Multiciliogenesis: multicilin directs transcriptional activation of centriole formation.

Balestra FR, Gönczy P.


???displayArticle.abstract???
During differentiation of multiciliated cells, numerous centrioles are generated in each cell to act as templates for the formation of a corresponding number of cilia. A new study reveals that multicilin, a protein required for multiciliogenesis, is a key component of a regulatory complex that activates the transcription of genes required for centriole formation.
