Centrosome function and assembly in animal cells
- Centrosomes are not essential for cell division in most animal cells, although they contribute to the efficiency of mitotic spindle assembly.
- Centrosome loss is tolerated surprisingly well in fly cells, but it normally induces a p53-dependent block to proliferation or apoptosis in vertebrate cells.
- Centrosome dysfunction in humans may promote cancer by increasing levels of chromosomal instability and/or the metastatic potential of cancer cells, although strong genetic evidence for this link is lacking.
- Strong genetic evidence links centrosome dysfunction to microcephaly and primordial dwarfism in humans, although the reasons for this link are unclear.
- There have been dramatic recent advances in our molecular understanding of how centrioles and centrosomes assemble.
- In flies and in worms, the SPD2 and Polo or Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) proteins cooperate with Cnn (in flies) or SPD-5 (in worms), to drive the assembly of a scaffold structure around the mother centriole during mitosis that functions to recruit other proteins to the mitotic centrosome.
