TLDR
The spatial aspects of the centrosome duplication cycle, the mechanism of centriole assembly and the possible consequences of the inherent asymmetry of Centrosomes and centrosomes are discussed.Abstract:
Centrosomes are microtubule-organizing centres of animal cells. They influence the morphology of the microtubule cytoskeleton, function as the base for the primary cilium and serve as a nexus for important signalling pathways. At the core of a typical centrosome are two cylindrical microtubule-based structures termed centrioles, which recruit a matrix of associated pericentriolar material. Cells begin the cell cycle with exactly one centrosome, and the duplication of centrioles is constrained such that it occurs only once per cell cycle and at a specific site in the cell. As a result of this duplication mechanism, the two centrioles differ in age and maturity, and thus have different functions; for example, the older of the two centrioles can initiate the formation of a ciliary axoneme. We discuss spatial aspects of the centrosome duplication cycle, the mechanism of centriole assembly and the possible consequences of the inherent asymmetry of centrioles and centrosomes.read more

TL;DR: Mitosis is a fundamental process during which the genetic material is transferred to daughter cells and is orchestrated by the mitotic spindle.

Centriolar and ciliary responses to DNA damage
TL;DR: The impact of irradiation-induced DNA damage on the structure of the centrosome is characterised and it is found that irradiation leads to the isolation of single centrioles, termed centriole splitting, and that this precedes DNA damage-induced centrosomes amplification.

TL;DR: Several proteins such as PARP, KIFC1, Hsp70, Cortical actin, APC/C-CDH1 complex and Eg5 have been discussed in this review which participate in centrosome clustering, and the inhibition of these proteins can facilitate in impeding tumor growth specifically by declustering centrosomes.

The primary cilium: a signalling centre during vertebrate development
TL;DR: The connections between cilia and developmental signalling have begun to clarify the basis of human diseases associated with ciliary dysfunction, and the cilium represents a nexus for signalling pathways during development.

A Mechanism Linking Extra Centrosomes to Chromosomal Instability
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cells with multiple centrosomes rarely undergo multipolar cell divisions, and the progeny of these divisions are typically inviable, and it is proposed that this mechanism may be a common underlying cause of CIN in human cancer.

TL;DR: A mass-spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of human centrosomes in the interphase of the cell cycle by quantitatively profiling hundreds of proteins across several centrifugation fractions identified and validated 23 novel components and identified 41 likely candidates as well as the vast majority of the known centrosomal proteins in a large background of nonspecific proteins.

Cleavage of Cohesin by the CD Clan Protease Separin Triggers Anaphase in Yeast
TL;DR: It is shown here that separin is a cysteine protease related to caspases that alone can cleave Sccl in vitro and depends on a conserved protein called separin for sister chromatid separation.
