Project description:Microtubules are ancient and highly conserved polymers composed of alpha and beta tubulin heterodimers. Their dynamic remodelling drives diverse cellular processes from organelle trafficking and chromosome segregation to templating more stable structures like those of centrioles and ciliary axonemes. While organisms like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii only have a single - and -tubulin gene, TUBB4B, is one of 10 human -tubulin isotypes which can pair with one of the 9 isotypes of -tubulin. Whether this diversification permits discrete transcriptional units for cell type specific expression, or whether additional functional differences exist between isotypes remains unclear. Here, using human disease genetics, we reveal three distinct classes of ciliopathic disease in human patients carrying de novo mutations in TUBB4B. Using structure-function studies, we demonstrate these mutations differentially affect microtubule dynamics and cilia formation in a dominant negative manner. Importantly, using patient-modelled mutant as well as knockout Tubb4b mice we establish a necessary and non-redundant function for TUBB4B in building centrioles and axonemes of multiciliated cells. Our results suggest that a functional difference in TUBB4B is required to support the unique microtubule architecture in motile ciliated cells. It places primary ciliary dyskinesia and the ciliopathies more broadly into an expanding phenotypic and clinical spectrum of human tubulinopathies.

Project description:Tubulin, one of the most abundant cytoskeletal building blocks, exhibits extensive isotype diversity in humans. Displaying high similarity, whether these distinct isotypes form cell-type and context specific microtubule structures is poorly understood. Studying a cohort of 11 patients with the motile ciliopathy primary ciliary dyskinesia as well as mouse mutants, we report mutations in the TUBB4B isotype specifically perturb centriole and cilium biogenesis. We demonstrate that distinct TUBB4B mutations differentially affect microtubule dynamics and cilia formation in a dominant negative manner. Finally, structure-function studies reveal that different TUBB4B mutations disrupt distinct tubulin interfaces allowing clear stratification of patients into three classes of ciliopathic disease. These findings illustrate that specific tubulin isotypes have unique and non-redundant subcellular functions and establishes the missing link between human tubulinopathies and ciliopathies.

Project description:The canonical mitotic cell cycle coordinates cell growth, DNA replication, centriole duplication and cytokinesis to generate two cells from one. In certain contexts, such as in mammalian trophoblast giant cells or hepatocytes, cells employ cell cycle variants like the endocycle or endomitosis to increase DNA content without undergoing cytokinesis. Multiciliated cells, found in the mammalian airway, brain ventricles and reproductive tracts, generate hundreds of centrioles during differentiation, each of which extend a motile cilium. We found that multiciliated cells utilize a variant of the cell cycle, which we refer to as the multiciliation cycle. The multiciliation cycle redeploys much of the mitotic cell cycle regulatory framework, including cell division kinases (CDKs) and cyclins, to generate hundreds of centrioles without undergoing DNA synthesis or cytokinesis. Unlike the mitotic cycle, a transcriptional repressor, E2F7, is upregulated during the multiciliation cycle. E2F7 directly represses genes encoding DNA synthesis machinery during the multiciliation cycle. Loss of E2F7 results in aberrant DNA synthesis and disruption of centriole biogenesis in differentiating multiciliated cells. Thus, multiciliation is coordinated by a variant cell cycle that uses E2F7 to uncouple centriole synthesis from DNA replication.

Project description:Multiciliated Ependymal Cells and Adult Neural Stem Cells are components of the adult neurogenic niche, essential for brain homeostasis. These cells share a common glial cell lineage regulated by the Geminin family members Geminin and GemC1/Mcidas. Ependymal precursors require GemC1/Mcidas expression to massively amplify centrioles and become multiciliated cells. Here we show that GemC1-dependent differentiation occurs mostly in cycling Radial Glial Cells, in which a DNA damage response, including replicative stress and dysfunctional telomeres, arrests the cell cycle after the G1/S restriction point due to the activation of the p53-p21 pathway, which contributes to centriole amplification. Telomerase expression in Radial Glial Cells impairs ependymal differentiation and favors the Neural Stem Cell fate.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. The canonical mitotic cell cycle coordinates DNA replication, centriole duplication and cytokinesis to generate two cells from one1. Some cells, such as mammalian trophoblast giant cells, use cell cycle variants like the endocycle to bypass mitosis2. Differentiating multiciliated cells, found in the mammalian airway, brain ventricles and reproductive tract, are post-mitotic but generate hundreds of centrioles, each of which matures into a basal body and nucleates a motile cilium3,4. Several cell cycle regulators have previously been implicated in specific steps of multiciliated cell differentiation5,6. Here we show that differentiating multiciliated cells integrate cell cycle regulators into a new alternative cell cycle, which we refer to as the multiciliation cycle. The multiciliation cycle redeploys many canonical cell cycle regulators, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their cognate cyclins. For example, cyclin D1, CDK4 and CDK6, which are regulators of mitotic G1-to-S progression, are required to initiate multiciliated cell differentiation. The multiciliation cycle amplifies some aspects of the canonical cell cycle, such as centriole synthesis, and blocks others, such as DNA replication. E2F7, a transcriptional regulator of canonical S-to-G2 progression, is expressed at high levels during the multiciliation cycle. In the multiciliation cycle, E2F7 directly dampens the expression of genes encoding DNA replication machinery and terminates the S phase-like gene expression program. Loss of E2F7 causes aberrant acquisition of DNA synthesis in multiciliated cells and dysregulation of multiciliation cycle progression, which disrupts centriole maturation and ciliogenesis. We conclude that multiciliated cells use an alternative cell cycle that orchestrates differentiation instead of controlling proliferation.

Project description:Mitosis segregates into each daughter cell two centrioles, the older of which is uniquely capable of generating a cilium. How this older centriole, called the mother centriole, initiates ciliogenesis remains poorly understood. We have identified an evolutionarily conserved complex comprised of CEP90, OFD1, MNR and FOPNL. Human mutations in CEP90, MNR and OFD1 cause ciliopathies. Super-resolution microscopy revealed that this complex forms a ring at the distal centriole. Centrioles of cells lacking MNR or CEP90 failed to assemble distal appendages and cannot generate cilia. In addition to the centrioles, complex members localized to centriolar satellites, proteinaceous granules surrounding the centrioles. Disruption of satellites did not affect distal appendage assembly, indicating that the centriolar pool is required for ciliogenesis. Consistent with an essential role in ciliogenesis, mice lacking MNR or CEP90 did not assemble cilia, did not survive beyond embryonic day 9.5, and did not transduce Hedgehog signals. In addition to ciliogenesis, MNR, but not CEP90, restrained centriolar length. MNR recruited both OFD1, required for centriolar length control, and CEP90, which recruits CEP83 to root distal appendages. Thus, an evolutionarily conserved ciliopathy-associated complex functions at the distal centriole to control centriole length and assemble distal appendages.
