Phosphorylation of Xenopus p31(comet) potentiates mitotic checkpoint exit.

ABSTRACT: p31(comet) plays an important role in spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) silencing. However, how p31(comet)'s activity is regulated remains unclear. Here we show that the timing of M-phase exit in Xenopus egg extracts (XEEs) depends upon SAC activity, even under conditions that are permissive for spindle assembly. p31(comet) antagonizes the SAC, promoting XEE progression into anaphase after spindles are fully formed. We further show that mitotic p31(comet) phosphorylation by Inhibitor of nuclear factor ?-B kinase-? (IKK-?) enhances this role in SAC silencing. Together, our findings implicate IKK-? in the control of anaphase timing in XEE through p31(comet) activation and SAC downregulation.

Mitotic slippage is determined by p31<sup>comet</sup> and the weakening of the spindle-assembly checkpoint.

Project description:Mitotic slippage involves cells exiting mitosis without proper chromosome segregation. Although degradation of cyclin B1 during prolonged mitotic arrest is believed to trigger mitotic slippage, its upstream regulation remains obscure. Whether mitotic slippage is caused by APC/CCDC20 activity that is able to escape spindle-assembly checkpoint (SAC)-mediated inhibition, or is actively promoted by a change in SAC activity remains an outstanding issue. We found that a major culprit for mitotic slippage involves reduction of MAD2 at the kinetochores, resulting in a progressive weakening of SAC during mitotic arrest. A further level of control of the timing of mitotic slippage is through p31comet-mediated suppression of MAD2 activation. The loss of kinetochore MAD2 was dependent on APC/CCDC20, indicating a feedback control of APC/C to SAC during prolonged mitotic arrest. The gradual weakening of SAC during mitotic arrest enables APC/CCDC20 to degrade cyclin B1, cumulating in the cell exiting mitosis by mitotic slippage.

Disassembly of mitotic checkpoint complexes by the joint action of the AAA-ATPase TRIP13 and p31(comet).

Project description:The mitotic (or spindle assembly) checkpoint system delays anaphase until all chromosomes are correctly attached to the mitotic spindle. When the checkpoint is active, a Mitotic Checkpoint Complex (MCC) assembles and inhibits the ubiquitin ligase Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C). MCC is composed of the checkpoint proteins Mad2, BubR1, and Bub3 associated with the APC/C activator Cdc20. When the checkpoint signal is turned off, MCC is disassembled and the checkpoint is inactivated. The mechanisms of the disassembly of MCC are not sufficiently understood. We have previously observed that ATP hydrolysis is required for the action of the Mad2-binding protein p31(comet) to disassemble MCC. We now show that HeLa cell extracts contain a factor that promotes ATP- and p31(comet)-dependent disassembly of a Cdc20-Mad2 subcomplex and identify it as Thyroid Receptor Interacting Protein 13 (TRIP13), an AAA-ATPase known to interact with p31(comet). The joint action of TRIP13 and p31(comet) also promotes the release of Mad2 from MCC, participates in the complete disassembly of MCC and abrogates checkpoint inhibition of APC/C. We propose that TRIP13 plays centrally important roles in the sequence of events leading to MCC disassembly and checkpoint inactivation.

p31(comet) inactivates the chemically induced Mad2-dependent spindle assembly checkpoint and leads to resistance to anti-mitotic drugs.

Project description:Mad2 is a key component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that delays the onset of anaphase until all kinetochores are attached to the spindle. It binds to Cdc20 and prevents it from promoting destruction of an anaphase inhibitor, Securin. Previously, we showed that a Mad2-binding protein, p31(comet), formed a complex with Mad2 upon the completion of spindle attachment. Here, we showed that the overexpression of p31(comet) can abolish the Mad2-dependent SAC that is induced by anti-mitotic drugs, including nocodazole, taxol, and monastrol; these drugs, except monastrol, cause aneuploidy in HeLa cells. In the absence of Eg5, which is a target of monastrol, overexpression of p31(comet) caused premature destruction of Securin and premature sister chromatid separation, but it did not cause aneuploidy. These results indicated that Eg5 kinesin function might be required for checkpoint exit and mitotic progression. Moreover, overexpression of p31(comet) led to resistance against apoptosis that was induced by nocodazole and taxol in human cells, and taxol resistance was dependent on the p31(comet)/Mad2 protein expression level ratio of in cancer cell lines. These results indicated that p31(comet) is an indicator of resistance to anti-mitotic drugs in cancer cells.

p31(comet) acts to ensure timely spindle checkpoint silencing subsequent to kinetochore attachment.

