Ablation of the spindle assembly checkpoint by a compound targeting Mps1.

ABSTRACT: The spindle assembly checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation by delaying anaphase initiation until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. Here, we show that the previously reported c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 effectively disrupts spindle checkpoint function in a JNK-independent fashion. SP600125 potently inhibits activity of the mitotic checkpoint kinase monopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) in vitro and triggers efficient progression through a mitotic arrest imposed by spindle poisons. Importantly, expression of an Mps1 mutant protein refractory to SP600125-mediated inhibition restores spindle checkpoint function in the presence of SP600125, showing that its mitotic phenotype is induced by Mps1 inhibition in vivo. Remarkably, primary human cells are largely resistant to the checkpoint-inactivating action of SP600125, suggesting the existence of Mps1-independent checkpoint pathways that are compromised in tumour cells.

Rad52 phosphorylation by Ipl1 and Mps1 contributes to Mps1 kinetochore localization and spindle assembly checkpoint regulation.

Project description:Rad52 is well known as a key factor in homologous recombination. Here, we report that Rad52 has functions unrelated to homologous recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; it plays a role in the recruitment of Mps1 to the kinetochores and the maintenance of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) activity. Deletion of RAD52 causes various phenotypes related to the dysregulation of chromosome biorientation. Rad52 directly affects efficient operation of the SAC and accurate chromosome segregation. Remarkably, by using an in vitro kinase assay, we found that Rad52 is a substrate of Ipl1/Aurora and Mps1 in yeast and humans. Ipl1-dependent phosphorylation of Rad52 facilitates the kinetochore accumulation of Mps1, and Mps1-dependent phosphorylation of Rad52 is important for the accurate regulation of the SAC under spindle damage conditions. Taken together, our data provide detailed insights into the regulatory mechanism of chromosome biorientation by mitotic kinases.

Drosophila Polo regulates the spindle assembly checkpoint through Mps1-dependent BubR1 phosphorylation.

Project description:Maintenance of genomic stability during eukaryotic cell division relies on the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that prevents mitotic exit until all chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle. Polo is a mitotic kinase proposed to be involved in SAC function, but its role has remained elusive. We demonstrate that Polo and Aurora B functional interdependency comprises a positive feedback loop that promotes Mps1 kinetochore localization and activity. Expression of constitutively active Polo restores normal Mps1 kinetochore levels even after Aurora B inhibition, highlighting a role for Polo in Mps1 recruitment to unattached kinetochores downstream of Aurora B. We also show that Mps1 kinetochore localization is required for BubR1 hyperphosphorylation and formation of the 3F3/2 phosphoepitope. This is essential to allow recruitment of Cdc20 to unattached kinetochores and the assembly of anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome-inhibitory complexes to levels that ensure long-term SAC activity. We propose a model in which Polo controls Mps1-dependent BubR1 phosphorylation to promote Cdc20 kinetochore recruitment and sustained SAC function.

Protein Phosphatase 1 inactivates Mps1 to ensure efficient Spindle Assembly Checkpoint silencing.

Project description:Faithfull genome partitioning during cell division relies on the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC), a conserved signaling pathway that delays anaphase onset until all chromosomes are attached to spindle microtubules. Mps1 kinase is an upstream SAC regulator that promotes the assembly of an anaphase inhibitor through a sequential multi-target phosphorylation cascade. Thus, the SAC is highly responsive to Mps1, whose activity peaks in early mitosis as a result of its T-loop autophosphorylation. However, the mechanism controlling Mps1 inactivation once kinetochores attach to microtubules and the SAC is satisfied remains unknown. Here we show in vitro and in Drosophila that Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) inactivates Mps1 by dephosphorylating its T-loop. PP1-mediated dephosphorylation of Mps1 occurs at kinetochores and in the cytosol, and inactivation of both pools of Mps1 during metaphase is essential to ensure prompt and efficient SAC silencing. Overall, our findings uncover a mechanism of SAC inactivation required for timely mitotic exit.

