Aurora A depletion reveals centrosome-independent polarization mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Kerstin Klinkert Fabbri, Lukas von Tobel, Christian Gentili, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron, Sarah Herrman

How living systems break symmetry in an organized manner is a fundamental question in biology. In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes, symmetry breaking during anterior-posterior axis specification is guided by centrosomes, resulting in anterior-direc ...

Mechanisms of differential centriole inheritance in C. elegans

Lukas von Tobel

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated to ensure bipolar spindle formation and thus fait ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Simon Blanchoud, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...

Analysis of centriole elimination during C. elegans oogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Graham Knott, Petr Strnad, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrosomes are the principal microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) of animal cells and comprise a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). Centriole number must be carefully regulated, notably to ensure bipolar spindle formation an ...
