Aurora A Regulates the Material Property of Spindle Poles to Orchestrate Nuclear Organization at Mitotic Exit

ABSTRACT: Animal cells dismantle their nuclear envelope (NE) at the beginning and reconstruct it at the end of mitosis. This process is closely coordinated with spindle pole organization: poles enlarge at mitotic onset and reduce in size as mitosis concludes. The significance of this coordination remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Aurora A maintains a pole-localized protein NuMA in a dynamic state during anaphase. Without Aurora A activity, NuMA shifts from a dynamic to a solid state and abnormally accumulates at the poles, causing the segregated chromosome sets to bend around the NuMA-enriched poles. NuMA localization at the poles relies on interactions with dynein/dynactin, its coiled-coil domain, and an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Mutagenesis experiments revealed that cation- interactions within IDR are key for NuMA pole localization, while glutamine residues trigger the solid-state transition of NuMA upon Aurora A inhibition. We propose that maintaining the proper material properties of the spindle poles is a key step in choreographing accurate organization of the nucleus and genome post-mitosis.

Proximity-based activation of AURORA A by MPS1 potentiates error correction

Project description:Faithfull cell division relies on mitotic chromosomes becoming bioriented with each pair of sister kinetochores bound to microtubules from opposing spindle poles. Erroneous kinetochore- microtubule attachments often form during early mitosis, but are destabilized through the phosphorylation of outer kinetochore proteins by centromeric AURORA B kinase (ABK) and centrosomal AURORA A kinase (AAK), thus allowing for re-establishment of attachments until biorientation is achieved. MPS1-mediated phosphorylation of NDC80 has also been shown to directly weaken the kinetochore-microtubule interface in yeast. In human cells, MPS1 has been proposed to transiently accumulate at end-on attached kinetochores and phosphorylate SKA3 to promote microtubule release. Whether MPS1 directly targets NDC80 and/or promotes the activity of AURORA kinases in metazoans remains unclear. Here, we report a novel mechanism involving communication between kinetochores and centrosomes, wherein MPS1 acts upstream of AAK to promote error correction. MPS1 on pole-proximal kinetochores phosphorylates the C-lobe of AAK thereby increasing its activation at centrosomes. This proximity-based activation ensures the establishment of a robust AAK activity gradient that locally destabilizes mal-oriented kinetochores near spindle poles. Accordingly, MPS1 depletion from Drosophila cells causes severe chromosome misalignment and erroneous kinetochore-microtubule attachments, which can be rescued by tethering either MPS1 or constitutively active AAK mutants to centrosomes. Proximity-based activation of AAK by MPS1 also occurs in human cells to promote AAK-mediated phosphorylation of the NDC80 N-terminal tail. These findings uncover an MPS1-AAK cross-talk that is required for efficient error correction, showcasing the ability of kinetochores to modulate centrosome outputs to ensure proper chromosome segregation.

Shugoshin biases chromosomes for biorientation through condensin recruitment to the pericentromere

Project description:To protect against aneuploidy, chromosomes must attach to microtubules from opposite poles (“biorientation”) prior to their segregation during mitosis. Biorientation relies on the correction of erroneous attachments by the aurora B kinase, which destabilizes kinetochore-microtubule attachments that lack tension. Incorrect attachments are also avoided because sister kinetochores are intrinsically biased towards capture by microtubules from opposite poles. Here we show that shugoshin acts as a pericentromeric adaptor that plays dual roles in biorientation in budding yeast. Shugoshin maintains the aurora B kinase at kinetochores that lack tension, thereby engaging the error correction machinery. Shugoshin also recruits the chromosome-organising complex, condensin, to the pericentromere. Pericentromeric condensin biases sister kinetochores towards capture by microtubules from opposite poles. Overall, shugoshin integrates a bias to sister kinetochore capture with error correction to enable chromosome biorientation. Our findings uncover the molecular basis of the bias to sister kinetochore capture and expose shugoshin as a pericentromeric hub controlling chromosome biorientation.

