Project description:Kinetochores form the link between chromosomes and microtubules of the mitotic spindle. The heterodecameric Dam1 complex (Dam1c) is a major component of the S. cerevisiae outer kinetochore, assembling into 3 MDa-sized microtubule-embracing rings, but how ring assembly is specifically initiated at kinetochores remains to be understood. Here, we describe a molecular pathway that provides local control of ring assembly during the establishment of sister kinetochore bi-orientation. We show that Dam1c and the general microtubule plus-end-associated protein (+TIP) Bim1/EB1 form a stable complex depending on a conserved motif in the Duo1 subunit of Dam1c. EM analyses reveal that Bim1 crosslinks protrusion domains of adjacent Dam1c heterodecamers and promotes the formation of oligomers with defined curvature. Disruption of the Dam1c-Bim1 interaction impairs kinetochore localization of Dam1c in metaphase and delays mitosis. Phosphorylation promotes Dam1c-Bim1 binding by relieving an intramolecular inhibition of the Dam1 C-terminus. In addition, Bim1 recruits Bik1/CLIP-170 to Dam1c and induces formation of full rings even in the absence of microtubules. Our data help to explain how new kinetochore end-on attachments are formed during the process of attachment error correction.

Project description:Kinetochores are macromolecular protein complexes that ensure accurate chromosome segregation by linking chromosomes to spindle microtubules and integrating safeguard mechanisms. In yeast, the inner kinetochore, also known as Constitutive Centromere Associated Network (CCAN), is specifically established at point centromeres and has been implicated in contributing to Aurora-BIpl1 function. In an attempt to gain a more detailed picture of the budding yeast kinetochore architecture, crosslink-guided in vitro reconstitution revealed novel direct interactions of the inner kinetochore assembled on Cse4CENP-A nucleosomes. The Ame1/Okp1CENP-U/Q heterodimer selectively bound Cse4CENP-A nucleosomes through the Cse4 N-terminus, providing an explanation for the essential role of the COMA complex in budding yeast. Moreover, the Sli15/Ipl1 core chromosomal passenger complex was found to directly interact with COMA in vitro, suggesting a hitherto unknown role of the COMA complex in establishing biorientation. In line with this finding, in vivo artificial tethering of Sli15 to inner kinetochore proteins rescued synthetically lethal subunit deletion phenotypes in a Sli15 centromere targeting deficient mutant. This study reveals characteristics of the inner kinetochore architecture assembled at point centromeres and its implications on chromosomal passenger complex function.

Project description:Kinetochores are megadalton-sized protein complexes that mediate chromosome-microtubule interactions in eukaryotes. How kinetochore assembly is triggered specifically on centromeric chromatin is poorly understood. Here we use biochemical reconstitution experiments alongside genetic and structural analysis to delineate the contributions of centromere-associated proteins to kinetochore assembly in yeast. We show that the conserved kinetochore subunits Ame1(CENP-U) and Okp1(CENP-Q) form a DNA-binding complex that associates with the microtubule-binding KMN network via a short Mtw1 recruitment motif in the N terminus of Ame1. Point mutations in the Ame1 motif disrupt kinetochore function by preventing KMN assembly on chromatin. Ame1-Okp1 directly associates with the centromere protein C (CENP-C) homologue Mif2 to form a cooperative binding platform for outer kinetochore assembly. Our results indicate that the key assembly steps, CENP-A recognition and outer kinetochore recruitment, are executed through different yeast constitutive centromere-associated network subunits. This two-step mechanism may protect against inappropriate kinetochore assembly similar to rate-limiting nucleation steps used by cytoskeletal polymers.

Project description:The neuronal SNARE complex assembles from vesicular Synaptobrevin-2 as well as Syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 anchored to the presynaptic membrane. It mediates fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane resulting in exocytosis of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. While the general sequence of SNARE complex formation is well-established, our knowledge on possible intermediates is still incomplete. We, therefore, follow the step-wise assembly of the SNARE complex and target individual SNAREs, binary sub-complexes, the ternary SNARE complex as well as interactions with Complexin-1. Using native mass spectrometry, we identify the stoichiometry of preferred sub-complexes and monitor oligomerisation of various assemblies. Importantly, we find that interactions with Complexin-1 reduce self-association of the ternary SNARE complex. Chemical cross-linking provides detailed insights into these interactions suggesting a role during membrane fusion. Taken together, we unravel possible intermediates and preferred sub-complexes and compile a road map of SNARE complex assembly including regulation by Complexin-1.

