The Unkempt RNA-binding protein reveals a local translation program in centriole overduplication

Excess centrosomes cause defects in mitosis, cell-signaling, and cell migration, and therefore their assembly is tightly regulated. The divergent Polo kinase, PLK4, controls centriole duplication at the heart of centrosome assembly, and elevated PLK4 levels promote centrosome amplification (CA), a founding event of tumorigenesis. Here, we investigate the transcriptional consequences of elevated PLK4 and find […]
