GCP6 is a substrate of Plk4 and required for centriole duplication
15 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Centriole duplication occurs once per cell cycle and requires Plk4, a member of the Polo-like kinase family. A key component of the centrosome is the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) that nucleates microtubules. GCP6 is a member of the γ-TuRC, but its role in human cells and the regulation of its functions remain unclear. Here we report that depletion of human GCP6 prevents assembly of the γ-TuRC and induces a...
