A resolution crystal structure of the regulatory core of the CPC, revealing that Borealin and INCENP associate with the helical domain of Survivin to form a tight three-helical bundle.
