Tank binding kinase 1 is a centrosome-associated kinase necessary for microtubule dynamics and mitosis.

ABSTRACT: TANK Binding Kinase 1 (TBK1) is a non-canonical I?B kinase that contributes to KRAS-driven lung cancer. Here we report that TBK1 plays essential roles in mammalian cell division. Specifically, levels of active phospho-TBK1 increase during mitosis and localize to centrosomes, mitotic spindles and midbody, and selective inhibition or silencing of TBK1 triggers defects in spindle assembly and prevents mitotic progression. TBK1 binds to the centrosomal protein CEP170 and to the mitotic apparatus protein NuMA, and both CEP170 and NuMA are TBK1 substrates. Further, TBK1 is necessary for CEP170 centrosomal localization and binding to the microtubule depolymerase Kif2b, and for NuMA binding to dynein. Finally, selective disruption of the TBK1-CEP170 complex augments microtubule stability and triggers defects in mitosis, suggesting that TBK1 functions as a mitotic kinase necessary for microtubule dynamics and mitosis.

Kv10.1 Regulates Microtubule Dynamics during Mitosis.

Project description:Kv10.1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 1, known as EAG1 or Ether-à-go-go 1), is a voltage-gated potassium channel, prevailingly expressed in the central nervous system. The aberrant expression of Kv10.1 is detected in over 70% of all human tumor tissues and correlates with poorer prognosis. In peripheral tissues, Kv10.1 is expressed almost exclusively during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and regulates its progression-downregulation of Kv10.1 extends the duration of the G2/M phase both in cancer and healthy cells. Here, using biochemical and imaging techniques, such as live-cell measurements of microtubule growth and of cytosolic calcium, we elucidate the mechanisms of Kv10.1-mediated regulation at the G2/M phase. We show that Kv10.1 has a dual effect on mitotic microtubule dynamics. Through the functional interaction with ORAI1 (calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1), it modulates cytosolic calcium oscillations, thereby changing microtubule behavior. The inhibition of either Kv10.1 or ORAI1 stabilizes the microtubules. In contrast, the knockdown of Kv10.1 increases the dynamicity of mitotic microtubules, resulting in a stronger spindle assembly checkpoint, greater mitotic spindle angle, and a decrease in lagging chromosomes. Understanding of Kv10.1-mediated modulation of the microtubule architecture will help to comprehend how cancer tissue benefits from the presence of Kv10.1, and thereby increase the efficacy and safety of Kv10.1-directed therapeutic strategies.

Microtubule dynamics in mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans.

Project description:Mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans is very rapid, requiring less than 5 min at 37 °C in germlings (Bergen and Morris, 1983). In this time the cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) must disassemble, the mitotic spindle assemble, function and disassemble, and cytoplasmic MTs reassemble. It follows that cytoplasmic MTs must be extremely dynamic in this period and we were interested, in particular, in examining the processes of MT disassembly in prophase and reassembly in anaphase and telophase. We observed a diploid strain that expressed GFP-?-tubulin. We used a spinning disk confocal microscope that allowed rapid image capture, which proved necessary because microtubule dynamics were extremely rapid. We found, for the first time, that microtubule severing occurs in prophase in a filamentous fungus and that catastrophe rather than nucleation limits astral microtubule growth.

Differential sensitivity of Glioma stem cells to Aurora kinase A inhibitors: implications for stem cell mitosis and centrosome dynamics.

Project description:Glioma stem-cell-like cells are considered to be responsible for treatment resistance and tumour recurrence following chemo-radiation in glioblastoma patients, but specific targets by which to kill the cancer stem cell population remain elusive. A characteristic feature of stem cells is their ability to undergo both symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions. In this study we have analysed specific features of glioma stem cell mitosis. We found that glioma stem cells appear to be highly prone to undergo aberrant cell division and polyploidization. Moreover, we discovered a pronounced change in the dynamic of mitotic centrosome maturation in these cells. Accordingly, glioma stem cell survival appeared to be strongly dependent on Aurora A activity. Unlike differentiated cells, glioma stem cells responded to moderate Aurora A inhibition with spindle defects, polyploidization and a dramatic increase in cellular senescence, and were selectively sensitive to Aurora A and Plk1 inhibitor treatment. Our study proposes inhibition of centrosomal kinases as a novel strategy to selectively target glioma stem cells.

Effects of ALS-associated TANK binding kinase 1 mutations on protein-protein interactions and kinase activity.

Project description:Exonic DNA sequence variants in the Tbk1 gene associate with both sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we examine functional defects in 25 missense TBK1 mutations, focusing on kinase activity and protein-protein interactions. We identified kinase domain (KD) mutations that abolish kinase activity or display substrate-specific defects in specific pathways, such as innate immunity and autophagy. By contrast, mutations in the scaffold dimerization domain (SDD) of TBK1 can cause the loss of kinase activity due to structural disruption, despite an intact KD. Familial ALS mutations in ubiquitin-like domain (ULD) or SDD display defects in dimerization; however, a subset retains kinase activity. These observations indicate that TBK1 dimerization is not required for kinase activation. Rather, dimerization seems to increase protein stability and enables efficient kinase-substrate interactions. Our study revealed many aspects of TBK1 activities affected by ALS mutations, highlighting the complexity of disease pathogenicity and providing insights into TBK1 activation mechanism.

Targeting TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) in cancer.

