Regulated HsSAS-6 Levels Ensure Formation of a Single Procentriole per Centriole during the Centrosome Duplication Cycle

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that HsSAS-6 is necessary for centrosome formation and that it localizes asymmetrically next to the centriole at the onset of procentriole formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of procentriole formation

TL;DR: Recent findings are reviewed that provide important mechanistic insights into how a single procentriole forms next to each centriole once per cell cycle, thus ensuring that one centrosome becomes two.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inverted light-sheet microscope for imaging mouse pre-implantation development

TL;DR: An inverted light-sheet microscope is developed that is able to image mouse embryos from zygote to blastocyst, computationally track all cells and reconstruct a complete lineage tree of mouse pre-implantation development, and shows that the first cell fate specification occurs at the 16-cell stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spindle positioning in human cells relies on proper centriole formation and on the microcephaly proteins CPAP and STIL.

TL;DR: This work identifies CPAP protein domains crucial for its centriolar localization, as well as for the elongation and the formation of centrioles, and demonstrates that the MCPH protein SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus (STIL) is also essential for centriole formation and for proper spindle position.
