Functional dissection of human mitotic proteins using CRISPR-Cas9 tiling screens

ABSTRACT: Kinetochores are large protein assemblies that mark the centromere and bind to mitotic spindle microtubules to ensure accurate chromosome segregation. Like most protein-coding genes, the full multifunctional nature of kinetochore factors remains uncharacterized due to the limited experimental tools for unbiased dissection of human protein sequences. Here, we develop a method that leverages CRISPR-Cas9 induced mutations to comprehensively identify key functional regions within protein sequences that are required for cellular outgrowth. Our analysis of 48 human kinetochore genes revealed hundreds of regions required for cell proliferation, corresponding to known and uncharacterized protein domains. We biologically validated 15 of these regions, including amino acids 387-402 of Mad1, which when deleted compromise Mad1 kinetochore localization and chromosome segregation fidelity. Altogether, we demonstrate that CRISPR-Cas9-based tiling mutagenesis enables de novo identification of key functional domains in protein-coding genes, which elucidates separation of function mutants and allows functional annotation across the human proteome

Centromere-Like Regions in Budding Yeast

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation requires centromeres (CENs), the chromosomal sites where kinetochores form, to bridge DNA and attach to microtubules. In contrast to most eukaryotes, Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses sequence-defined point centromeres. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) of four kinetochore components reveals regions of overlapping, extra-centromeric protein localization upon overproduction of the centromeric histone, Cse4 (CENP-A or CenH3). These identified sequences enhance proper plasmid and chromosome segregation, and are termed Centromere-like Regions (CLRs). CLRs form in close proximity to S. cerevisiae CENs and share characteristics typical of point and regional centromeres. CLR sequences are conserved among related budding yeasts, suggesting a role in vivo. These studies provide new insights into the origin and evolution of centromeres.

ChIP-Seq of fly Schneider S2 cells to investigate CID islands

Project description:The centromere-specific Histone H3-variant CENH3 (also known as CENP-A) is considered to be an epigenetic mark for establishment and propagation of centromere identity. Pulse-induction of CENH3 (Drosophila CID) in Schneider S2 cells incorporates into noncentromeric regions and generates CID islands that resist clearing from chromosome arms for multiple cell generations. We demonstrate that CID islands represent functional ectopic kinetochores, which are non-randomly distributed on the chromosome and display a preferential localization near telomeres and pericentric heterochromatin in transcriptionally silent, intergenic chromatin domains. Although overexpression of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) or increasing Histone acetylation interferes with CID islands formation on a global scale, induction of a locally defined region of synthetic heterochromatin by targeting HP1-LacI fusions to stably integrated Lac Operator arrays produces a proximal hotspot for CID islands formation. These data suggest that the characteristics of regions bordering heterochromatin promote de novo kinetochore assembly and thereby contribute to centromere identity.

The proteomic landscape of centromeric chromatin reveals an essential role for the Ctf19 complex in meiotic kinetochore assembly.

Project description:Faithful gamete formation during meiosis requires that kinetochores take on new functions that impact homolog pairing/recombination and their attachments to microtubules. We used a proteomics pipeline to determine the global composition of centromeric chromatin and kinetochores at distinct meiotic stages. Our datasets uncover an unanticipated role for the Ctf19CCAN inner kinetochore sub-complex in gametogenesis. We show that components of the Ctf19 complex that are dispensable for mitotic growth become critical for assembly of a functional kinetochore upon meiotic entry. Consequently, in the absence of these factors, chromosomes fail to attach to meiotic spindles and produce inviable gametes due to gross segregation errors. Our evidence suggests that functional kinetochore assembly is driven by Ctf19CCAN complex-dependent Ipl1AURORA B positioning at the inner kinetochore. Thus, our global view of kinetochore composition in meiosis reveals the extent of kinetochore remodelling during gametogenesis and uncovers a kinetochore assembly pathway that becomes critical in meiosis.

Expression profiles of histone point mutants

Project description:Accurate chromosome segregation requires that sister kinetochores biorient and attach to microtubules from opposite poles. Kinetochore biorientation relies on the underlying centromeric chromatin, which provides a platform to assemble the kinetochore and to recruit the regulatory factors that ensure the high fidelity of this process. To identify the centromeric chromatin determinants that contribute to chromosome segregation, we performed two complementary unbiased genetic screens using a library of mutants in every residue of histone H3 and H4. In one screen, we identified mutants that lead to increased loss of a non-essential chromosome. In the second screen, we isolated mutants whose viability depends on a key regulator of biorientation, the Aurora B protein kinase. Nine mutations, H3 Q5A, H3 R40A, H3 G44A, H3 R53A, H3 N108A, H3 L109A, H4 K44A, H4 V81A, and H4 Y98A, were common to both screens and exhibited kinetochore biorientation defects. Five of the mutants map near the unstructured nucleosome entry site and their genetic interaction with decreased Ipl1 function can be suppressed by increasing the dosage of the Sgo1 protein. In addition, the composition of purified kinetochores was altered in five of the mutants. Together, this work identifies previously unknown histone residues involved in chromosome segregation and lays the foundation for future studies of the role of the underlying chromatin structure in segregation.