Project description:IntroductionTANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a Ser/Thr kinase with a central role in coordinating the cellular response to invading pathogens and regulating key inflammatory signaling cascades. While intact TBK1 signaling is required for successful anti-viral signaling, dysregulated TBK1 signaling has been linked to a variety of pathophysiologic conditions, including cancer. Several lines of evidence support a role for TBK1 in cancer pathogenesis, but the specific roles and regulation of TBK1 remain incompletely understood. A key challenge is the diversity of cellular processes that are regulated by TBK1, including inflammation, cell cycle, autophagy, energy homeostasis, and cell death. Nevertheless, evidence from pre-clinical cancer models suggests that targeting TBK1 may be an effective strategy for anti-cancer therapy in specific settings.Areas coveredThis review provides an overview of the roles and regulation of TBK1 with a focus on cancer pathogenesis and drug targeting of TBK1 as an anti-cancer strategy. Relevant literature was derived from a PubMed search encompassing studies from 1999 to 2020.Expert opinionTBK1 is emerging as a potential target for anti-cancer therapy. Inhibition of TBK1 alone may be insufficient to restrain the growth of most cancers; hence, combination strategies will likely be necessary. Improved understanding of tumor-intrinsic and tumor-extrinsic TBK1 signaling will inform novel therapeutic strategies.

Human chromokinesins promote chromosome congression and spindle microtubule dynamics during mitosis.

Project description:Chromokinesins are microtubule plus end-directed motor proteins that bind to chromosome arms. In Xenopus egg cell-free extracts, Xkid and Xklp1 are essential for bipolar spindle formation but the functions of the human homologues, hKID (KIF22) and KIF4A, are poorly understood. By using RNAi-mediated protein knockdown in human cells, we find that only co-depletion delayed progression through mitosis in a Mad2-dependent manner. Depletion of hKID caused abnormal chromosome arm orientation, delayed chromosome congression, and sensitized cells to nocodazole. Knockdown of KIF4A increased the number and length of microtubules, altered kinetochore oscillations, and decreased kinetochore microtubule flux. These changes were associated with failures in establishing a tight metaphase plate and an increase in anaphase lagging chromosomes. Co-depletion of both chromokinesins aggravated chromosome attachment failures, which led to mitotic arrest. Thus, hKID and KIF4A contribute independently to the rapid and correct attachment of chromosomes by controlling the positioning of chromosome arms and the dynamics of microtubules, respectively.

Organization of microtubule plus-end dynamics by phase separation in mitosis.

Project description:In eukaryotes, microtubule polymers are essential for cellular plasticity and fate decisions. End-binding (EB) proteins serve as scaffolds for orchestrating microtubule polymer dynamics and are essential for cellular dynamics and chromosome segregation in mitosis. Here, we show that EB1 forms molecular condensates with TIP150 and MCAK through liquid-liquid phase separation to compartmentalize the kinetochore-microtubule plus-end machinery, ensuring accurate kinetochore-microtubule interactions during chromosome segregation in mitosis. Perturbation of EB1-TIP150 polymer formation by a competing peptide prevents phase separation of the EB1-mediated complex and chromosome alignment at the metaphase equator in both cultured cells and Drosophila embryos. Lys220 of EB1 is dynamically acetylated by p300/CBP-associated factor in early mitosis, and persistent acetylation at Lys220 attenuates the phase separation of the EB1-mediated complex, dissolves droplets in vitro, and harnesses accurate chromosome segregation. Our data suggest a novel framework for understanding the organization and regulation of eukaryotic spindle for accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis.

Organization and dynamics of growing microtubule plus ends during early mitosis.

Project description:A stable cell line expressing EB1-green fluorescent protein was used to image growing microtubule plus ends at the G(2)/M transition. By late prophase growing ends no longer extend to the cell periphery and were not uniformly distributed around each centrosome. Growing ends were much more abundant in the area surrounding the nuclear envelope, and microtubules growing around the nucleus were 1.5 fold longer than those growing in the opposite direction. The growth of longer ends toward the nucleus did not result from a localized faster growth rate, because this rate was approximately 11 microm/min in all directions from the centrosome. Rather, microtubule ends growing toward the nucleus seemed stabilized by dynein/dynactin associated with the nuclear envelope. Injection of p50 into late prophase cells removed dynein from the nuclear envelope, reduced the density of growing ends near the nuclear envelope and resulted in a uniform distribution of growing ends from each centrosome. We suggest that the cell cycle-dependent binding of dynein/dynactin to the nuclear envelope locally stabilizes growing microtubules. Both dynein and microtubules would then be in a position to participate in nuclear envelope breakdown, as described in recent studies.

Mild replication stress causes aneuploidy by deregulating microtubule dynamics in mitosis.

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) causes structural and numerical chromosome aberrations and represents a hallmark of cancer. Replication stress (RS) has emerged as a driver for structural chromosome aberrations while mitotic defects can cause whole chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy. Recently, first evidence indicated that RS can also influence chromosome segregation in cancer cells exhibiting CIN, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that chromosomally unstable cancer cells suffer from very mild RS, which allows efficient proliferation and which can be mimicked by treatment with very low concentrations of aphidicolin. Both, endogenous RS and aphidicolin-induced very mild RS cause chromosome missegregation during mitosis leading to the induction of aneuploidy. Moreover, RS triggers an increase in microtubule plus end growth rates in mitosis, an abnormality previously identified to cause chromosome missegregation in cancer cells. In fact, RS-induced chromosome missegregation is mediated by increased mitotic microtubule growth rates and is suppressed after restoration of proper microtubule growth rates and upon rescue of replication stress. Hence, very mild and cancer-relevant RS triggers aneuploidy by deregulating microtubule dynamics in mitosis.

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.
