Cep63 and cep152 cooperate to ensure centriole duplication.

ABSTRACT: Centrosomes consist of two centrioles embedded in pericentriolar material and function as the main microtubule organising centres in dividing animal cells. They ensure proper formation and orientation of the mitotic spindle and are therefore essential for the maintenance of genome stability. Centrosome function is crucial during embryonic development, highlighted by the discovery of mutations in genes encoding centrosome or spindle pole proteins that cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly, including Cep63 and Cep152. In this study we show that Cep63 functions to ensure that centriole duplication occurs reliably in dividing mammalian cells. We show that the interaction between Cep63 and Cep152 can occur independently of centrosome localisation and that the two proteins are dependent on one another for centrosomal localisation. Further, both mouse and human Cep63 and Cep152 cooperate to ensure efficient centriole duplication by promoting the accumulation of essential centriole duplication factors upstream of SAS-6 recruitment and procentriole formation. These observations describe the requirement for Cep63 in maintaining centriole number in dividing mammalian cells and further establish the order of events in centriole formation.

Project description:The centrosome is a unique membraneless organelle that plays a pivotal role in the orderly progression of the cell cycle in animal cells. It has been shown that two pericentriolar scaffold proteins, Cep63 and Cep152, generate a heterotetrameric complex to self-assemble into a higher-order cylindrical architecture around a centriole. However, the mechanisms underlying how they reach their threshold concentrations in the vast intracellular space and generate a self-assembled architecture remain mysterious. Here we demonstrate that, like liquid-like assemblies, Cep63 and Cep152 cooperatively generate amorphous aggregates capable of undergoing dynamic turnover and inter-aggregate fusion in vivo and a significant level of internal rearrangemefnt within a condensate in vitro. Consistently, 1,6-hexanediol, a liquid-liquid phase separation disruptor, greatly diminished the ability of endogenous Cep63 and Cep152 to localize to centrosomes. Interestingly, a purified Cep63•Cep152 complex generated either a cylindrical structure or a vesicle-like hollow sphere in a spatially controlled manner. It also formed condensate-like solid spheres in the presence of a macromolecular crowder. At the molecular level, two hydrophobic motifs, one each from Cep63 and Cep152, were required for generating phase-separating condensates and a high molecular-weight assembly. Thus, we propose that the self-assembly of the Cep63•Cep152 complex is triggered by an intrinsic property of the complex undergoing density transition through the hydrophobic-motif-mediated phase separation.
