Project description:Most human tumors have abnormal numbers of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy. The mitotic checkpoint is an important mechanism that prevents aneuploidy through restraining the activity of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). USP44 was identified as a key regulator of APC activation that maintains the association of MAD2 with the APC co-activator Cdc20. However, the physiological importance of USP44 and its impact on cancer biology are unknown. Here, we show that USP44 is required to prevent tumors in mice and is frequently down-regulated in human lung cancer. USP44 inhibits chromosome segregation errors independently of its role in the mitotic checkpoint by regulating proper centrosome separation, positioning, and mitotic spindle geometry, functions that require direct binding to the centriole protein, centrin. These data reveal a new role for the ubiquitin system in mitotic spindle regulation and underscore the importance of USP44 in the pathogenesis of human cancer.

Project description:The spindle checkpoint is a mitotic surveillance system which ensures equal segregation of sister chromatids. It delays anaphase onset by inhibiting the action of the E3 ubiquitin ligase known as the anaphase promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C). Mads/BubR1 is a key component of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) which binds and inhibits the APC/C early in mitosis. Mps1Mph1 kinase is critical for checkpoint signalling and MCC-APC/C inhibition, yet few substrates have been identified. Here we identify Mad3 as a substrate of fission yeast Mps1Mph1 kinase. We map and mutate phosphorylation sites in Mad3, producing mutants that are targeted to kinetochores and assembled into MCC, yet display reduced APC/C binding and are unable to maintain checkpoint arrests. We chow biochemically that Mad3 phospho-mimics are potent APC/C inhibitors in vitro, demonstrating that Mad3p modification can directly influence Cdc20Slp1-APC/C activity. This genetic dissection of APC/C inhibition demonstrates that Mps1Mph1 kinase-dependant modification of Mad3 and Mad2 act in a concerted manner to maintain spindle checkpoint arrests.

Project description:While aneuploidy is found in more than 90% of solid tumors, it is unclear whether aneuploidy is the cause or the consequence of tumorigenesis. Different mouse models deficient in centrosomal or spindle checkpoint proteins that induce aneuploidy show either a promotion or a decrease in tumorigenesis depending on the tissues and the types of oncogenic stimuli. To investigate the effects of aneuploidy in skin development and tumorigenesis, we used Plk4 over-expression (Plk4OE) during epidermal development to assess centrosome amplification and aneuploidy. We found that PLK4OE in the developing epidermis induced centrosome amplification and multipolar divisions, consequently led to p53 stabilization and apoptosis of epidermal progenitors. This delayed epidermal stratification and induced lethal skin barrier defect in 50% of the mice. Plk4 transgene expression was shutdown postnatally in the surviving mice and PLK4OE mice never developed spontaneous skin tumors. Concomitant Plk4OE and P53 deletion (PLK4OE/p53cKO) rescued the defects in differentiation and stratification. Unexpectedly, p53 deletion did not rescue the apoptosis or eventual elimination of the cells overexpressing PLK4 and presenting multiple centrosomes. Remarkably, the short term presence of cells with supernumerary centrosomes postnatally was sufficient to generate aneuploidy and triggered spontaneous skin cancers with complete penetrance. These results reveal for the first time that aneuploidy induced by centrosome amplification, even if transient, can trigger tumorigenesis.

Project description:Depletion of the APC/C activator Cdc20 arrests cells in metaphase with high levels of the mitotic cyclin (Cyclin B) and the Separase inhibitor Securin. In mammalian cells this arrest has been exploited for the treatment of cancer with drugs that engage the spindle assembly checkpoint and, recently, with chemical inhibitors of the APC/C. While most cells arrested in mitosis for prolonged periods undergo apoptosis, others skip cytokinesis and enter G1 with unsegregated chromosomes. This process, known as mitotic slippage, generates aneuploidy and increases genomic instability in the cancer cell. Here, we analyse the behaviour of fission yeast cells arrested in mitosis through the transcriptional silencing of the Cdc20 homolog slp1. While depletion of slp1 readily halts cells in metaphase, this arrest is only transient and a majority of cells eventually undergo cytokinesis and show steady mitotic dephosphorylation. As a result, we generated this label-free dataset with the aim of providing further insights into the global dynamics of protein expression under slp1 depletion and the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the mitotic escape.

Project description:We used quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze the effect of ML111 on the whole proteome of SK-N-MC cells. Results: ML111 treatment results in the accumulation of APC/C substrates suggesting that ML111 disrupts the cell cycle at or before the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint.

