In the alga Chlamydomonas, mutation of the gene encoding the novel centriolar component Bld10p results in seemingly acentriolar cells. Remarkably, bld10 cells are viable, highlighting the question of whether or not centrioles are essential.
在藻类衣藻中,编码新型中心粒成分Bld10p的基因突变会导致看似无中心粒的细胞。值得注意的是,bld10细胞是有活力的,这突出了中心粒是否必不可少的问题。