Project description:The spindle assembly checkpoint links the onset of anaphase to completion of chromosome-microtubule attachment and is mediated by the binding of Mad and Bub proteins to kinetochores of unattached or maloriented chromosomes. Mad2 and BubR1 traffic between kinetochores and the cytosol, thereby transmitting a "wait anaphase" signal to the anaphase-promoting complex. It is generally assumed that this signal dissipates automatically upon kinetochore-microtubule binding, but it has been shown that under conditions of nocodazole-induced arrest p31(comet), a Mad2-binding protein, is required for mitotic progression. In this article we investigate the localization and function of p31(comet) during normal, unperturbed mitosis in human and marsupial cells. We find that, like Mad2, p31(comet) traffics on and off kinetochores and is also present in the cytosol. Cells depleted of p31(comet) arrest in metaphase with mature bipolar kinetochore-microtubule attachments, a satisfied checkpoint, and high cyclin B levels. Thus p31(comet) is required for timely mitotic exit. We propose that p31(comet) is an essential component of the machinery that silences the checkpoint during each cell cycle.

Defining pathways of spindle checkpoint silencing: functional redundancy between Cdc20 ubiquitination and p31(comet).

Project description:The spindle checkpoint senses unattached or improperly attached kinetochores during mitosis, inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C), and delays anaphase onset to prevent aneuploidy. The mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) consisting of BubR1, Bub3, Mad2, and Cdc20 is a critical APC/C-inhibitory checkpoint complex in human cells. At the metaphase-anaphase transition, the spindle checkpoint turns off, and MCC disassembles to allow anaphase onset. The molecular mechanisms of checkpoint inactivation are poorly understood. A major unresolved issue is the role of Cdc20 autoubiquitination in this process. Although Cdc20 autoubiquitination can promote Mad2 dissociation from Cdc20, a nonubiquitinatable Cdc20 mutant still dissociates from Mad2 during checkpoint inactivation. Here, we show that depletion of p31(comet) delays Mad2 dissociation from Cdc20 mutants that cannot undergo autoubiquitination. Thus both p31(comet) and ubiquitination of Cdc20 are critical mechanisms of checkpoint inactivation. They act redundantly to promote Mad2 dissociation from Cdc20.

Role of Polo-like kinase 1 in the regulation of the action of p31<sup>comet</sup> in the disassembly of mitotic checkpoint complexes.

Project description:The Mad2-binding protein p31comet has important roles in the inactivation of the mitotic checkpoint system, which delays anaphase until chromosomes attach correctly to the mitotic spindle. The activation of the checkpoint promotes the assembly of a Mitotic Checkpoint Complex (MCC), which inhibits the action of the ubiquitin ligase APC/C (Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome) to degrade inhibitors of anaphase initiation. The inactivation of the mitotic checkpoint requires the disassembly of MCC. p31comet promotes the disassembly of mitotic checkpoint complexes by liberating their Mad2 component in a joint action with the ATPase TRIP13. Here, we investigated the regulation of p31comet action. The release of Mad2 from checkpoint complexes in extracts from nocodazole-arrested HeLa cells was inhibited by Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), as suggested by the effects of selective inhibitors of Plk1. Purified Plk1 bound to p31comet and phosphorylated it, resulting in the suppression of its activity (with TRIP13) to disassemble checkpoint complexes. Plk1 phosphorylated p31comet on S102, as suggested by the prevention of the phosphorylation of this residue in checkpoint extracts by the selective Plk1 inhibitor BI-2536 and by the phosphorylation of S102 with purified Plk1. An S102A mutant of p31comet had a greatly decreased sensitivity to inhibition by Plk1 of its action to disassemble mitotic checkpoint complexes. We propose that the phosphorylation of p31comet by Plk1 prevents a futile cycle of MCC assembly and disassembly during the active mitotic checkpoint.

Conformation-specific binding of p31(comet) antagonizes the function of Mad2 in the spindle checkpoint.

