Cell cycle regulation of microtubule interactomes: multi-layered regulation is critical for the interphase/mitosis transition.

ABSTRACT: Microtubules dramatically change their dynamics and organization at the entry into mitosis. Although this change is mediated by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), how MAPs themselves are regulated is not well understood. Here we used an integrated multi-level approach to establish the framework and biological significance of MAP regulation critical for the interphase/mitosis transition. Firstly, we applied quantitative proteomics to determine global cell cycle changes in the profiles of MAPs in human and Drosophila cells. This uncovered a wide range of cell cycle regulations of MAPs previously unidentified. Secondly, systematic studies of human kinesins highlighted an overlooked aspect of kinesins: most mitotic kinesins suppress their affinity to microtubules or reduce their protein levels in interphase in combination with nuclear localization. Thirdly, in-depth analysis of a novel Drosophila MAP (Mink) revealed that the suppression of the microtubule affinity of this mitotic MAP in combination with nuclear localization is essential for microtubule organization in interphase, and phosphorylation of Mink is needed for kinetochore-microtubule attachment in mitosis. Thus, this first comprehensive analysis of MAP regulation for the interphase/mitosis transition advances our understanding of kinesin biology and reveals the prevalence and importance of multi-layered MAP regulation.

Ase1p organizes antiparallel microtubule arrays during interphase and mitosis in fission yeast.

Project description:Proper microtubule organization is essential for cellular processes such as organelle positioning during interphase and spindle formation during mitosis. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe presents a good model for understanding microtubule organization. We identify fission yeast ase1p, a member of the conserved ASE1/PRC1/MAP65 family of microtubule bundling proteins, which functions in organizing the spindle midzone during mitosis. Using fluorescence live cell imaging, we show that ase1p localizes to sites of microtubule overlaps associated with microtubule organizing centers at both interphase and mitosis. ase1Delta mutants fail to form overlapping antiparallel microtubule bundles, leading to interphase nuclear positioning defects, and premature mitotic spindle collapse. FRAP analysis revealed that interphase ase1p at overlapping microtubule minus ends is highly dynamic. In contrast, mitotic ase1p at microtubule plus ends at the spindle midzone is more stable. We propose that ase1p functions to organize microtubules into overlapping antiparallel bundles both in interphase and mitosis and that ase1p may be differentially regulated through the cell cycle.

Histone H3 phospho-regulation by KimH3 in both interphase and mitosis.

Project description:Histone H3 is phosphorylated at Ser10 by multiple kinases, and many of them are anti-cancer targets. Here, we report the first kinase that can phosphorylate H3Ser10 in both interphase and mitosis, which we named KimH3 (kinase of interphase and mitotic Histone H3). Meta-analysis indicates that KimH3 is upregulated in a broad spectrum of human cancers and its high expression is correlated with reduced the median survival time of cancer patients. In mitosis, CDK1 phosphorylates KimH3, which then phosphorylates H3Ser10 to regulate cell cycle procession. In interphase, EGF induces KimH3 activation and H3Ser10 phosphorylation, which is involved in MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway to activate immediate-early genes transcription. Consequently, a small molecule inhibitor of KimH3 significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice. This is not only consistent with the dual roles of KimH3 in both interphase and mitotic Histone H3 phosphorylation, but also reveals it as an important potential anti-cancer target.

A multi-layered structure of the interphase chromocenter revealed by proximity-based biotinylation.

Project description:During interphase centromeres often coalesce into a small number of chromocenters, which can be visualized as distinct, DAPI dense nuclear domains. Intact chromocenters play a major role in maintaining genome stability as they stabilize the transcriptionally silent state of repetitive DNA while ensuring centromere function. Despite its biological importance, relatively little is known about the molecular composition of the chromocenter or the processes that mediate chromocenter formation and maintenance. To provide a deeper molecular insight into the composition of the chromocenter and to demonstrate the usefulness of proximity-based biotinylation as a tool to investigate those questions, we performed super resolution microscopy and proximity-based biotinylation experiments of three distinct proteins associated with the chromocenter in Drosophila. Our work revealed an intricate internal architecture of the chromocenter suggesting a complex multilayered structure of this intranuclear domain.

A microtubule interactome: complexes with roles in cell cycle and mitosis.

Project description:The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton is required for many aspects of cell function, including the transport of intracellular materials, the maintenance of cell polarity, and the regulation of mitosis. These functions are coordinated by MT-associated proteins (MAPs), which work in concert with each other, binding MTs and altering their properties. We have used a MT cosedimentation assay, combined with 1D and 2D PAGE and mass spectrometry, to identify over 250 MAPs from early Drosophila embryos. We have taken two complementary approaches to analyse the cellular function of novel MAPs isolated using this approach. First, we have carried out an RNA interference (RNAi) screen, identifying 21 previously uncharacterised genes involved in MT organisation. Second, we have undertaken a bioinformatics analysis based on binary protein interaction data to produce putative interaction networks of MAPs. By combining both approaches, we have identified and validated MAP complexes with potentially important roles in cell cycle regulation and mitosis. This study therefore demonstrates that biologically relevant data can be harvested using such a multidisciplinary approach, and identifies new MAPs, many of which appear to be important in cell division.

Cell cycle-dependent organization of a bacterial centromere through multi-layered regulation of the ParABS system.

