Cep57 and Cep57l1 function redundantly to recruit the Cep63-Cep152 complex for centriole biogenesis.

The Cep63-Cep152 complex located at the mother centriole recruits Plk4 to initiate the centriole biogenesis. How the complex is targeted to mother centrioles, however, is unclear. In this study, we show that Cep57 and its paralog, Cep57l1, colocalize with Cep63 and Cep152 at the proximal end of mother centrioles in both cycling cells and multiciliated cells undergoing centriole amplification. Both Cep57 and Cep57l1 bind to the centrosomal targeting region of Cep63. The depletion of both proteins, but not either one, blocks the loading of Cep63-Cep152 complex to mother centrioles and consequently prevents centriole duplication. We propose that Cep57 and Cep57l1 function redundantly to ensure the recruitment of the Cep63-Cep152 complex to the mother centrioles for procentriole formation. © 2020.
