( November 2012 ) Cell biology The centrosome Components of a typical centrosome : Centriole Mother centriole Daughter centriole Distal ends Distal appendages Subdistal appendages Proximal ends Microtubule triplets Interconnecting fibers Microtubules Pericentriolar material In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical cell structure composed mainly of a protein called tubulin that is found in most eukaryotic cells. An associated pair of centrioles, surrounded by a shapeless mass of dense material, called the pericentriolar material, or PCM, makes up a compound structure called a centrosome. Centrioles are present in the cells of most eukaryotes, for example those of animals. However, they are absent from conifers ( pinophyta ), flowering plants ( angiosperms ) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and ginkgo. Most centrioles are made up of nine sets of microtubule triplets, arranged in a cylinder. Deviations from this structure include crabs and Drosophila melanogaster embryos, with nine doublets, and Caenorhabditis elegans sperm cells and early embryos, with nine singlets. Edouard van Beneden and Theodor Boveri made the first observation and identification of centrioles in 1883 and 1888 respectively, while the pattern of centriole duplication was first worked out independently by Etienne de Harven and Joseph G. Gall c. 1950 The main function of centrioles is to produce cilia during interphase and the aster and the spindle during cell division.

Centrioles were previously thought to be required for the formation of a mitotic spindle in animal cells. However, more recent experiments have demonstrated that cells whose centrioles have been removed via laser ablation can still progress through the G stage of interphase before centrioles can be synthesized later in a de novo fashion. Additionally, mutant flies lacking centrioles develop normally, although the adult flies ' cells lack flagella and cilia and as a result, they die shortly after birth. The centrioles can self replicate during cell division. Cellular organization Centrioles are a very important part of centrosomes, which are involved in organizing microtubules in the cytoplasm. The position of the centriole determines the position of the nucleus and plays a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell. 3D rendering of centrioles Fertility Sperm centrioles are important for 2 functions : ( 1 ) to form the sperm flagellum and sperm movement and ( 2 ) for the development of the embryo after fertilization. Ciliogenesis In organisms with flagella and cilia, the position of these organelles is determined by the mother centriole, which becomes the basal body. An inability of cells to use centrioles to make functional cilia and flagella has been linked to a number of genetic and developmental diseases. In particular, the inability of centrioles to properly migrate prior to ciliary assembly has recently been linked to Meckel - Gruber syndrome. Animal development Electron micrograph of a centriole from a mouse embryo. Proper orientation of cilia via centriole positioning toward the posterior of embryonic node cells is critical for establishing left -- right asymmetry during mammalian development. Centriole duplication Before DNA replication, cells contain two centrioles. The older of the two centrioles is termed the mother centriole, the other the daughter. During the cell division cycle, a new centriole grows at the proximal end of both mother and daughter centrioles. After duplication, the two centriole pairs ( freshly assembled centriole is now a daughter centriole in each pair ) will remain attached to each other orthogonally until mitosis. At that point the mother and daughter centrioles separate dependently on an enzyme called separase. The two centrioles in the centrosome are tied to one another. The mother centriole has radiating appendages at the distal end of its long axis and is attached to its daughter at the proximal end. Each daughter cell formed after cell division will inherit one of these pairs. Centrioles start duplicating when DNA replicates. Origin The last common ancestor of all eukaryotes was a ciliated cell with centrioles. Some lineages of eukaryotes, such as land plants, do not have centrioles except in their motile male gametes. Centrioles are completely absent from all cells of conifers and flowering plants, which do not have ciliate or flagellate gametes. It is unclear if the last common ancestor had one or two cilia. Important genes required for centriole growth, like centrins, are only found in eukaryotes and not in bacteria or archaeans. Etymology and pronunciation The word centriole ( / ˈsɛntrioʊl / ) uses combining forms of centri - and - ole, yielding `` little central part '', which describes a centriole 's typical location near the center of the cell. Atypical centrioles Typical centrioles are made of 9 triplets of microtubules organized with radial symmetry. Centrioles can vary the number of microtubules and can be made of 9 doublets of microtubules ( as in Drosophila melanogaster ) or 9 singlets microtubules as in C. elegans. Atypical centrioles are centrioles that do not have microtubules such as the Proximal Centriole - Like found in Drosophila melanogaster sperm.
