Integrity of the short arm of nuclear pore Y-complex is required for mouse embryonic stem cell growth and differentiation

ABSTRACT: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are established players in cell division and differentiation. However studies on the contribution of individual NPC subunits to these processes are still scarce. Here we have used mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to characterize the role of structural components of the NPCs, focusing on the short arm of the Y-complex that comprises Nup85, Seh1 and Nup43. We show that Seh1 and Nup43, although dispensable at the pluripotent stage, are required for normal cell growth rates at that stage and for mESC viability upon differentiation. Lack of Seh1 or Nup43 in mESCs is associated with a mild reduction of NPC density that is also observed when Seh1 interaction with Nup85 is impaired. Nevertheless, mESC proliferation and differentiation are not altered in these ∆E2-GFP-Nup85 mutants, indicating that it is the integrity of the Y-complex, rather than the number of NPCs, that is critical to ensure these processes.

Project description:Nup133 belongs to the Y-complex, a key component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) scaffold. Studies on a null mutation in mice previously revealed that Nup133 is essential for embryonic development but not for mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) proliferation. Using single pore detection and average NE-fluorescence intensity, we find that Nup133 is dispensable for interphase and postmitotic NPC scaffold assembly in pluripotent mESCs. However, loss of Nup133 specifically perturbs the formation of the nuclear basket as manifested by the absence of Tpr in about half of the NPCs combined with altered dynamics of Nup153. Nup153 is a large multifunctional protein that interacts with both the Y-complex and Tpr through its N-terminal NPC-targeting domain (NTD, [aa 1-339]) (Hase and Cordes, 2003; Vasu et al., 2001). To explore the possibility that the interaction between Nup153-NTD and the Y-complex or Tpr requires Nup133, we performed pull down assays on whole protein extracts from WT and Nup133-/- mESCs using recombinant Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339] as bait. Nup153 [aa 1-245], lacking the binding domains for the Y-complex and Tpr served as control. Western blot and quantitative mass spectrometry analyses detected Nup133 only in WT samples and documented its specific enrichment, along with other tested Y-Nups and Tpr, in the Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339] bound fraction. These analyses also revealed a similar enrichment of Tpr and Y-complex proteins in Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339]-purified extracts from either WT or Nup133-/- mESCs. These data show that in the context of whole cell lysates containing NPCs as dissociated subcomplexes, the lack of Nup133 neither precludes nor appreciably affects the biochemical interaction between Nup153-NTD and the Y-complex or Tpr. This differs from the in vivo situation that revealed a measurable impact of Nup133 on Nup153 dynamics and Tpr localization in the context of assembled NPCs. This apparent discrepancy between our in vitro and in vivo data indicates that the structural integrity of the NPC is likely required to visualize the contribution of Nup133 to the binding of Nup153 to Tpr or to the Y-complex.
