Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Slx5/8 complex is the founding member of a recently defined class of ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs) that target sumoylated substrates. Slx5/8 has been implicated in genome stability and transcription, but the precise contribution to these processes is not clear. To characterize Slx5/8 function, we determined genome-wide changes in gene expression upon loss of either subunit. The majority of mRNA changes are part of a general stress response, also exhibited by mutants of other genome integrity pathways and therefore indicative of an indirect effect on transcription. Genome-wide binding analysis reveals a uniquely centromeric location for Slx5. Detailed phenotype analyses of slx5D and slx8D mutants show severe mitotic defects that include aneuploidy, spindle mispositioning, fish hook spindles and aberrant spindle kinetics. This is associated with accumulation of the PP2A regulatory subunit Rts1 at centromeres prior to entry into anaphase. Knockdown of the human STUbL orthologue RNF4 also results in chromosome segregation defects due to formation of chromosome bridges. The study shows that STUbLs have a conserved role in maintenance of chromosomal stability and the results link SUMO-dependent ubiquitination to a centromere-specific function during mitosis.

Project description:The Greatwall/Mastl kinase is an essential gene, which regulates the phosphatase activity that counteracts the phosphorylation of Cdk1 substrates. Although Mastl-/- MEFs can enter mitosis, they are unable to complete mitosis due to chromosome segregation defects. Here, we show that Mastl is essential for robust spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) maintenance. Mastl-/- MEFs display reduced phosphorylation and kinase activity of MPS1, which causes mislocalization of MPS1, Mad1, and Aurora B from the kinetochore and the inner centromere regions. This results in premature inactivation of SAC signalling and early anaphase onset without correction of chromosome-spindle attachment mistakes. Treatment of the knockout cells with protein phosphatase II inhibitor okadaic acid (OA) rescued decreased MPS1 activity, mislocalization of Aurora B, Mad1, MPS1, and premature mitotic slippage. Our data demonstrates how regulation of PP2A activity by Mastl kinase prevents premature SAC silencing as a result of controlling the phosphorylation status and activity of MPS1.

Project description:Proper centrosome movement to the bipolar position is a prerequisite for bipolar spindle orientation and genome stability. Polo like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a key mitotic kinase which controls centrosome separation. Here we found that Plk1 phosphorylated residue Thr76 in VCP/p97, an AAA-ATPase mainly involved in protein homeostasis, at centrosome from prophase to anaphase. This phosphorylation recruited VCP to centrosome to regulate centrosome orientation. VCP also exhibited strong co-localization with Eg5, a mitotic kinesin motor for centrosome movement, at mitotic spindle, and dephosphorylation of Thr76 in VCP was required for the enrichment of VCP and Eg5 to the spindle, thus, ensuring proper spindle orientation and chromosome segregation. Since genome instability is the hallmark of cancer and the phosphorylation of Thr76 in VCP is important for proper centrosome movement, spindle orientation, and chromosome segregation, we, thus, knocked down VCP in MDA-MB-231cells by its specific shRNA, and reconstituted the expression of VCP by infecting the cells with lentivirus encoding shRNA-resistant Flag-VCPWT or Flag-VCPT76A. We then implanted VCPWT- or VCPT76A-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells into nude mice and found that the tumor growth in mice implanted with VCPT76A-expressing cells was significantly slower when compared with the mice implanted with the Flag-VCPWT-expressing cells. To better understand the decreased tumor formation ability of Flag-VCPT76A-expressing cells, we isolated the primary breast tumor tissues for the RNA-Seq analysis. Of the 57,905 mapped whole genome genes in the isolated tumors, we identified 234 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.1).

Project description:Kinetochores are multiprotein assemblies that bind chromosomes to the spindle during mitosis. Despite conserved roles, repertoires of kinetochore proteins vary greatly across eukaryotes. In particular, most known components are not clearly detected in a group of parasites known as the Apicomplexa. Furthermore, flexibility in scale of amplification and an apparent incapability to delay cell cycle progression in response to spindle integrity has coined an idea these parasites divide in the absence of spindle checkpoints. In this study, we reunite divergent apicomplexan kinetochore components to a common eukaryotic set and additionally identify 9 kinetochore proteins that share little homology to known proteins. AKiTs are essential for chromosome segregation and show modes of division parallel to eukaryotic metaphase to anaphase transition and spindle assembly checkpoint signaling. These findings suggest conserved spindle assembly checkpoint signaling maintains fidelity during chromosome segregation in apicomplexan parasites.

Project description:Coordination between sister chromatid separation and segregation is crucial for accurate chromosome partitioning to the offspring. Key to this process is the ability of mitotic spindle microtubules to respond to different molecular signals and remodel their dynamics accordingly. Based on their function, spindle microtubules are conventionally divided into three classes: kinetochore, interpolar and astral microtubules (kMTs, iMTs and aMTs, respectively). While different mechanisms have been proposed to control kMT and iMT dynamics, aMT regulation remains elusive. We here show that aMT dynamics are tightly regulated. aMTs remain unstable up to metaphase to control spindle orientation and are stabilized at anaphase onset. Necessary and sufficient for this stabilization is the degradation of the mitotic cyclin Clb4 mediated by the Anaphase Promoting Complex in combination with its activator subunit Cdc20 (APC/CCdc20). Our results contribute to delineate a comprehensive picture of late mitotic events, where individual steps of the signalling cascade initiated by APC/CCdc20 activation and culminating in cohesin cleavage time the final stages of mitosis by sequentially modulating the dynamics of the three classes of spindle microtubules.

