Building a Centriole

TLDR
Centrioles are the key foundation of centrosomes and cilia, yet a molecular understanding of how they form has only recently begun to emerge and two interacting proteins are involved in controlling the timing of centriole templating of the cilium.

Subdiffraction-resolution fluorescence microscopy reveals a domain of the centrosome critical for pericentriolar material organization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the pericentriolar material is organized into two main structural domains: a layer juxtaposed to the centriole wall, and proteins extending farther away from the Centrosome organized in a matrix, using SIM and STORM subdiffraction-resolution microscopies.

Once and only once: mechanisms of centriole duplication and their deregulation in disease

TL;DR: A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing centriole biogenesis is understood, opening up new possibilities for targeting these pathways in the context of human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of the 9-fold symmetry of centrioles.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the centriolar protein SAS-6 forms rod-shaped homodimers that interact through their N-terminal domains to form oligomers, which establish that such oligomerization is essential for centriole formation in C. elegans and human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulating the transition from centriole to basal body.

TL;DR: Recent findings have begun to shed light on pathways that regulate the conversion of centrioles to basal bodies and vice versa, and provide insights into how defects in the balance between centrosome and cilia function could promote ciliopathies and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structured illumination of the interface between centriole and peri-centriolar material.

TL;DR: Structured illumination microscopy reveals in Drosophila that, before clouds of PCM appear, its proteins are closely associated with interphase centrioles in two tube-like layers: an inner layer occupied by centriolar microtubules, Sas-4, Spd-2 and Polo kinase; and an outer layer comprising Pericentrin-like protein (Dplp), Asterless (Asl) and Plk4 kinase.

Plk4-Induced Centriole Biogenesis in Human Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that overexpression of Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4) in human cells induces centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each parental centriole, and that centrioles elongate through insertion of alpha-/beta-tubulin underneath a CP110 cap.

Asymmetric Inheritance of Mother Versus Daughter Centrosome in Stem Cell Division

TL;DR: It is shown that developmentally programmed asymmetric behavior and inheritance of mother and daughter centrosomes underlies the stereotyped spindle orientation and asymmetric outcome of stem cell divisions in the Drosophila male germ line.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cep97 and CP110 suppress a cilia assembly program.

TL;DR: P purified complexes associated with CP110, a protein that plays an essential role in centrosome duplication and cytokinesis, are purified and a previously uncharacterized protein, Cep97, that recruits CP110 to centrosomes is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-evaluating centrosome function.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence indicates that centrosomes might not be essential for spindle assembly, whereas recent data indicate that they might be important for initiating S phase and completing cytokinesis.

Centriole assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that centriole assembly is triggered by an upstream signal mediated by SPD-2 and ZYG-1 proteins, and further define a structural pathway for the assembly of daughter centrioles in other organisms.
