Mechanisms of axoneme and centriole elimination in Naegleria gruberi

Graham Knott, Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Alexander Woglar, Friso Edsger Douma, Gabriela Garcia Rodriguez

The early branching eukaryote Naegleria gruberi can transform transiently from an amoeboid life form lacking centrioles and flagella to a flagellate life form where these elements are present, followed by reversion to the amoeboid state. The mechanisms imp ...

Unraveling mitochondrial dynamics: exploring asymmetries and function through advanced microscopy

Julius Hans Bernd Winter

Still displaying characteristics of their bacterial origin, such as autonomous division, motility, and their own genome, mitochondria remain an elusive component of modern eukaryotes. They produce most of the cell's energy in the form of adenosine triphosp ...

Mapping of centriolar proteins onto the post-embryonic lineage of C. elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss

Centrioles, together with the surrounding peri-centriolar material (PCM), constitute the centrosome, a major microtubule-organizing center of animal cells. Despite being critical in many cells for signaling, motility and division, centrioles can be elimina ...

New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys

Céline Gagnieux

Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...

Sperm-contributed centrioles segregate stochastically into blastomeres of 4-cell stage Caenorhabditis elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Fernando Romero Balestra

Whereas both sperm and egg contribute nuclear genetic material to the zygote in metazoan organisms, the inheritance of other cellular constituents is unequal between the 2 gametes. Thus, 2 copies of the centriole are contributed solely by the sperm to the ...

Towards understanding centriole elimination

Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss

Centrioles are microtubule-based structures crucial for forming flagella, cilia and centrosomes. Through these roles, centrioles are critical notably for proper cell motility, signalling and division. Recent years have advanced significantly our understand ...

Extensive programmed centriole elimination unveiled in C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss

Centrioles are critical for fundamental cellular processes, including signaling, motility, and division. The extent to which centrioles are present after cell cycle exit in a developing organism is not known. The stereotypical lineage of Caenorhabditis ele ...

Time-Resolved Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy and Single-Molecule Spectroscopy

Samuel Mendes Leitão

The evolution of the 3D morphology is at the center of many relevant biological processes ranging from cellular differentiation to cancer invasion and metastasis. Microscopy techniques, such as electron microscopy (EM), super-resolution (SR) optical micros ...

Dissecting centriole fate in C. elegans development

Nils Kalbfuss

The presence of centrioles is critical for fundamental cell and developmental processes, including polarity, migration and division. Although centrioles are present in most proliferating cells, they are thought to vanish after cell cycle exit in some diffe ...

Structures of SAS-6 coiled coil hold implications for the polarity of the centriolar cartwheel

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos

Centrioles are eukaryotic organelles that template the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as organize the microtubule network and the mitotic spindle in animal cells. Centrioles have proximal-distal polarity and a 9 fold radial symmetry imparted by a ...

Tuning SAS-6 architecture with monobodies impairs distinct steps of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Georg Fantner, Oliver Hantschel, Santiago Harald Andany, Niccolo Banterle, Virginie Hamel, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved multi-protein organelles essential for forming cilia and centrosomes. Centriole biogenesis begins with self-assembly of SAS-6 proteins into 9-fold symmetrical ring polymers, which then stack into a cartwheel that sca ...

TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin

Tessa Vivianne Averink, Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Fernando Romero Balestra, Benita Wolf

TRIM37 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase mutated in Mulibrey nanism, a disease with impaired organ growth and increased tumor formation. TRIM37 depletion from tissue culture cells results in supernumerary foci bearing the centriolar protein Centrin. Here, we chara ...

Organisation and dynamics of mitochondria and their RNA

Timo Henry René Rey

The organisation of molecules into dynamic cells, and collaboration of many of those cells over a billion years led to the evolution of human life. During the last century, biologists then began to unravel the marvels of cellular organisation with ever inc ...

Automated Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow and Motile Cilia Properties in The Central Canal of Zebrafish Embryos

François Gallaire, Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser

Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays an important role during development. In zebrafish embryo, the flow of CSF has been found to be bidirectional in the central canal of the spinal cord. In order to compare conditions and genetic mutants across ...

A helical inner scaffold provides a structural basis for centriole cohesion

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel, Davide Gambarotto

The ninefold radial arrangement of microtubule triplets (MTTs) is the hallmark of the centriole, a conserved organelle crucial for the formation of centrosomes and cilia. Although strong cohesion between MTTs is critical to resist forces applied by ciliary ...

Architecture of the centriole cartwheel‐containing region revealed by cryo‐electron tomography

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved barrels of microtubule triplets that form the core of the centrosome and the base of the cilium. While the crucial role of the proximal region in centriole biogenesis has been well documented, its native architecture ...

Centriole foci persist in starfish oocytes despite Polo-like kinase 1 inactivation or loss of microtubule nucleation activity

Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron

Centrioles must be eliminated or inactivated from the oocyte to ensure that only the two functional centrioles contributed by the sperm are present in the zygote. Such removal can occur during oogenesis, as in Drosophila, where departure of Polo kinase fro ...
