Cell Motil Cytoskeleton
. 2009 Sep;
66(12):1100-5.
PMID: 19746415
Centrioles are microtubule-based cylindrical organelles with a 9-fold symmetry. They are essential for axoneme formation in cilia and flagella and for centrosome organization. In the basal hexapods Acerentomon microrhinus, we...

. 2007 Apr;
316(5827):1046-50.
PMID: 17463247
Centrioles duplicate once in each cell division cycle through so-called templated or canonical duplication. SAK, also called PLK4 (SAK/PLK4), a kinase implicated in tumor development, is an upstream regulator of...

Curr Biol
. 2005 Dec;
15(24):2199-207.
PMID: 16326102
Background: SAK/PLK4 is a distinct member of the polo-like kinase family. SAK-/- mice die during embryogenesis, whereas SAK+/- mice develop liver and lung tumors and SAK+/- MEFs show mitotic abnormalities....

Biol Cell
. 2001 Jun;
91(4-5):355-66.
PMID: 11407409
Centrosome biogenesis is unclear, although much structural and biochemical research has been performed in several experimental systems. An alternative model to study the assembly of functional centrosomes could be the...

J Cell Sci
. 2000 Aug;
113 ( Pt 18):3341-50.
PMID: 10954431
The meiotic spindle of Drosophila oocytes is acentriolar but develops an unusual central microtubule organising centre (MTOC) at the end of meiosis I. In polo oocytes, this common central pole...

J Cell Biol
. 1998 Nov;
143(3):659-71.
PMID: 9813088
A number of lines of evidence point to a predominance of cytokinesis defects in spermatogenesis in hypomorphic alleles of the Drosophila polo gene. In the pre-meiotic mitoses, cytokinesis defects result...

PMID: 9732281
The Nup154 gene of Drosophila encodes a protein showing similarity with known nucleoporins: rat Nup155 and yeast Nup170 and Nup157. Hypomorphic mutant alleles of Nup154 affected female and male fertility,...

Dev Biol
. 1998 Apr;
195(2):89-99.
PMID: 9520327
The origin of the zygotic centrosome is an important step in developmental biology. It is generally thought that sperm at fertilization plays a central role in forming the functional centrosome...

Eur J Cell Biol
. 1998 Apr;
75(1):21-8.
PMID: 9523151
Evidence of a distinct microtubule organizing center in the meiotic apparatus of the fertilized Drosophila egg is provided by means of specific antibodies. This center contained gamma-tubulin and CP190 antigens...

PMID: 9291480
The aim of the present study was to investigate the implication of protein kinase C (PKC) in the mouse egg activation process. We used OAG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) as a PKC activator,...