Project description:The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) is the only known ubiquitin ligase that generates linear/Met1-linked ubiquitin chains. One of the LUBAC components, HOIL-1L, was recently shown to catalyse oxyester bond formation between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and some substrates. However, oxyester bond formation in the context of LUBAC has not been directly observed. We present the first 3D reconstruction of LUBAC obtained by electron microscopy and report its generation of heterotypic ubiquitin chains containing linear linkages with oxyester-linked branches. We found that addition of the oxyester-bound branches depends on HOIL-1L catalytic activity. We suggest a coordinated ubiquitin relay mechanism between the HOIP and HOIL-1L ligases supported by cross-linking mass spectrometry data, which show proximity between the catalytic RBR domains. Mutations in the linear ubiquitin chain-binding NZF domain of HOIL-1L reduces chain branching confirming its role in the process. In cells, these heterotypic chains were induced by TNF. In conclusion, we demonstrate that LUBAC assembles heterotypic ubiquitin chains with linear and oxyester-linked branches by the concerted action of HOIP and HOIL-1L.

Project description:In mitosis, the augmin complex binds to spindle microtubules to recruit the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC), the principal microtubule nucleator, for the formation of branched microtubules. Our understanding of augmin-mediated microtubule branching is strongly hampered by the lack of structural information on the augmin complex. Here we elucidate the molecular architecture and define the conformational plasticity of the augmin complex using an integrative structural biology approach. The elongated structure of the augmin complex is characterised by extensive coiled-coil segments and comprises two structural elements with distinct but complementary functions in γ-TuRC and microtubule binding, linked by a flexible hinge. The augmin complex is recruited to microtubules via a composite microtubule binding site comprising a positively charged unordered extension and two Calponin homology domains. Our study provides the structural basis for augmin function in branched microtubule formation, decisively fostering our understanding of spindle formation in mitosis.

Project description:Binding of CBF3, a protein complex consisting of Ndc10p, Cep3p, Ctf13p, and Skp1p, to the centromere DNA nucleates kinetochore formation in budding yeast. Here, we investigate how the Ctf13p/Skp1p complex becomes competent to form the CBF3-centromere DNA complex. As revealed by mass spectrometry, Ctf13p and Skp1p carry two and four phosphate groups, respectively. Complete dephosphorylation of Ctf13p and Skp1p does not interfere with the formation of CBF3-centromere DNA complexes in vitro. Furthermore, deletion of corresponding phosphorylation sites results in viable cells. Thus, in contrast to the current view, phosphorylation of Ctf13p and Skp1p is not essential for the formation of CBF3-centromere DNA complexes. Instead, the formation of active Ctf13p/Skp1p requires Hsp90. Several lines of evidence support this conclusion: activation of heterologous Ctf13p/Skp1p by reticulocyte lysate is inhibited by geldanamycin and Hsp90 depletion. skp1 mutants exhibit growth defects on media containing geldanamycin. A skp1 mutation together with Hsp90 mutations exhibits synthetic lethality. An Hsp90 mutant contains decreased levels of active Ctf13p/Skp1p.

Project description:Kinetochores are large multiprotein complexes that connect centromeres to spindle microtubules in all eukaryotes. Among the biochemically distinct kinetochore complexes, the conserved four-protein Mtw1 complex is a central part of the kinetochore in all organisms. Here we present the biochemical reconstitution and characterization of the budding yeast Mtw1 complex. Direct visualization by electron microscopy revealed an elongated bilobed structure with a 25-nm-long axis. The complex can be assembled from two stable heterodimers consisting of Mtw1p-Nnf1p and Dsn1p-Nsl1p, and it interacts directly with the microtubule-binding Ndc80 kinetochore complex via the centromere-proximal Spc24/Spc25 head domain. In addition, we have reconstituted a partial Ctf19 complex and show that it directly associates with the Mtw1 complex in vitro. Ndc80 and Ctf19 complexes do not compete for binding to the Mtw1 complex, suggesting that Mtw1 can bridge the microtubule-binding components of the kinetochore to the inner centromere.
