Un centrosoma es el principal organizador de microtúbulos de una célula eucariota y desempeña un papel vital en la formación del huso mitótico, una disposición bipolar de microtúbulos que separa a las cromátidas hermanas. Los dos polos del huso están formados por dos centrosomas colocados en sentido opuesto.
Sin embargo, antes del ciclo celular, la mayoría de las células animales contienen solo un centrosoma en el citoplasma. La quinasa dependiente de G1/S-ciclina o complejo Cdk, que consta de ciclina E y Cdk2 en células animales, ayuda a desencadenar la duplicación del centrosoma, así como la entrada en el ciclo celular. 
Cada centrosoma consta de dos centriolos, que están encapsulados por una matriz pericentriolar proteica.
La duplicación del centrosoma comienza en la fase G1 temprana, cuando la separasa lleva a cabo la desacoplación de los dos centriolos. Una proteína perteneciente a la familia de las proteínas quinasas tipo polo, Plk-4, es un importante regulador de la biogénesis de los centriolos en los seres humanos.
Cerca del inicio de la fase S, un centriolo hijo comienza a crecer en ángulo recto con la base de cada centriolo.
Durante G2, los centriolos hijos suelen terminar de alargarse. Los cuatro centriolos permanecen muy juntos en el centrosoma hasta que la célula entra en mitosis.
Al comienzo de la mitosis, el centrosoma se divide en dos, lo que también se conoce como disyunción del centrosoma. Los dos centrosomas resultantes contienen cada uno un par de centriolos y la matriz pericentriolar. Ambos centrosomas nuclean un conjunto de microtúbulos, principalmente en el centriolo madre, formando colectivamente el huso mitótico.
El ciclo de vida del centrosoma y del cromosoma es similar en varios aspectos. Su duplicación ocurre solo una vez por ciclo y ambos se duplican a través de un proceso semiconservador en el que se produce una nueva copia a partir de la copia principal preexistente.
Además, al igual que los cromosomas, una copia del centrosoma se distribuye por igual a cada célula hija después de la división.
La duplicación excesiva del centrosoma puede afectar el ensamblaje del huso mitótico y hacer que los cromosomas se segreguen incorrectamente, lo que puede causar enfermedades como el cáncer.

duplicación de centrosomas

Centrosome Duplication

El principal centro organizador de microtúbulos (MTOC) en las células animales es el centrosoma. Un centrosoma tiene dos centriolos cilíndricos en su núcleo. Cada centriolo consta de nueve conjuntos de tres microtúbulos unidos por proteínas. Los centríolos están colocados en ángulo recto entre sí y rodeados por una nube de proteínas informe llamada matriz pericentriolar o material pericentriolar (PCM).

Para garantizar que cada célula hija reciba un centrosoma después de la división celular, la duplicación del centrosoma comienza temprano en el ciclo celular. La duplicación de centrosoma está estrechamente regulada por controles del ciclo celular, como la quinasa 2 dependiente de ciclina (Cdk2), para evitar que ocurra más de una vez por ciclo celular. Así, cuando la célula llega a la mitosis, tiene dos centrosomas.

La duplicación de los centrosomas coincide con las fases del ciclo celular. Durante la fase G1 del ciclo celular, los dos centríolos del centrosoma se separan, un proceso llamado desorientación del centrosoma.

Durante las fases G1 y S, los centrosomas se duplican. Un nuevo centríolo, llamado procentríolo, comienza a formarse y alargarse en la base de cada uno de los dos centríolos existentes. Los procentríolos se alargan a través de S y G2 hasta que son tan grandes como los centríolos más viejos. Los cuatro centriolos permanecen juntos dentro del PCM agrandado hasta que la célula entra en mitosis.

Durante la fase G2, la γ-tubulina y otras proteínas PCM se acumulan en el centrosoma, un proceso llamado maduración del centrosoma.

Durante la transición entre las fases G2 y M, los centrosomas comienzan a separarse. Los dos centríolos madre se desconectan y las proteínas motoras de los microtúbulos separan los dos centrosomas.

Los errores en la regulación del centrosoma pueden provocar anomalías en el número de cromosomas y centrosomas. Las anomalías del centrosoma y los defectos en la progresión del ciclo del centrosoma están implicados en múltiples enfermedades, en particular el cáncer. Las proteínas supresoras de tumores y los oncogenes están relacionados con cambios perjudiciales en los centrosomas de las células tumorales, lo que convierte a estas proteínas en un objetivo de tratamiento atractivo.

centrosome duplication in the cell cycle

Centrosome duplication is a key part of the animal cell cycle. The centrosome is the main microtubule organizing center, or MTOC, in animal cells. It contains two cylindrical centrioles at its core. Each centriole has nine sets of three microtubules held together by proteins. The two centrioles sit at right angles and are surrounded by the pericentriolar matrix, or PCM, a shapeless protein cloud.