Project description:Ibrahim2008 - Mitotic Spindle Assembly Checkpoint - Convey variant
The Mitotic Spindle Assembly Checkpoint ((M)SAC) is an evolutionary conserved mechanism. This model incorporates the perspectives of three central control pathways, namely Mad1/Mad2 induced Cdc20 sequestering based on the Template Model, MCC formation, and APC inhibition. MCC:APC dissociation is described by two alternatives models, namely the "Dissociation" and the "Convey" model variants. Both these model are available in BioModels Database. This model corresponds to the "Convey" variant.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The Mitotic Spindle Assembly Checkpoint ((M)SAC) is an evolutionary conserved mechanism that ensures the correct segregation of chromosomes by restraining cell cycle progression from entering anaphase until all chromosomes have made proper bipolar attachments to the mitotic spindle. Its malfunction can lead to cancer.
PRINCIPLE FINDINGS: We have constructed and validated for the human (M)SAC mechanism an in silico dynamical model, integrating 11 proteins and complexes. The model incorporates the perspectives of three central control pathways, namely Mad1/Mad2 induced Cdc20 sequestering based on the Template Model, MCC formation, and APC inhibition. Originating from the biochemical reactions for the underlying molecular processes, non-linear ordinary differential equations for the concentrations of 11 proteins and complexes of the (M)SAC are derived. Most of the kinetic constants are taken from literature, the remaining four unknown parameters are derived by an evolutionary optimization procedure for an objective function describing the dynamics of the APC:Cdc20 complex. MCC:APC dissociation is described by two alternatives, namely the "Dissociation" and the "Convey" model variants. The attachment of the kinetochore to microtubuli is simulated by a switching parameter silencing those reactions which are stopped by the attachment. For both, the Dissociation and the Convey variants, we compare two different scenarios concerning the microtubule attachment dependent control of the dissociation reaction. Our model is validated by simulation of ten perturbation experiments.
CONCLUSION: Only in the controlled case, our models show (M)SAC behaviour at meta- to anaphase transition in agreement with experimental observations. Our simulations revealed that for (M)SAC activation, Cdc20 is not fully sequestered; instead APC is inhibited by MCC binding.
This model describes the controlled dissociation variant of the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint. If the tool you use has problems with events, you can uncomment the assignment rules for u and u_prime and comment out the list of events.

Project description:The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) is a mega-dalton ubiquitin ligase that initiates mitotic exit by targeting substrates for degradation. The APC/C is activated by Cdc20, which acts as a substrate receptor, and is inhibited by the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which delays mitotic exit when the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is activated. We previously identified apcin, a small molecule ligand of Cdc20, as an inhibitor of APC/CCdc20. Surprisingly, we found that apcin paradoxically accelerates substrate degradation and promotes mitotic exit in cells with high SAC activity. Biochemical studies indicate that apcin cooperates with p31comet to relieve MCC-dependent inhibition of APC/C. Apcin’s behavior as an antagonist of Cdc20 can thus result in either net inhibition of APC/C, delaying mitotic exit when SAC activity is slow, or net activation of APC/C, promoting mitotic exit when SAC activity is high. Genetic experiments suggest that the dual behaviors of apcin arise from targeting a common binding site in Cdc20 that is required for both substrate ubiquitination as well as efficient APC/C inhibition by MCC. We therefore establish a new mechanism through which a small molecule, by targeting a single site on a dynamic protein interface, can lead to opposing biological effects depending on the regulatory context.

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation is coordinated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) through its effector the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), to inhibit the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C). Cdc20 is an essential mitotic regulator since it promotes mitotic exit through activating the APC/C and monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment through activating the SAC. The proper functioning of Cdc20 requires multiple interactions with APC/C and MCC subunits. To functionally assess each of these interactions within cells requires efficient depletion of endogenous Cdc20, which is highly difficult to achieve by RNAi. Here we generated Cdc20 RNAi sensitive cell lines by CRISPR/Cas9 which display a penetrant metaphase arrest phenotype by a single RNAi treatment. In this null background, we accurately measured the contribution of each known motif of Cdc20 on APC/C and SAC activation. The CRY box, a previously identified degron was found to be critical for the SAC by promoting theMCC formation and stabilizing the interaction between the MCC and APC/C. These data reveal additionalregulatory components within the SAC and establish a novel method to interrogate Cdc20 function.

Project description:Tight regulation of the APC/C-Cdc20 ubiquitin ligase that targets Cyclin B1 for degradation is important for mitotic fidelity. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibits Cdc20 through the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC). In addition, phosphorylation of Cdc20 by Cyclin B1-Cdk1 independently inhibits APC/C-Cdc20 activation. This creates a conundrum for how Cdc20 gets activated prior to Cyclin B1 degradation. Here we show that the MCC component BubR1 harbours both Cdc20 inhibition and activation activities, allowing for cross-talk between the two Cdc20 inhibition pathways. Specifically BubR1 acts as a substrate specifier for PP2A-B56 to enable efficient Cdc20 dephosphorylation in the MCC. A mutant Cdc20 mimicking the dephosphorylated state escapes a mitotic checkpoint arrest arguing that restricting Cdc20 dephosphorylation to the MCC is important. Collectively our work reveals how Cdc20 can be dephosphorylated in the presence of Cyclin B1-Cdk1 activity without causing premature anaphase onset.
