Formation of one procentriole next to each pre-existing centriole is essential for centrosome duplication, robust bipolar spindle assembly and maintenance of genome integrity. However, the mechanisms maintaining strict control over centriole copy number are incompletely understood. Here we show that Plk4 and STIL, the key regulators of centriole formation, form a protein complex that provides a scaffold for recruiting HsSAS-6, a major component of the centriolar cartwheel, at the onset of procentriole formation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of STIL by Plk4 facilitates the STIL/HsSAS-6 interaction and centriolar loading of HsSAS-6. We also provide evidence that negative feedback by centriolar STIL regulates bimodal centriolar distribution of Plk4 and seemingly restricts occurrence of procentriole formation to one site on each parental centriole. Overall, these findings suggest a mechanism whereby coordinated action of three critical factors ensures formation of a single procentriole per parental centriole.

Biallelic Variants in LRRC45 Impair Ciliogenesis and Cause a Severe Neurological Disorder.

Leucine - rich repeat containing 45 protein (LRRC45) protein localizes at the proximal end of centrioles and forms a component of the proteinaceous linker between them, with an important role in centrosome cohesion. In addition, a pool of it localizes at the distal appendages of the modified parent centriole that forms the primary cilium and it has essential functions in the establishment of the transition zone and axonemal extension during early ciliogenesis. Here, we describe three individuals from two unrelated families with severe central nervous system anomalies.

Article Synopsis
- - CCP110 (centriolar coiled coil protein 110) is a crucial protein in the centrosome that aids in cell cycle regulation and the start of ciliogenesis, but no congenital disorders linked to it have been identified in humans until now.
- - Mice lacking functional Ccp110 show numerous organ defects that mimic human "ciliopathies," indicating a possible connection between mutant CCP110 and severe health issues.
- - A 7-month-old boy with growth failure and skeletal anomalies was found to have two harmful variants of CCP110, suggesting that CCP110 mutations may cause similar developmental disorders in humans.

Neural Precursor Cell Expressed Developmentally Down-Regulated Protein 1 (NEDD1) serves as a crucial factor in promoting cellular mitosis by directly facilitating wheel assembly and daughter centriole biogenesis at the lateral site of parent centrioles, ultimately driving centrosome replication. The amplification of centrosomes and the abnormal expression of centrosome-associated proteins contribute to the invasion and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer cells. However, the specific mechanism by which NEDD1 contributes to the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unexplored.

Article Synopsis
- Dysregulation of centrosome duplication in animal cells causes issues like abnormal spindle formation and chromosomal instability, linked to developmental problems and tumors.* -
- Researchers discovered a protein called CCDC102A that helps prevent centrosome overduplication by limiting certain interactions at the centrosome, ensuring proper spindle formation.* -
- CCDC102A also plays a role in centrosome cohesion by interacting with C-Nap1, but is removed during mitosis through a phosphorylation process, highlighting the importance of precise centrosome regulation throughout the cell cycle.*