Project description:The spindle checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation by delaying anaphase in response to misaligned sister chromatids during mitosis. Upon checkpoint activation, Mad2 binds directly to Cdc20 and inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C). Cdc20 binding triggers a dramatic conformational change of Mad2. Consistent with an earlier report, we show herein that depletion of p31(comet) (formerly known as Cmt2) by RNA interference in HeLa cells causes a delay in mitotic exit following the removal of nocodazole. Purified recombinant p31(comet) protein antagonizes the ability of Mad2 to inhibit APC/C(Cdc20) in vitro and in Xenopus egg extracts. Interestingly, p31(comet) binds selectively to the Cdc20-bound conformation of Mad2. Binding of p31(comet) to Mad2 does not prevent the interaction between Mad2 and Cdc20 in vitro. During checkpoint inactivation in HeLa cells, p31(comet) forms a transient complex with APC/C(Cdc20)-bound Mad2. Purified p31(comet) enhances the activity of APC/C isolated from nocodazole-arrested HeLa cells without disrupting the Mad2-Cdc20 interaction. Therefore, our results suggest that p31(comet) counteracts the function of Mad2 and is required for the silencing of the spindle checkpoint.

RPA phosphorylation facilitates mitotic exit in response to mitotic DNA damage.

Project description:Human replication protein A (RPA) becomes phosphorylated on the RPA2 subunit by cyclin B-Cdc2 during mitosis, although the functional role of this modification is unclear. We find that this modification stimulates RPA2 to become hyperphosphorylated in response to mitotic DNA damage caused by bleomycin treatment. Cells in which endogenous RPA2 was replaced by a mutant subunit lacking both Cdc2 sites had a significant defect in mitotic release into a 2N G(1) phase after exposure to bleomycin. An increased percentage of these mutant cells also was positive initially for cyclin B expression and BubR1 chromatin staining, indicative of an extended spindle assembly checkpoint. The mutant cells that experienced mitotic DNA damage also underwent apoptosis at higher levels than cells expressing the WT subunit. Even so, we did not find the mutation had any dramatic effects on the level of DNA repair in mitosis. Cells lacking ATM (a checkpoint factor and RPA2 kinase) also were severely defective in mitotic exit and were unable to support RPA hyperphosphorylation after mitotic DNA damage. Although checkpoint 1 effector kinase (Chk1) had a more complex role, inhibition of Chk1 activity with UCN-01 also reduced mitotic exit. Chk1 activation and mitotic RPA hyperphosphorylation were found to be independent events. Our results demonstrate that mitotic RPA hyperphosphorylation facilitates release of cells from a damaged mitosis into a 2N G(1) phase, thereby increasing cell viability.

Hog1 activation delays mitotic exit via phosphorylation of Net1.

Project description:Adaptation to environmental changes is crucial for cell fitness. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, variations in external osmolarity trigger the activation of the stress-activated protein kinase Hog1 (high-osmolarity glycerol 1), which regulates gene expression, metabolism, and cell-cycle progression. The activation of this kinase leads to the regulation of G1, S, and G2 phases of the cell cycle to prevent genome instability and promote cell survival. Here we show that Hog1 delays mitotic exit when cells are stressed during metaphase. Hog1 phosphorylates the nucleolar protein Net1, altering its affinity for the phosphatase Cdc14, whose activity is essential for mitotic exit and completion of the cell cycle. The untimely release of Cdc14 from the nucleolus upon activation of Hog1 is linked to a defect in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and telomere segregation, and it ultimately delays cell division. A mutant of Net1 that cannot be phosphorylated by Hog1 displays reduced viability upon osmostress. Thus, Hog1 contributes to maximizing cell survival upon stress by regulating mitotic exit.

DNA damage-induced mitotic catastrophe is mediated by the Chk1-dependent mitotic exit DNA damage checkpoint.

Project description:Mitotic catastrophe is the response of mammalian cells to mitotic DNA damage. It produces tetraploid cells with a range of different nuclear morphologies from binucleated to multimicronucleated. In response to DNA damage, checkpoints are activated to delay cell cycle progression and to coordinate repair. Cells in different cell cycle phases use different mechanisms to arrest their cell cycle progression. It has remained unclear whether the termination of mitosis in a mitotic catastrophe is regulated by DNA damage checkpoints. Here, we report the presence of a mitotic exit DNA damage checkpoint in mammalian cells. This checkpoint delays mitotic exit and prevents cytokinesis and, thereby, is responsible for mitotic catastrophe. The DNA damage-induced mitotic exit delay correlates with the inhibition of Cdh1 activation and the attenuated degradation of cyclin B1. We demonstrate that the checkpoint is Chk1-dependent.
