PLK1 phosphorylation of pericentrin initiates centrosome maturation at the onset of mitosis
Kwanwoo Lee,Kunsoo Rhee +1 more
TL;DR: PLK1-mediated phosphorylation of pericentrin induces proper organization of the spindle pole–specific pericentriolar matrix and subsequent centrosome maturation in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical recruitment of Plk4 and regulation of centriole biogenesis by two centrosomal scaffolds, Cep192 and Cep152.
Taesung Kim,Jung-Eun Park,Anil Kumar Shukla,Sunho Choi,Ravichandran N. Murugan,Jin H. Lee,Mija Ahn,Kunsoo Rhee,Jeong K. Bang,Bo Y. Kim,Jadranka Loncarek,Raymond L. Erikson,Kyung S. Lee +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Plk4 dynamically localizes to distinct subcentrosomal regions by interacting with two hierarchically regulated scaffolds, Cep192 and Cep152, and that Cep 192 and CEP152 serve as two distinct scaffolds that recruit Plk 4 to centrosomes in a hierarchical order.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat stress response of male germ cells
TL;DR: The effects of heat on male germ cells are reviewed and the mechanisms underlying germ cell loss and impairment are discussed and the role of translational control inmale germ cells is discussed as a potential protective mechanism against heat-induced germ cell apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The NIMA-related kinase 2, Nek2, is expressed in specific stages of the meiotic cell cycle and associates with meiotic chromosomes
Kunsoo Rhee,Debra J. Wolgemuth +1 more
TL;DR: The expression of Nek2 in meiotic prophase is consistent with the hypothesis that in vivo, Nek2 is involved in the G2/M phase transition of the cell cycle, as well as in an in vitro experimental setting in which meiotic chromosome condensation was induced with okadaic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separase-dependent cleavage of pericentrin B is necessary and sufficient for centriole disengagement during mitosis.
Kwanwoo Lee,Kunsoo Rhee +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that pericentrin B (PCNTB) is specifically cleaved by separase at the exit of mitosis, which concludes that the separase-dependent cleavage of PCNTB is necessary and sufficient for centriole disengagement during mitosis.
