Abstract excerpt
Centrosome duplication is a critical step in assembly of the bipolar mitotic spindle, but the molecular mechanisms regulating this process during the cell cycle and during animal development are poorly understood. Here, we report that the zyg-1 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans is an essential regulator of centrosome duplication. ZYG-1 is a protein kinase specifically required for daughter centriole formation that...
