Mitotic centrosome maturation requires Polo/PLK1-dependent expansion of the pericentriolar material (PCM). In Drosophila, Centrosomin (Cnn) assembles a scaffold around mitotic centrioles through interactions between its PReM and CM2 domains. Here, we show that PReM adopts an autoinhibited helical ha...
