The centriole is a cytoplasmic structure in most eukaryote cells.

Only one procentriole forms next to each centriole during a cell cycle.

Unikont cells often have only one centriole as well.

Three Cdk2 substrates have been proposed to be responsible for regulation of centriole duplication.

These complexes are then anchored at the centriole to begin formation of the centrosome.

The mother centriole, the one that was inherited from the mother cell, also has a central role in making cilia and flagella.

Centrins participate in calcium signaling and are required for centriole duplication.

During G1, the mother centriole attaches at the cell cortex and forms the cilium.

For example, both species have lost one of the centrin subfamilies that are usually associated with centriole duplication.

In organisms with flagella and cilia, the position of these organelles is determined by the mother centriole, which becomes the basal body.

During the cell division cycle, a new centriole grows from the side of each of the existing "mother" centrioles.

Hyls1 is incorporated into centrioles as they are formed but is not required for centriole assembly.

Centriole - A barrel shaped microtubule structure found in most eukaryotic cells other than those of plants and fungi.

A nonfunctioning centriole lies adjacent to the kinetosome.

The spermatid is more or less circular cell containing a nucleus, Golgi apparatus, centriole and mitochondria.

It is possible to distinguish between the two preexisting centrioles, because the mother and daughter centriole differ in both shape and function.

In eukaryotes, the mechanisms of both mitosis and cilial construction, including the key role of the centriole, need to be much better understood.

The position of the centriole determines the position of the nucleus and plays a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell.

Buehler has suggested that the centriole may form a primitive directional "eye", sensitive to certain wavelengths in the Infra red spectrum.

Each daughter cell formed after cell division will inherit one of these pairs (one older and one newer centriole).

In some species, the spermatozoon will also contribute a centriole which will help make up the zygotic centrosome required for the first division.

At the other end, it develops a thickened mid-piece, where the mitochondria gather and the distal centriole begins to form an axoneme.

A centriole is a cylinder shaped cell structure found in most eukaryotic cells, though it is absent in higher plants and most fungi.
