De novo centrosome formation in the absence of SAS-6 self-oligomerization. 

(A) Wild-type (WT) or acentrosomal (p53-/-; SAS-6 -/-; clone #1) RPE1 cells were stained with anti-centrin (green) and γ-tubulin (red). DNA (DAPI, blue). (B) Western blot analysis of WT or SAS-6-/-

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Characterization of SAS6-/-; p53-/- cell lines (clone #1 and #2).

(A, B) Sequence analyses of SAS-6 and p53 alleles in clone #1 and clone #2 as indicated. The sequence of wild-type and edited alleles are in black and blue, respectively. The lesion (deletion or …

De novo centrioles formed in the absence of SAS-6 self-oligomerization can ciliate and duplicate. 

(A) Isogenic SAS-6-/-; p53-/- cells carrying indicated SAS-6 constructs (see ‘Methods’) were arrested in S phase and induced to express indicated SAS-6 mutants for 16 hr and then immunostained with …

Figure 2—figure supplement 1
Characterization of de novo centrioles formed in the absence of SAS-6 self-oligomerization.

p53-/-; SAS-6 -/- cells (clone #1) exogenously expressing full-length SAS-6 (FL) or various SAS-6 mutants as indicated were analyzed by immunofluorescence with indicated antibodies.

SAS-6 self-assembly is not essential for the ninefold symmetry of centrioles.

Isogenic SAS-6-/-; p53-/- cells carrying indicated SAS-6 constructs (see ‘Methods’) were induced to express indicated SAS-6 mutants for 3 days, and then processed for serial sectioning electron …