Targeting Mps1 in combination with paclitaxel inhibits osteosarcoma progression by modulating spindle assembly checkpoint and Akt/mTOR signaling.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents and is characterized by early metastasis and frequent recurrence, which greatly affects patient prognosis and survival rates. However, the treatment of OS, its recurrence and subsequent metastasis is now at a clinical bottleneck. To explore new OS chemotherapeutic targets, investigate new therapeutic strategies and improve patient prognosis and survival rates, the roles of paclitaxel (PTX) and monopolar spindle kinase 1 (Mps1) in OS were investigated using in vivo and in vitro models. Mps1 expression was upregulated in OS samples and associated with patient survival times. Moreover, spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) activation and upregulation of Akt/mTOR signaling were both positively associated with OS progression. PTX treatment significantly inhibited Mps1 expression, as well as migration of OS cells both in vitro. In addition, the combination of Mps1 knockdown and PTX treatment inhibited OS progression in vivo. Mps1 overexpression inhibited the expression of SAC markers and upregulated Akt and mTOR expression, while Mps1 knockdown had the opposite effect. Cells subjected to combined Mps1 knockdown and PTX treatment exhibited activation of SAC and inhibition of Akt/mTOR signaling compared with Mps1 knockdown or PTX treatment alone. Based on these observations, Mps1 inhibition combined with PTX treatment may represent a potentially effective strategy for the treatment of OS.

ARHGEF17 is an essential spindle assembly checkpoint factor that targets Mps1 to kinetochores.

Project description:To prevent genome instability, mitotic exit is delayed until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). In this study, we characterized the function of ARHGEF17, identified in a genome-wide RNA interference screen for human mitosis genes. Through a series of quantitative imaging, biochemical, and biophysical experiments, we showed that ARHGEF17 is essential for SAC activity, because it is the major targeting factor that controls localization of the checkpoint kinase Mps1 to the kinetochore. This mitotic function is mediated by direct interaction of the central domain of ARHGEF17 with Mps1, which is autoregulated by the activity of Mps1 kinase, for which ARHGEF17 is a substrate. This mitosis-specific role is independent of ARHGEF17's RhoGEF activity in interphase. Our study thus assigns a new mitotic function to ARHGEF17 and reveals the molecular mechanism for a key step in SAC establishment.

PP2A-B56 opposes Mps1 phosphorylation of Knl1 and thereby promotes spindle assembly checkpoint silencing.

Project description:The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors correct attachment of chromosomes to microtubules, an important safeguard mechanism ensuring faithful chromosome segregation in eukaryotic cells. How the SAC signal is turned off once all the chromosomes have successfully attached to the spindle remains an unresolved question. Mps1 phosphorylation of Knl1 results in recruitment of the SAC proteins Bub1, Bub3, and BubR1 to the kinetochore and production of the wait-anaphase signal. SAC silencing is therefore expected to involve a phosphatase opposing Mps1. Here we demonstrate in vivo and in vitro that BubR1-associated PP2A-B56 is a key phosphatase for the removal of the Mps1-mediated Knl1 phosphorylations necessary for Bub1/BubR1 recruitment in mammalian cells. SAC silencing is thus promoted by a negative feedback loop involving the Mps1-dependent recruitment of a phosphatase opposing Mps1. Our findings extend the previously reported role for BubR1-associated PP2A-B56 in opposing Aurora B and suggest that BubR1-bound PP2A-B56 integrates kinetochore surveillance and silencing of the SAC.

Mps1 dimerization and multisite interactions with Ndc80 complex enable responsive spindle assembly checkpoint signaling.