Bub1 and CENP-U redundantly recruit Plk1 to stabilize kinetochore-microtubule attachments and ensure accurate chromosome segregation

Project description:Bub1 is required for the kinetochore/centromere localization of two essential mitotic kinases Plk1 and Aurora B. Surprisingly, stable depletion of Bub1 by ~95% in human cells marginally affects whole chromosome segregation fidelity. We show that CENP-U, which is recruited to kinetochores by the CENP-P and CENP-Q subunits of the CENP-O complex, is required to prevent chromosome mis-segregation in Bub1-depleted cells. Mechanistically, Bub1 and CENP-U redundantly recruit Plk1 to kinetochores to stabilize kinetochore-microtubule attachments, thereby ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Furthermore, unlike its budding yeast homolog, the CENP-O complex does not regulate centromeric localization of Aurora B. Consistently, depletion of Bub1 or CENP-U sensitizes cells to the inhibition of Plk1 but not Aurora B kinase activity. Taken together, our findings provide mechanistic insight into the regulation of kinetochore function, which may have implications for targeted treatment of cancer cells with mutations perturbing kinetochore recruitment of Plk1 by Bub1 or the CENP-O complex.

Aurora A kinase phosphorylates Hec1 to regulate metaphase kinetochore-microtubule dynamics.

Project description:Precise regulation of kinetochore-microtubules is essential for successful chromosome segregation. Central to this regulation is Aurora B kinase, which phosphorylates kinetochore substrates to promote microtubule turnover. A critical target of Aurora B is the N-terminal “tail” domain of Hec1/NDC80, which is a component of the NDC80 complex, a force-transducing link between kinetochores and microtubules. While Aurora B is regarded as the “master regulator” of kinetochore-microtubule attachment, it is likely that other mitotic kinases contribute to Hec1phosphorylation. Here we show that Aurora A kinase phosphorylates the tail domain of Hec1 at Serine 69, a previously uncharacterized phosphorylation target site, and plays an important role in controlling kinetochore-microtubule attachment dynamics. Using phospho-specific antibodies, Hec1 phospho-deficient mutants, and kinase inhibitors, we demonstrate that Aurora A is required for the regulation of kinetochore-microtubule dynamics of metaphase chromosomes and identify Hec1 Serine 69 as a critical Aurora A substrate for this regulation. Additionally, we demonstrate that Aurora A kinase associates with INCENP during mitosis and that INCENP is competent to drive accumulation of the kinase to the centromere region of mitotic chromosomes. These findings reveal that both Aurora A and Aurora B contribute to kinetochore-microtubule attachment dynamics, and they uncover an unexpected role for Aurora A in mitosis.

Ska3-microtubule interactions - Ska3 Ensures Timely Mitotic Progression by Interacting Directly With Microtubules and Ska1 Microtubule Binding Domain

Project description:The Ndc 80 and Ska complex are the major microtubule-binding factors of the kinetochore responsible for maintaining chromosome-microtubule coupling during chromosome segregation. We previously showed that the Ska1 subunit of the Skacomlex binds dynamic microtubules. This project demonstrated that Ska3 subunit is required to modulate the microtubule binding capability of the Ska complex by directly interacting with tubulin monomer and indirectly by interacting with tubulin contacting regions of Ska1.

Mapping of cohesion factor association sites in S. cerevisiae - Meiosis I chromosome segregation is established through regulation of microtubule-kinetochore interactions.

Project description:During meiosis, a single round of DNA replication is followed by two consecutive rounds of nuclear divisions called meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate, while sister chromatids remain together. Determining how this unusual chromosome segregation behavior is established is central to understanding germ cell development. Here we show that preventing microtubule-kinetochore interactions during premeiotic S phase and prophase I is essential for establishing the meiosis I chromosome segregation pattern. Premature interactions of kinetochores with microtubules transform meiosis I into a mitosis-like division by disrupting two key meiosis I events: coorientation of sister kinetochores and protection of centromeric cohesin removal from chromosomes. Furthermore we find that restricting outer kinetochore assembly contributes to preventing premature engagement of microtubules with kinetochores. We propose that inhibition of microtubule-kinetochore interactions during premeiotic S phase and prophase I is central to establishing the unique meiosis I chromosome segregation pattern. The association of the cohesion factors Rec8, Pds5, and Sgo1 were measured by ChIP-chip analysis in wild-type and CUP-CLB3 strains.
