...Chad G. Pearson ABSTRACT Centrioles and basal bodies (CBBs) are microtubule-rich cylindrical structures that nucleate and organize centrosomes and cilia, respectively. Despite their apparent ninefold rotational symmetry, the nine sets of triplet microtubules in CBBs possess asymmetries...

... of mitochondria (see Fig. 1A ). However they are found in the vicinity of the spindle and are often enriched in this area ( Calarco, 1995 ; Cecconi et al., 2006 ; Dumollard et al., 2006 ). Given the exclusion of mitochondria from the first polar body we tested whether there was any asymmetry...

...., 2012 ; Wallingford, 2010 ). Basal body asymmetries may be a heritable property of the basal body itself; when ciliate basal bodies are experimentally rotated 180°, the relative direction and position of new basal body assembly and accessory structures is maintained in the new orientation and passed...

...Roger Albertson; Chiswili Chabu; Amy Sheehan; Chris Q. Doe The Drosophila tumor suppressor protein Scribble is required for epithelial polarity, neuroblast polarity, neuroblast spindle asymmetry and limiting cell proliferation. It is a member of the newly described LAP protein family, containing 16...

...Mark Mercola The striking left-right asymmetry of visceral organs is known to depend on left- and right-side-specific cascades of gene expression during early embryogenesis. Now, developmental biologists are characterizing the earliest steps in asymmetry determination that dictate the sidedness...

... slowly remaining essentially confined to the exoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane of intact cells from both fresh, ejaculated and cryopreserved samples. The physiological consequences of a perturbed transbilayer asymmetry in sperm plasma membranes is discussed. * Author for correspondence (e...

...Harold J. Hoops ABSTRACT It has previously been shown that the flagellar apparatus of the mature Volvox carteri somatic cell lacks the 180° rotational symmetry typical of most unicellular green algae. This asymmetry has been postulated to be the result of rotation of each half of the flagellar...

... that positions the eyespot is always attached to the same basal body, which is the daugher of the parental/daughter basal body pair. At mitosis, the replicated basal body pairs segregate in a precise orientation that maintains the asymmetry of the cell and results in mitotic poles that have an invariant...
