Aurora B regulates PP1γ-Repo-Man interactions to maintain the chromosome condensation state.


ABSTRACT: The mitotic kinase Aurora B regulates the condensation of chromatin into chromosomes by phosphorylating chromatin proteins during early mitosis, whereas the phosphatase PP1γ performs the opposite function. The roles of Aurora B and PP1γ must be tightly coordinated to maintain chromosomes at a high phosphorylation state, but the precise mechanisms regulating their function remain largely unclear. Here, mainly through immunofluorescence microscopy and co-immunoprecipitation assays, we find that dissociation of PP1γ from chromosomes is essential for maintaining chromosome phosphorylation. We uncover that PP1γ is recruited to mitotic chromosomes by its regulatory subunit Repo-Man in the absence of Aurora B activity and that Aurora B regulates dissociation of PP1γ by phosphorylating and disrupting PP1γ-Repo-Man interactions on chromatin. Overexpression of Repo-Man mutants that cannot be phosphorylated or inhibition of Aurora B kinase activity resulted in the retention of PP1γ on chromatin and prolonged the chromatin condensation process; a similar outcome was caused by the ectopic targeting of PP1γ to chromatin. Together, our findings reveal a novel regulation mechanism of chromatin condensation in which Aurora B counteracts PP1γ activity by releasing PP1γ from Repo-Man and may have important implications for understanding the regulations of dynamic structural changes of the chromosomes in mitosis.
