An Aurora kinase A-BOD1L1-PP2A B56 Axis promotes chromosome segregation fidelity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cancer cells are often aneuploid and frequently display elevated rates of chromosome mis-segregation, called chromosomal instability (CIN). CIN is caused by hyperstable kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments that reduce the correction efficiency of erroneous K-MT attachments. UMK57, a chemical agonist of the protein MCAK improves chromosome segregation fidelity in CIN cancer cells by destabilizing K-MT attachments, but cells rapidly develop resistance. To determine the mechanism, we performed unbiased screens which revealed increased phosphorylation in cells adapted to UMK57 at Aurora kinase A phosphoacceptor sites on BOD1L1. BOD1L1 depletion or Aurora kinase A inhibition eliminated resistance to UMK57. BOD1L1 localizes to spindles/kinetochores during mitosis, interacts with the PP2A phosphatase, and regulates phosphorylation levels of kinetochore proteins, chromosome alignment, mitotic progression and fidelity. Moreover, the BOD1L1 gene is mutated in a subset of human cancers, and BOD1L1 depletion reduces cell growth in combination with clinically relevant doses of taxol or Aurora kinase A inhibitor.