Project description:Error-free mitosis depends on accurate chromosome attachment to spindle microtubules, which is monitored by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) signaling. As an upstream factor of SAC, the precise and dynamic kinetochore localization of Mps1 kinase is critical for initiating and silencing SAC signaling. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that the multisite interactions between Mps1 and Ndc80 complex (Ndc80C) govern Mps1 kinetochore targeting. Importantly, we identified direct interaction between Mps1 tetratricopeptide repeat domain and Ndc80C. We further identified that Mps1 C-terminal fragment, which contains the protein kinase domain and C-tail, enhances Mps1 kinetochore localization. Mechanistically, Mps1 C-terminal fragment mediates its dimerization. Perturbation of C-tail attenuates the kinetochore targeting and activity of Mps1, leading to aberrant mitosis due to compromised SAC function. Taken together, our study highlights the importance of Mps1 dimerization and multisite interactions with Ndc80C in enabling responsive SAC signaling.

Mps1 Phosphorylates Its N-Terminal Extension to Relieve Autoinhibition and Activate the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint.

Project description:Monopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) is a conserved apical kinase in the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that ensures accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis. Mps1 undergoes extensive auto- and transphosphorylation, but the regulatory and functional consequences of these modifications remain unclear. Recent findings highlight the importance of intermolecular interactions between the N-terminal extension (NTE) of Mps1 and the Hec1 subunit of the NDC80 complex, which control Mps1 localization at kinetochores and activation of the SAC. Whether the NTE regulates other mitotic functions of Mps1 remains unknown. Here, we report that phosphorylation within the NTE contributes to Mps1 activation through relief of catalytic autoinhibition that is mediated by the NTE itself. Moreover, we find that this regulatory NTE function is independent of its role in Mps1 kinetochore recruitment. We demonstrate that the NTE autoinhibitory mechanism impinges most strongly on Mps1-dependent SAC functions and propose that Mps1 activation likely occurs sequentially through dimerization of a "prone-to-autophosphorylate" Mps1 conformer followed by autophosphorylation of the NTE prior to maximal kinase activation segment trans-autophosphorylation. Our observations underline the importance of autoregulated Mps1 activity in generation and maintenance of a robust SAC in human cells.

A common molecular mechanism underlies the role of Mps1 in chromosome biorientation and the spindle assembly checkpoint

Project description:The conserved Mps1 kinase corrects improper kinetochore-microtubule attachments, thereby ensuring chromosome biorientation. Yet, its critical targets in this process remain elusive. Mps1 is also involved in the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), the surveillance mechanism halting chromosome segregation until biorientation is attained. Its role in SAC activation is antagonized by the PP1 phosphatase and involves phosphorylation of Knl1/Spc105, which recruits Bub1 to kinetochores to promote assembly of SAC effector complexes. A crucial question is whether error correction and SAC activation are part of a single device or separable pathways. Here we characterise a novel yeast mutant, mps1-3, defective in chromosome biorientation and SAC activation. Through an unbiased screen for suppressors, we found that mutations lowering PP1 levels at Spc105 or forced association of Bub1 with Spc105 reinstate both chromosome biorientation and SAC signalling in mps1-3 cells. Our data strongly argue that Mps1-dependent phosphorylation of the Knl1/Spc105 kinetochore scaffold is critical for Mps1 function in both chromosome biorientation and SAC activation, thus supporting the idea that a common sensory apparatus simultaneously elicits error correction and SAC signalling.

PRP4 is a spindle assembly checkpoint protein required for MPS1, MAD1, and MAD2 localization to the kinetochores.

Project description:The spindle checkpoint delays anaphase onset until every chromosome kinetochore has been efficiently captured by the mitotic spindle microtubules. In this study, we report that the human pre-messenger RNA processing 4 (PRP4) protein kinase associates with kinetochores during mitosis. PRP4 depletion by RNA interference induces mitotic acceleration. Moreover, we frequently observe lagging chromatids during anaphase leading to aneuploidy. PRP4-depleted cells do not arrest in mitosis after nocodazole treatment, indicating a spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) failure. Thus, we find that PRP4 is necessary for recruitment or maintenance of the checkpoint proteins MPS1, MAD1, and MAD2 at the kinetochores. Our data clearly identify PRP4 as a previously unrecognized kinetochore component that is necessary to establish a functional SAC.
