FBXW5 controls centrosome number

Nat Cell Biol. 2011 Aug 1;13(8):888-90. doi: 10.1038/ncb2312.

Abstract

Regulatory mechanisms to prevent centriole overduplication during the cell cycle are not completely understood. In this issue, FBXW5 is shown to control the degradation of the centriole assembly factor HsSAS-6. Moreover, the study proposes that FBXW5 is a substrate of both PLK4 and APC/C, two established regulators of centriole duplication.
