Regulation of centrosome size by the cell-cycle oscillator in Drosophila embryos

SS Wong, A Wainman, S Saurya, JW Raff - The EMBO Journal, 2024 - embopress.org

material (PCM) around themselves. In early C. elegans embryos, mitotic centrosome size …

Centrosomal protein of 192 kDa (Cep192) promotes centrosome-driven spindle assembly by engaging in organelle-specific Aurora A activation

V Joukov, A De Nicolo, A Rodriguez… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Centrosomes are primary microtubule (MT)-organizing centers (MTOCs). During mitosis,
they dramatically increase their size and MT-nucleating activity and participate in spindle …

Molecular insight into how γ-TuRC makes microtubules

A Thawani, S Petry - Journal of cell science, 2021 - journals.biologists.com
As one of four filament types, microtubules are a core component of the cytoskeleton and are
essential for cell function. Yet how microtubules are nucleated from their building blocks, the …

Importance of the CEP215-pericentrin interaction for centrosome maturation during mitosis

S Kim, K Rhee - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
At the onset of mitosis, the centrosome undergoes maturation, which is characterized by a
drastic expansion of the pericentriolar material (PCM) and a robust increase in microtubule …

Centriole and PCM cooperatively recruit CEP192 to spindle poles to promote bipolar spindle assembly

T Chinen, K Yamazaki, K Hashimoto, K Fujii… - Journal of Cell …, 2021 - rupress.org
The pericentriolar material (PCM) that accumulates around the centriole expands during
mitosis and nucleates microtubules. Here, we show the cooperative roles of the centriole …

Pattern formation in centrosome assembly

R Mahen, AR Venkitaraman - Current opinion in cell biology, 2012 - Elsevier
A striking but poorly explained feature of cell division is the ability to assemble and maintain
organelles not bounded by membranes, from freely diffusing components in the cytosol. This …
