Short Name | Deup1 |
description | Centriole amplification is controlled by two duplicated genes, Cep63 (centrosomal protein of 63kDa) and Deup1 (Deuterosome assembly protein 1).Cep63 regulates mother-centriole-dependent centriole duplication, whereas Deup1 is involved in large-scale de novo centriole biogenesis. Deup1, previously known as coiled-coil domain-containing protein 67, is a structural component of the deuterosome, a structure that promotes de novo centriole amplification in multiciliated cells. Deup1 binds to Cep152 and then recruits Plk4 to activate centriole biogenesis []. |
