Figure 1 Mechanism of Centriole Elimination in Centrosomal and Acentrosomal Meiosis In starfish, centriole elimination (CE) occurs during centrosomal meiosis via two mechanisms: polar body (PB) extrusion and PCM loss + centriole destruction (CD). The fly shares the PCM loss + CD mechanism of CE during late oogenesis that is dependent on downregulation of Polo kinase. In contrast to starfish, CE occurs prior to meiosis, resulting in acentrosomal meiosis. The mechanisms of CD remain unknown.
