High-speed photothermal off-resonance atomic force microscopy reveals assembly routes of centriolar scaffold protein SAS-6

Pierre Gönczy, Georg Fantner, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Niccolo Banterle, Santiago Harald Andany

The self-assembly of protein complexes is at the core of many fundamental biological processes1, ranging from the polymerization of cytoskeletal elements, such as microtubules2, to viral capsid formation and organelle assembly3. To reach a comprehensive un ...

Cell-free reconstitution reveals centriole cartwheel assembly mechanisms

Pierre Gönczy, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Paul Guichard, Mircea Ioan Iacovache, Virginie Hamel, Niccolo Banterle, Veronika Nemcíková Villímová

How cellular organelles assemble is a fundamental question in biology. The centriole organelle organizes around a nine-foldsymmetrical cartwheel structure typically 100 nm high comprising a stack of rings that each accommodates nine homodimers of SAS-6 pro ...

Centriole Biogenesis: From Identifying the Characters to Understanding the Plot

Pierre Gönczy, Niccolo Banterle

The centriole is a beautiful microtubule-based organelle that is critical for the proper execution of many fundamental cellular processes, including polarity, motility, and division. Centriole biogenesis, the making of this miniature architectural wonder, ...

Identification of Chlamydomonas Central Core Centriolar Proteins Reveals a Role for Human WDR90 in Ciliogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Romain Hamelin, Coralie Busso, Paul Guichard, Florence Armand, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved macromolecular structures that are fundamental to form cilia, flagella, and centrosomes. Centrioles are 9-fold symmetrical microtubule-based cylindrical barrels comprising three regions that can be clearly distinguis ...

Zika virus causes supernumerary foci with centriolar proteins and impaired spindle positioning

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital microcephaly. Although ZIKV can impair cell cycle progression and provoke apoptosis, which probably contributes to disease aetiology through depletion of neural progenitor cells, additional cellular mechanisms may be imp ...

Computer simulations reveal mechanisms that organize nuclear dynein forces to separate centrosomes

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone

Centrosome separation along the surface of the nucleus at the onset of mitosis is critical for bipolar spindle assembly. Dynein anchored on the nuclear envelope is known to be important for centrosome separation, but it is unclear how nuclear dynein forces ...

Distinct mechanisms eliminate mother and daughter centrioles in meiosis of starfish oocytes

Pierre Gönczy

Centriole elimination is an essential process that occurs in female meiosis of metazoa to reset centriole number in the zygote at fertilization. How centrioles are eliminated remains poorly understood. Here we visualize the entire elimination process live ...

Computational support for a scaffolding mechanism of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in ...

Dynein Transmits Polarized Actomyosin Cortical Flows to Promote Centrosome Separation

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone

The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely and accurate fashion to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly. The minus-end-directed motor dynein plays a pivotal role in centrosome separation, but the underlying mechanisms r ...

Mechanisms of centrosome separation in C. elegans

Alessandro De Simone

Centrosomes are the major microtubule organizing centers of animal cells. The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely fashion along the nuclear envelope to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly and thus genome stability. ...

Chemical Genetic Screen Identifies Natural Products that Modulate Centriole Number

Pierre Gönczy, Kai Johnsson, Michele Graciotti, Zhou Fang

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and that are critical for the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as of centrosomes in animal cells. The number of centrioles must be strictly regulated in proliferating cells ...

KAT2A/KAT2B-targeted acetylome reveals a role for PLK4 acetylation in preventing centrosome amplification

Pierre Gönczy, Mathias Fournier

Lysine acetylation is a widespread post-translational modification regulating various biological processes. To characterize cellular functions of the human lysine acetyltransferases KAT2A (GCN5) and KAT2B (PCAF), we determined their acetylome by shotgun pr ...
