Extensive programmed centriole elimination unveiled in C. elegans embryos
Centrioles are critical for fundamental cellular processes, including signaling, motility, and division. The extent to which centrioles are present after cell cycle exit in a developing organism is not known. The stereotypical lineage of Caenorhabditis ele ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2023Towards understanding centriole elimination
Centrioles are microtubule-based structures crucial for forming flagella, cilia and centrosomes. Through these roles, centrioles are critical notably for proper cell motility, signalling and division. Recent years have advanced significantly our understand ...
London2023TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin
Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf, Fernando Romero Balestra, Tessa Vivianne Averink, Alizée Buff
TRIM37 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase mutated in Mulibrey nanism, a disease with impaired organ growth and increased tumor formation. TRIM37 depletion from tissue culture cells results in supernumerary foci bearing the centriolar protein Centrin. Here, we chara ...
ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD2021Centriole foci persist in starfish oocytes despite Polo-like kinase 1 inactivation or loss of microtubule nucleation activity
Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron
Centrioles must be eliminated or inactivated from the oocyte to ensure that only the two functional centrioles contributed by the sperm are present in the zygote. Such removal can occur during oogenesis, as in Drosophila, where departure of Polo kinase fro ...
2020Trait-specific dispersal of bacteria in heterogeneous porous environments: from pore to porous medium scale
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Filippo Miele, David Scheidweiler
The dispersal of organisms controls the structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scales is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environment ...
