Centrioles: duplicating precariouslyLaurence Pelletier
Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Curr Biol 17:R770-3. 2007..Recent work showing that the overexpression of centriolar proteins can lead to the formation of multiple centrioles in the absence of pre-existing centrioles challenges the idea that it is a self-replicating organelle...

Research Institute of Molecular Pathology IMP, Dr Bohr Gasse 7, A 1030 Vienna, Austria
Nature 441:53-61. 2006..Our data are consistent with the notion that efficient cleavage of Rec8 requires phosphorylation of cohesin and that this is blocked by PP2A at meiosis I centromeres...
