Transient PP2A SIP complex localization to mitotic SPBs for SIN inhibition is mediated solely by the Csc1 FHA domain.

ABSTRACT: Many organisms utilize an actin- and myosin-based cytokinetic ring (CR) to help complete cytokinesis. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the Septation Initiation Network (SIN) promotes proper CR function and stability. The SIN is a conserved and essential signaling network consisting of a GTPase and a cascade of kinases assembled at the spindle pole body (SPB). The PP2A SIN inhibitory phosphatase (SIP) complex related to the STRIPAK phosphatase complex is one inhibitor of SIN signaling. The SIP consists of Csc1, Csc2, Csc3, Csc4, Paa1, and the phosphatase subunit Ppa3. Here, we determine that the SIP is anchored at the SPB via the Csc1 FHA domain and that constitutive SPB localization of the SIP is lethal due to persistent SIN inhibition.