Project description:Alternative RNA splicing can generate distinct protein isoforms to allow for the differential control of cell processes across cell types. The chromosome segregation and cell division programs associated with somatic mitosis and germline meiosis display dramatic differences such as kinetochore orientation, cohesin removal, or the presence of a gap phase. These changes in chromosome segregation require alterations to the established cell division machinery. However, it remains unclear what aspects of kinetochore function and its regulatory control differ between the mitotic and meiotic cell divisions to rewire these core processes. Additionally, the alternative splice isoforms that differentially modulate distinct cell division programs have remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that mammalian germ cells express an alternative mRNA splice isoform for the kinetochore component, DSN1, a subunit of the MIS12 complex that links the centromeres to spindle microtubules during chromosome segregation. This germline DSN1 isoform bypasses the requirement for Aurora kinase phosphorylation for its centromere localization due to the absence of a key regulatory region allowing DSN1 to display persistent centromere localization. Expression of the germline DSN1 isoform in somatic cells results in constitutive kinetochore localization, chromosome segregation errors, and growth defects, providing an explanation for its tight cell type-specific expression. Reciprocally, precisely eliminating expression of the germline-specific DSN1 splice isoform in mouse models disrupts oocyte maturation and early embryonic divisions coupled with a reduction in fertility. Together, this work identifies a germline-specific splice isoform for a chromosome segregation component and implicates its role in mammalian fertility.

Project description:Segregation of homologous maternal and paternal centromeres to opposite poles during meiosis I depends on post-replicative crossing over between homologous non-sister chromatids, which creates chiasmata and therefore bivalent chromosomes. Destruction of sister chromatid cohesion along chromosome arms due to proteolytic cleavage of cohesin's Rec8 subunit by separase resolves chiasmata and thereby triggers the first meiotic division. This produces univalent chromosomes, the chromatids of which are held together by centromeric cohesin that has been protected from separase by shugoshin (Sgo1/MEI-S332) proteins. Here we show in both fission and budding yeast that Sgo1 recruits to centromeres a specific form of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Its inactivation causes loss of centromeric cohesin at anaphase I and random segregation of sister centromeres at the second meiotic division. Artificial recruitment of PP2A to chromosome arms prevents Rec8 phosphorylation and hinders resolution of chiasmata. Our data are consistent with the notion that efficient cleavage of Rec8 requires phosphorylation of cohesin and that this is blocked by PP2A at meiosis I centromeres.

Project description:Spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) regulators such as the Mps1 kinase not only delay anaphase onset, but also correct improper chromosome-spindle linkages that would otherwise lead to missegregation and aneuploidy. However, the substrates and mechanisms involved in this pathway of error correction remain poorly understood. Using a chemically tuned kinetochore-targeting assay, we show that Mps1 destabilizes microtubule attachments (K-fibers) epistatically to Aurora B, the other major error-correcting kinase. Through chemical genetics and quantitative proteomics, we identify both known and novel sites of Mps1- regulated phosphorylation at the outer kinetochore. Modification of these substrates was sensitive to microtubule tension and counterbalanced by the PP2A-B56 phosphatase, a positive regulator of chromosome-spindle interactions. Consistently, Mps1 inhibition rescued K-fiber stability after depleting PP2A-B56. We also identify the hinge region of the W-shaped Ska complex as a key effector of Mps1 at the kinetochore-microtubule interface, as mutations that mimic constitutive phosphorylation strongly destabilized K-fibers in vivo and inhibited the Ska complex’s conversion from lattice diffusion to end-coupled microtubule binding in vitro. Together these results provide new insights into how Mps1 modulates the microtubule-binding properties of the kinetochore to promote the selective stabilization of bipolar attachments and error-free chromosome segregation.

Project description:Chromosome segregation requires both the separation of sister chromatids and the sustained condensation of chromatids during anaphase. In yeast cells, cohesin is not only required for sister chromatid cohesion but also plays a major role in determining the structure of individual chromatids in metaphase. Separase cleavage is thought to remove all cohesin complexes from chromosomes to initiate anaphase. It is thus not clear how the length and organisation of segregating chromatids are maintained during anaphase in the absence of cohesin. Here we show that degradation of cohesin at the anaphase onset causes aberrant chromatid segregation. Hi-C analysis on segregating chromatids demonstrates that cohesin depletion causes loss of intrachromatid organisation. Surprisingly, TEV-mediated cleavage of cohesin does not dramatically disrupt chromatid organisation in anaphase, explaining why bulk segregation is achieved. In addition, we identified a small pool of cohesin complexes bound to telophase chromosomes in wildtype cells and show that they play a role in the organisation of centromeric regions. Our data demonstrate that in yeast cells, cohesin function is not over in metaphase, but extends to the anaphase period when chromatids are segregating.

The study shows that STUbLs have a conserved role in maintenance of chromosomal stability and the results link SUMO-dependent ubiquitination to a centromere-specific function during mitosis. Two channel microarrays were used. RNA isolated from a large amount of wt yeast from a single culture was used as a common reference. This common reference was used in one of the channels for each hybridization and used in the statistical analysis to obtain an average expression-profile for each deletion mutant relative to the wt. Two independent cultures were hybridized on two separate microarrays. For the first hybridization the Cy5 (red) labeled cRNA from the deletion mutant is hybridized together with the Cy3 (green) labeled cRNA from the common reference. For the replicate hybridization, the labels are swapped. Each gene is represented twice on the microarray, resulting in four measurements per mutant. Using the Erlenmeyer growth protocol up to five deletion strains were grown on a single day. In the tecan platereader, up to eleven deletion strains could be grown on a single day. Wt cultures were grown parallel to the deletion mutants to assess day-to-day variance.
