Centrosome reduction during gametogenesis and its significance

Biology of Reproduction
Gaurishankar ManandharPeter Sutovsky

Abstract

Animal spermatids and primary oocytes initially have typical centrosomes comprising pairs of centrioles and pericentriolar fibrous centrosomal proteins. These somatic cell-like centrosomes are partially or completely degenerated during gametogenesis. Centrosome reduction during spermiogenesis comprises attenuation of microtubule nucleation function, loss of pericentriolar material, and centriole degeneration. Centrosome reduction during oogenesis is due to complete degeneration of centrioles, which leads to dispersal of the pericentriolar centrosomal proteins, loss of replicating capacity of the spindle poles, and switching to acentrosomal mode of spindle organization. Oocyte centrosome reduction plays an important role in preventing parthenogenetic embryogenesis and balancing centrosome number in the embryonic cells.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.