Project description:The accurate distribution of genetic material is crucial for all organisms. In most bacteria, chromosome segregation is achieved by the ParABS system, in which the ParB-bound parS sequence is actively partitioned by ParA. While this system is highly conserved, its adaptation in organisms with unique lifestyles and its regulation between developmental stages remain largely unexplored. Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a predatory bacterium proliferating through polyploid replication and non-binary division inside other bacteria. Our study reveals the subcellular dynamics and multi-layered regulation of the ParABS system, coupled to the cell cycle of B. bacteriovorus. We found that ParA:ParB ratios fluctuate between predation stages, their balance being critical for cell cycle progression. Moreover, the parS chromosomal context in non-replicative cells, combined with ParB depletion at cell division, critically contribute to the unique cell cycle-dependent organization of the centromere in this bacterium, highlighting new levels of complexity in chromosome segregation and cell cycle control.

Mitosis. Microtubule detyrosination guides chromosomes during mitosis.

Project description:Before chromosomes segregate into daughter cells, they align at the mitotic spindle equator, a process known as chromosome congression. Centromere-associated protein E (CENP-E)/Kinesin-7 is a microtubule plus-end-directed kinetochore motor required for congression of pole-proximal chromosomes. Because the plus-ends of many astral microtubules in the spindle point to the cell cortex, it remains unknown how CENP-E guides pole-proximal chromosomes specifically toward the equator. We found that congression of pole-proximal chromosomes depended on specific posttranslational detyrosination of spindle microtubules that point to the equator. In vitro reconstitution experiments demonstrated that CENP-E-dependent transport was strongly enhanced on detyrosinated microtubules. Blocking tubulin tyrosination in cells caused ubiquitous detyrosination of spindle microtubules, and CENP-E transported chromosomes away from spindle poles in random directions. Thus, CENP-E-driven chromosome congression is guided by microtubule detyrosination.

Dynamic kinetochore size regulation promotes microtubule capture and chromosome biorientation in mitosis.

Project description:Faithful chromosome segregation depends on the ability of sister kinetochores to attach to spindle microtubules. The outer layer of kinetochores transiently expands in early mitosis to form a fibrous corona, and compacts following microtubule capture. Here we show that the dynein adaptor Spindly and the RZZ (ROD-Zwilch-ZW10) complex drive kinetochore expansion in a dynein-independent manner. C-terminal farnesylation and MPS1 kinase activity cause conformational changes of Spindly that promote oligomerization of RZZ-Spindly complexes into a filamentous meshwork in cells and in vitro. Concurrent with kinetochore expansion, Spindly potentiates kinetochore compaction by recruiting dynein via three conserved short linear motifs. Expanded kinetochores unable to compact engage in extensive, long-lived lateral microtubule interactions that persist to metaphase, and result in merotelic attachments and chromosome segregation errors in anaphase. Thus, dynamic kinetochore size regulation in mitosis is coordinated by a single, Spindly-based mechanism that promotes initial microtubule capture and subsequent correct maturation of attachments.

Microtubule regulation in mitosis: tubulin phosphorylation by the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1.

Project description:The activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1 at the transition from interphase to mitosis induces important changes in microtubule dynamics. Cdk1 phosphorylates a number of microtubule- or tubulin-binding proteins but, hitherto, tubulin itself has not been detected as a Cdk1 substrate. Here we show that Cdk1 phosphorylates beta-tubulin both in vitro and in vivo. Phosphorylation occurs on Ser172 of beta-tubulin, a site that is well conserved in evolution. Using a phosphopeptide antibody, we find that a fraction of the cell tubulin is phosphorylated during mitosis, and this tubulin phosphorylation is inhibited by the Cdk1 inhibitor roscovitine. In mitotic cells, phosphorylated tubulin is excluded from microtubules, being present in the soluble tubulin fraction. Consistent with this distribution in cells, the incorporation of Cdk1-phosphorylated tubulin into growing microtubules is impaired in vitro. Additionally, EGFP-beta3-tubulin(S172D/E) mutants that mimic phosphorylated tubulin are unable to incorporate into microtubules when expressed in cells. Modeling shows that the presence of a phosphoserine at position 172 may impair both GTP binding to beta-tubulin and interactions between tubulin dimers. These data indicate that phosphorylation of tubulin by Cdk1 could be involved in the regulation of microtubule dynamics during mitosis.

Cytotoxic mechanism of tioconazole involves cell cycle arrest at mitosis through inhibition of microtubule assembly.

Project description:Tioconazole is one of the drugs used to treat topical mycotic infections. It exhibited severe toxicity during systemic administration; however, the molecular mechanism behind the cytotoxic effect was not well established. We employed HeLa cells as a model to investigate the molecular mechanism of its toxicity and discovered that tioconazole inhibited HeLa cell growth through mitotic block (37%). At the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (≈ 15 μM) tioconazole apparently depolymerized microtubules and caused defects in chromosomal congression at the metaphase plate. Tioconazole induced apoptosis and significantly hindered the migration of HeLa cells. Tioconazole bound to goat brain tubulin (K d, 28.3 ± 0.5 μM) and inhibited the assembly of microtubules in the in vitro assays. We report for the first time that tioconazole binds near to the colchicine site, based on the evidence from in vitro tubulin competition experiment and computational analysis. The conformation of tubulin dimer was found to be "curved" upon binding with tioconazole in the MD simulation. Tioconazole in combination with vinblastine synergistically inhibited the growth of HeLa cells and augmented the percentage of mitotic block by synergistically inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. Our study indicates that the systemic adverse effects of tioconazole are partly due to its effects on microtubules and cell cycle arrest. Since tioconazole is well tolerated at the topical level, it could be developed as a topical anticancer agent in combination with other systemic anticancer drugs.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-021-00516-w.
