Centrioles generate two scaffolds with distinct biophysical properties to build mitotic centrosomes

S.-S. Wong, J. M. Monteiro, C.-C. Chang, M. Peng, N. Mohamad, T. L. Steinacker, S. Saurya, A. Wainman, J. W. Raff

The paper shows that Spd-2 recruits Polo and Aurora A to form two distinct scaffolds, Cnn-scaffold and TACC-scaffold, which are essential for mitotic centrosome assembly in Drosophila.

Cdk/Cyclin activity helps set mitotic centrosome size by influencing the centrosome growth rate and growth period

S.-S. Wong, A. Wainman, S. Saurya, J. W. Raff

The paper shows that Cdk/Cyclin activity regulates mitotic centrosome size by modulating growth rate and period in Drosophila embryos.

Centriole distal-end proteins CP110 and Cep97 influence centriole cartwheel growth at the proximal-end

M. G. Aydogan, L. E. Hankins, T. L. Steinacker, M. Mofatteh, S. Saurya, A. Wainman, S.-S. Wong, X. Lu, F. Y. Zhou, J. W. Raff

The paper shows that CP110 and Cep97 at the distal end of centrioles influence cartwheel growth at the proximal end through interactions with Plk4 oscillations.

Centriole growth is not limited by a finite pool of components, but is limited by the Cdk1/Cyclin-dependent phosphorylation of Ana2/STIL

T. L. Steinacker, S.-S. Wong, Z. A. Novak, S. Saurya, L. Gartenmann, E. J. H. van Houtum, J. R. Sayers, B. C. Lagerholm, J. W. Raff

The paper shows that centriole growth in Drosophila embryos is not limited by component availability but by Cdk1/Cyclin-dependent phosphorylation of Ana2/STIL, which regulates growth timing.

Mother centrioles generate a local pulse of Polo/PLK1 activity to initiate mitotic centrosome assembly

An autonomous oscillator times and executes centriole biogenesis

M. G. Aydogan, T. L. Steinacker, M. Mofatteh, L. Gartenmann, A. Wainman, S. Saurya, S. S. Wong, F. Y. Zhou, M. A. Boemo, J. W. Raff

The paper identifies an autonomous Plk4 oscillator at the base of growing centrioles in Drosophila embryos that times and sets centriole biogenesis duration, independent of the cell cycle.