Duplication starts early in the cell cycle so each daughter cell can receive a centrosome after cell division. Cell cycle controls keep this process tightly regulated. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2, or Cdk2, helps prevent duplication from happening more than once in a single cell cycle. By the time the cell reaches mitosis, it has two centrosomes.

Centrosome duplication matches the stages of the cell cycle. In G1, the two centrioles separate. This separation is called centrosome disorientation. During G1 and S, new centrioles called procentrioles begin to form at the base of each older centriole. The procentrioles then elongate through S and G2 until they are the same size as the older centrioles.

The four centrioles stay close together inside the enlarged PCM until mitosis begins. During G2, gamma-tubulin and other PCM proteins build up in the centrosome. This step is called centrosome maturation. Between G2 and M, the centrosomes start to separate. The two mother centrioles disconnect, and microtubule motor proteins move the centrosomes apart.

Problems in centrosome regulation can lead to abnormal numbers of centrosomes and chromosomes. These defects are linked to several diseases, especially cancer. Tumor suppressor proteins and oncogenes are associated with harmful changes in tumor cell centrosomes. Because of this, they are important targets for treatment research.

Centrosome Duplication in the Cell Cycle

mitosis and cytokinesis

Mitosis and Cytokinesis Stages

Mitosis and cytokinesis are the two main steps of cell division. Mitosis is the process that divides the nucleus, while cytokinesis splits the rest of the cell. During mitosis, the cell’s genetic material is separated into two sets. This helps form two new nuclei with the same genetic information. Cytokinesis then completes division by separating the cytoplasm, which creates two daughter cells. These stages work together to make cell division possible in growing and repairing tissues.

duplication of chromatin structure

Chromatin Rebuilding During DNA Replication

Chromatin rebuilding during DNA replication helps cells copy DNA and pass on chromosome structure to daughter cells. During cell division, the genome must be disrupted and then reassembled across the whole chromosome. This process allows chromatin to be inherited, rebuilt, and maintained in new cells. The basic unit of chromatin is the nucleosome. A nucleosome contains DNA wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins, with short linker DNA between neighboring nucleosomes. The histone proteins...

cohesins

Cohesins in Meiosis and Genetic Disorders

Cohesin protein complexes act like molecular glue that keeps sister chromatids together. They are important in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, cohesin complexes are removed from chromosomes before anaphase begins. Meiosis has two rounds of chromosome separation. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while Meiosis II separates sister chromatids. This process produces four daughter cells. The Meiosis I cohesin complex is made of four subunits: Smc1, Smc3, Rec8, and Scc3. Rec8...

condensins

How Condensins Shape Mitotic Chromosomes

Condensins shape chromosomes during mitosis, the stage when a cell divides. These large protein complexes use ATP, the cell’s energy molecule, to help turn loose post-interphase DNA into compact, separate chromosomes. They organize and segregate chromosomal DNA so it can be passed on correctly. Plant and animal cells contain two condensin complexes: condensin I and condensin II. Each complex has five subunits. Two are SMC, or Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes, subunits. One is a kleisin...

the mitotic spindle

How the Mitotic Spindle Separates Chromosomes

The mitotic spindle is a microtubule-based structure that helps separate chromosomes during cell division. It forms in eukaryotic cells and moves sister chromatids to opposite ends of the parent cell. This leaves each new cell nucleus with the correct genetic material. A bipolar spindle has two poles, and that shape is important for chromosome segregation. In many animal cells, two centrosomes are present when mitosis begins. Each centrosome helps organize a circular set of microtubules at one...

microtubule instability

Microtubule Growth and Shrinkage

Microtubules are hollow, cylindrical filaments in the cell. They are about 25 nm wide and can range from 200 nm to 25 μm in length. Their main building blocks are GTP-bound tubulin subunits that form αβ-heterodimers, which then assemble into protofilaments. These protofilaments join by lateral bonds to create stable microtubule cylinders. Microtubules are highly dynamic because they repeatedly assemble and break down. They can even grow on one end while shrinking on the other at the same time.

spindle assembly

How the Mitotic Spindle Forms

The mitotic spindle forms through centrosome-mediated, chromatin-mediated, and microtubule-mediated pathways. These pathways often work at the same time. Together, they build a strong spindle apparatus for cell division. In most cells, centrosomes are the main sites where microtubules begin to grow. During the G2 to prophase transition, centrosomes mature and make more microtubules. The growing microtubules extend from both centrosomes, and their plus-ends search for chromosomes by attaching...

