Term Name: | de novo centriole assembly |
---|---|
Synonyms: | acentriolar basal body biogenesis, de novo basal body amplification, de novo basal body assembly, de novo basal body biogenesis, de novo basal body generation, de novo centriole amplification, de novo ciliary basal body assembly, multiciliation, multiciliogenesis |
Definition: | Centriole assembly in which a centriole arises de novo, rather than by replication from an existing centriole. This process may occur via different mechanisms. Examples include the deuterosome pathway in multicilated epithelial animal cells and formation of centrioles during parthenogenesis in some insects. |
