... of the centrioles and directly interacts with both C-Nap1 (also known as Cep250) and Cep68. Moreover, centlein complexes with C-Nap1 and Cep68 at the proximal ends of centrioles during interphase and functions as a molecular link between C-Nap1 and Cep68. Depletion of centlein impairs recruitment of Cep68...

... proposes that parental centrioles are held together through centriole-associated, entangling filaments. Central to this model are C-Nap1, a putative centriolar docking protein and rootletin, a fibrous component. Here we identify two novel proteins, Cep68 and Cep215, as required for centrosome cohesion...
