The Cep57-pericentrin module organizes PCM expansion and centriole engagement

Centriole disengagement occurs towards mitotic exit and involves cleavage of pericentrin, a component of the pericentriolar material. Here the authors show that depletion of the centrosomal protein Cep57 leads to precocious centriole disengagement, and that Cep57 binds pericentrin.
