Centrosome defects cause microcephaly by activating the 53BP1-USP28-TP53 mitotic surveillance pathway

Thao P. Phan et al.

Summary: Depletion of centrosome proteins in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) prolongs mitosis and increases TP53-mediated apoptosis in the developing brain. Activation of the mitotic surveillance pathway by mitotic delays is proposed to be the mechanism behind microcephaly caused by mutations in centrosome genes. Loss of 53BP1 or USP28 can rescue cell death after delayed mitosis in NPCs, restoring NPC proliferation and brain size.

WDR62 regulates spindle dynamics as an adaptor protein between TPX2/Aurora A and katanin

Junjie Huang et al.

Summary: WDR62 acts as an adaptor protein between TPX2/Aurora A and katanin to regulate spindle dynamics by recruiting katanin to the spindle pole. It shows preference for curved segments of dynamic GDP-MTs and its MT-binding affinity is autoinhibited through JNK phosphorylation-induced intramolecular interaction.

Deficient adaptation to centrosome duplication defects in neural progenitors causes microcephaly and subcortical heterotopias

Jose Gonzalez-Martinez et al.

Summary: The study reveals that defects in certain genes during development can lead to mild MCPH symptoms, while the lack of centrosome or centriole regulators can cause chromosomal instability in neural progenitor cells.

Summary: Biallelic variants in the PLK4 gene lead to a syndrome characterized by severe short stature, MCPH, and cognitive impairment as constant features, while ocular, skeletal, and other neurological manifestations can vary upon the same genetic basis.
