Mother centrioles are kicked out so that starfish zygote can grow.

Most oocytes eliminate their centrioles during meiotic divisions through unclear mechanisms. In this issue, Borrego-Pinto et al. (2016. J Cell. Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201510083) show that mother centrioles need to be eliminated from starfish oocytes by extrusion into the polar bodies for successful embryo development.
Figure 1. Centriole elimination during meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes. (A) Scheme of starfish oocyte meiotic divisions and early egg development. Oocyte divisions are asymmetric in size; meiotic spindles are off-centered in these large cells; and daughter cells are tiny, tailored to the chromatin mass, and named polar bodies. Microtubules are green, DNA is pink, maternal centrosomes are yellow, and sperm centrosomes are orange. (B) Fate of mother and daughter centrioles during meiotic divisions. Centrosomes are artificially enlarged to emphasize the centrioles. PB1 and PB2, first and second polar body, respectively. During anaphase I, the DNA and centrioles are segregated; one set of chromosomes and one pair of centrioles are extruded into PB1 during anaphase I. The remaining mother centriole separates from its paired daughter and rapidly moves toward the plasma membrane, where it is extruded in the second polar body (PB2) during anaphase II, leaving one set of oocyte chromatids to combine with the sperm chromatids. The remaining oocyte daughter centriole is inactivated and degraded after anaphase II. Therefore, only the sperm centrioles form the first mitotic spindle in the fertilized oocyte. Oocytes forced to retain a mother centriole form a tripolar aster upon fertilization, which stops development.
