VAPB interacts with phosphorylated ELYS at decondensing chromosomes during mitosis (AP-MS Data)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: ELYS is a nucleoporin that localizes to the nuclear side of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) in interphase cells. In mitosis, it serves as an assembly platform that interacts with chromatin and then with nucleoporin subcomplexes to initiate post-mitotic NPC assembly. Here we identified and characterized ELYS as a major binding partner of the membrane protein VAPB during mitosis. In mitosis, ELYS becomes phosphorylated at many sites, including a predicted FFAT (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract) motif, which is shown to mediate interaction with the MSP (major sperm protein)-domain of VAPB. Phosphorylation-dependent binding of VAPB to ELYS is demonstrated by peptide binding assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. In anaphase, the two proteins co-localize to the non-core region of the newly forming nuclear envelope. Depletion of VAPB resulted in prolonged mitosis and slow progression from meta- to anaphase and also to chromosome segregation defects. Together, our results suggest a role of ELYS-VAPB-complexes in recruiting membrane fragments to chromatin.
