TY - JOUR A1 - Gräf, Ralph A1 - Grafe, Marianne A1 - Meyer, Irene A1 - Mitic, Kristina A1 - Pitzen, Valentin T1 - The dictyostelium centrosome T2 - Cells : open access journal N2 - The centrosome of Dictyostelium amoebae contains no centrioles and consists of a cylindrical layered core structure surrounded by a corona harboring microtubule-nucleating gamma-tubulin complexes. It is the major centrosomal model beyond animals and yeasts. Proteomics, protein interaction studies by BioID and superresolution microscopy methods led to considerable progress in our understanding of the composition, structure and function of this centrosome type. We discuss all currently known components of the Dictyostelium centrosome in comparison to other centrosomes of animals and yeasts.
