Centrosomes serve to organize new centrioles in cycling cells, whereas in quiescent cells they assemble primary cilia. We have recently shown that the mitochondrial porin VDAC3 is also a centrosomal protein that is predominantly associated with the mother centriole and modulates centriole assembly by recruiting Mps1 to centrosomes. Here, we show that depletion of VDAC3 causes inappropriate ciliogenesis in cycling cells, while expression of GFP-VDAC3 suppresses ciliogenesis in quiescent cells. Mp ...[more]
