Pericentrin is a Kinesin-1 Activator that Drives Centriole Motility

The paper identifies Pericentrin-Like-Protein (PLP) as a Kinesin-1 activator that drives centriole motility during interphase.

Spd-2 Gene Duplication Suggests Cell-Type Specific Assembly Mechanisms of Pericentriolar Material

The paper identifies a Spd-2 gene duplication in Drosophila that leads to cell-type specific functions in pericentriolar material assembly during somatic and male germline cell divisions.

A molecular mechanism for the procentriole recruitment of Ana2

The paper identifies a mechanism by which Ana2/STIL is recruited to procentrioles through Sas4-mediated phosphorylation of Ana2's N-terminus.

Fascetto Interacting Protein (FIP) Regulates Fascetto (PRC1) to Ensure Proper Cytokinesis and Ploidy

This study identifies FIP as a regulator of Feo, showing that FIP is required for Feo localization and proper cytokinesis, with loss of both leading to cytokinesis defects and tumor-like masses.

An ordered pattern of Ana2 phosphorylation by Plk4 is required for centriole assembly

The paper shows that Plk4 phosphorylates Ana2 in an ordered pattern, essential for centriole assembly and integrity.

The centrosomin CM2 domain is a multi-functional binding domain with distinct cell cycle roles

This study identifies the CM2 domain of centrosomin as a multi-functional binding domain with distinct roles in cell cycle-dependent centrosome organization.