attachment of sister chromatids

Kinetochore-Microtubule Binding in Mitosis

Kinetochore-microtubule binding helps chromosomes line up and separate during mitosis. After the nuclear envelope breaks down, condensed chromosomes are exposed to the bipolar microtubules of the mitotic spindle. The kinetochore is a large, disc-shaped protein complex at the centromere region of each sister chromatid, and it serves as the microtubule binding site. Usually, the plus-end of a single microtubule inserts into the kinetochore. In some cases, a kinetochore first makes lateral...

forces acting on chromosomes

Chromosome Movement During Mitosis

Chromosome movement during mitosis depends on several small forces that act at different times and positions in the cell. In prometaphase, these forces help chromosomes move to the equatorial plane and line up at the metaphase plate. Because the forces change with location and stage, chromosome behavior also changes as mitosis continues. Microtubules and motor proteins create two main kinds of force on chromosomes: poleward force and anti-poleward force, also called polar-ejection force.

separation of sister chromatids

Anaphase Start and Chromatid Release

Anaphase starts when sister chromatids are released from one another and pulled toward opposite spindle poles. Before that happens, cohesion along the chromosomal arms is reduced from prophase to metaphase, which helps the sister chromatids resolve. A residual cohesin link still holds them together until the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. This leftover connection helps prevent early separation and reduces the risk of aneuploidy, or the wrong number of chromosomes, in daughter cells. At the...

the spindle assembly checkpoint

How Cells Safeguard Chromosome Separation

The spindle assembly checkpoint helps cells safeguard chromosome separation during anaphase. It acts as a molecular surveillance system. The checkpoint checks whether the steps needed for chromosome segregation are complete before the cell moves on. Many proteins work together to control this checkpoint. If mutations affect these proteins, a cell may enter anaphase too early. Chromosomes can then separate before the needed steps are finished. When this happens, the daughter cells may receive...

anaphase a and b

Chromatid Movement by Microtubule Forces

Chromatid movement during anaphase depends on microtubule forces at the spindle. Kinetochore microtubules grow from the spindle poles, and their plus ends attach to kinetochores on sister chromatids. The kinetochore protein complex Ndc80 makes low-affinity links with the microtubule plus end.

the contractile ring

How Cells Build the Contractile Ring

Contractile rings are built from microfilaments and help separate daughter cells during cytokinesis. This ring forms as the cell cycle moves forward, but the exact timing and coordination with other cell cycle events are still not fully understood. RhoA, a small GTPase in the Ras superfamily, controls contractile ring assembly and function. The inactive form of RhoA is bound to GDP. A guanine nucleotide exchange factor, or Rho-GEF, is located in the cortex region, where the next cell division...

determining the plane of cell division

How Cells Set the Division Plane

How cells set the division plane during cell division affects daughter cell size and, in many cases, cell fate. The plane of division is perpendicular to the plane of chromosome segregation. Different organisms use different cues to place it, based on their shape and needs. In animal cells, the cleavage furrow forms along the division plane from the cell cortex, the area just below the plasma membrane. The mitotic spindle is the main guide for this position. If the spindle axis changes, the...

the phragmoplast

How Plant Cells Build a New Wall

Plant cells build a new wall during cytokinesis with help from the phragmoplast. This plant structure forms from the central spindle and related cell parts as the cell finishes dividing. In animal cells, the comparable structure is the midbody, but in plants the phragmoplast expands outward to guide new wall formation. The mature phragmoplast has a donut-like shape. It has an outer leading region, a middle transition zone, and an inner lagging region. New microtubules are assembled...

distribution of cytoplasmic content

How Organelles Are Split During Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis splits a cell’s chromosomes and organelles into two daughter cells. Before cell division, organelles grow and divide. They cannot be made from scratch, so each daughter cell must inherit at least one copy to survive. Many details of this organelle sorting process are still not fully known. The cytoplasm contains organelles, salts, proteins, and water. Small organelles such as peroxisomes and lysosomes can be shared by simple diffusion. Because cells contain many copies of these...

anaphase promoting complex

APC Activates Chromosome Separation

The anaphase-promoting complex, or APC, helps control cell cycle progression by destroying specific proteins at the right time. These proteins are tagged with ubiquitin by ubiquitin ligases and then broken down by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) complex and APC are two major ubiquitin ligases involved in this process. SCF stays active throughout the cell cycle, but APC turns on during the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. APC becomes active when Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to it. These...