A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium

Project description:Mitosis in eukaryotes involves reorganization of the nuclear envelope (NE) and microtubule-organizing centres (MTOCs). During male gametogenesis in Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, mitosis is exceptionally rapid and highly divergent. Within 8 min, the haploid male gametocyte genome undergoes three replication cycles (1N to 8N), while maintaining an intact NE. Axonemes assemble in the cytoplasm and connect to a bipartite MTOC-containing nuclear pole (NP) and cytoplasmic basal body, producing eight flagellated gametes. The mechanisms coordinating NE remodelling, MTOC dynamics, and flagellum assembly remain poorly understood. We identify the SUN1-ALLAN complex as a novel mediator of NE remodelling and bipartite MTOC coordination during Plasmodium male gametogenesis. SUN1, a conserved NE protein, localizes to dynamic loops and focal points at the nucleoplasmic face of the spindle poles. ALLAN, a divergent allantoicase, has a location like that of SUN1, and these proteins form a unique complex, detected by live-cell imaging, ultrastructural expansion microscopy, and interactomics. Deletion of either SUN1 or ALLAN genes disrupts nuclear MTOC organization, leading to basal body mis-segregation, defective spindle assembly, and impaired spindle microtubule kinetochore attachment, but axoneme formation remains intact. Ultrastructural analysis revealed nuclear and cytoplasmic MTOC miscoordination, producing aberrant flagellated gametes lacking nuclear material. These defects block development in the mosquito and parasite transmission, highlighting the essential functions of this complex.

The nucleoskeleton protein NuMA maintains local chromatin architecture partially through promoting linker histone H1’ binding to chromatin and nucleosome stacking [Hi-C]

Project description:Nucleoskeleton is generally considered to be the grid structure involved in regulation of genome expression and maintenance in the eukaryotic nucleus. However, its actual biological functions and mechanisms remain controversial. Here, we show the nuclear mitotic apparatus protein (NuMA), an essential regulator of the spindle, serve as one of the components of nucleoskeleton to regulates genome high-order architecture. In the interphase, fast depletion of NuMA leads to changes in chromatin organization, including increased accessibility of the genome, remodeling of nucleosome fibers and changes of transcription levels in certain heterochromatin regions. These effects are probably due to NuMA and linker histone H1’s interplay. We prove that NuMA interacts with linker histone H1 and linker DNA through its C-terminal domain. Such interaction facilitates H1’s binding to DNA and promotes nucleosome stacking, and might be part of the reason that NuMA maintains the local condensed state of heterochromatin. Collectively, our results reveal new biological functions of NuMA in the interphase, and also associates nucleoskeleton with genome organization at the mono-nucleosome level for the first time. This in-depth study on the mechanism of NuMA’s regulation on H1 and nucleosomes shed new light on how nucleoskeleton regulates genome architecture and gene expression.

Greatwall kinase regulates SAC by controlling phosphorylation and activity of MPS1

Project description:The Greatwall/Mastl kinase is an essential gene, which regulates the phosphatase activity that counteracts the phosphorylation of Cdk1 substrates. Although Mastl-/- MEFs can enter mitosis, they are unable to complete mitosis due to chromosome segregation defects. Here, we show that Mastl is essential for robust spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) maintenance. Mastl-/- MEFs display reduced phosphorylation and kinase activity of MPS1, which causes mislocalization of MPS1, Mad1, and Aurora B from the kinetochore and the inner centromere regions. This results in premature inactivation of SAC signalling and early anaphase onset without correction of chromosome-spindle attachment mistakes. Treatment of the knockout cells with protein phosphatase II inhibitor okadaic acid (OA) rescued decreased MPS1 activity, mislocalization of Aurora B, Mad1, MPS1, and premature mitotic slippage. Our data demonstrates how regulation of PP2A activity by Mastl kinase prevents premature SAC silencing as a result of controlling the phosphorylation status and activity of MPS1.
