Kif11-haploinsufficient oocytes reveal spatially differential requirements for chromosome biorientation in the spindle

ABSTRACT: Bipolar spindle assembly and chromosome biorientation are prerequisites for chromosome segregation during cell division. The kinesin motor KIF11 (also widely known as Eg5) drives spindle bipolarization by sliding antiparallel microtubules bidirectionally, elongating a spherical spindle into a bipolar-shaped structure in acentrosomal oocytes. During meiosis I, this process stretches homologous chromosome pairs, establishing chromosome biorientation at the spindle equator. The quantitative requirement for KIF11 in acentrosomal spindle bipolarization and homologous chromosome biorientation remains unclear. Here, using a genetic strategy to modulate KIF11 expression levels, we show that Kif11 haploinsufficiency impairs spindle elongation, leading to the formation of a partially bipolarized spindle during meiosis I in mouse oocytes. While the partially bipolarized spindle allows chromosome stretching in the inner region of its equator, it fails to do so in the outer region, where merotelic kinetochore-microtubule attachments are favored to form. These findings demonstrate the necessity of biallelic functional Kif11 for bipolar spindle assembly in acentrosomal oocytes and reveal a spatially differential requirement for homologous chromosome biorientation within the spindle.

Non-canonical functions of spindle checkpoint proteins in meiosis

Project description:Gametes are produced via meiosis, a specialized cell division associated with frequent errors which cause birth defects and infertility. Uniquely in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles, usually requiring their linkage by chiasmata, the products of crossover recombination1. The spindle checkpoint delays cell cycle progression until all chromosomes are properly attached to microtubules2 but the steps leading to the capture and alignment of chromosomes on the meiosis I spindle remain poorly understood. In budding yeast meiosis I, Mad2 and Mad3BUBR1 are equally important for spindle checkpoint delay, but biorientation of homologs on the meiosis I spindle requires Mad2, but not Mad3BUBR1 3,4. Here we show that Mad3BUBR1 promotes accurate meiosis I homolog segregation outside its canonical checkpoint role, independently of Mad2. We find that Mad3BUBR1 associates with the TOGL1 domain of Stu1CLASP, a conserved plus-end microtubule protein which is important for chromosome capture onto the spindle. Homologous chromosome pairs that are proficient in crossover formation, but which fail to biorient, rely on Mad3BUBR1-Stu1CLASP to ensure their efficient attachment to microtubules and segregation during meiosis I. Furthermore, we show that Mad3BUBR1-Stu1CLASP are essential to rescue the segregation of mini-chromosomes lacking crossovers. Our findings define a new pathway ensuring microtubule-dependent chromosome capture and demonstrate that spindle checkpoint proteins safeguard the fidelity of chromosome segregation both by actively promoting chromosome alignment and delaying cell cycle progression until this has occurred.

The methyltransferase Setdb1 is essential for meiosis and mitosis in mouse oocytes and early embryo

Project description:Oocytes develop the competence for meiosis and early embryogenesis during their growth. Setdb1 is a histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase required for post-implantation development and has been implicated in the transcriptional silencing of genes and endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs). To address its role in oogenesis and pre-implantation development, we conditionally deleted Setdb1 in growing oocytes. Loss of Setdb1 expression greatly impaired meiosis. It delayed meiotic resumption, altered the dynamics of chromatin condensation, and impaired kinetochore-spindle interactions, bipolar spindle organization, and chromosome segregation in more mature oocytes. The observed phenotypes related to changes in abundance of specific transcripts in mutant oocytes. Setdb1 maternally deficient embryos arrested during pre-implantation development and showed comparable defects during cell cycle progression and in chromosome segregation. Finally, transcriptional profiling data indicate that Setdb1 down-regulates rather than silences expression of ERVK and ERVL-MaLR retrotransposons and associated chimearic transcripts during oogenesis. Our results identify Setdb1 as a novel meiotic and embryonic competence factor in meiosis and mitosis, safeguarding genome integrity at the onset of life. We performed expression profiling on pools of 16 denuded GV-oocytes isolated per mouse. We used oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/+; Zp3-cre mice and 2 Setdb1 f/- mice as controls and oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/-; Zp3-cre mice as mutant.

Maternal ELL3 loss-of-function leads to oocyte aneuploidy and early miscarriage

Project description:Up to one-tenth of women experience miscarriage in their lifetime. Embryonic aneuploidy is a leading cause of infertility, miscarrage and congenital defects. Here, we identify loss-of-function variants of ELL3, a gene encoding a transcription elongation factor, from couples experienced consecutive early spontaneous miscarriages due to embryonic aneuploidy. Maternal ELL3 knockout leads to oocyte aneuploidy. Furthermore, we found that ELL3 localizes to the spindle during meiosis, and that ELL3 depletion in both mouse and human oocytes increases the incidence of meiotic spindle abnormality. Biochemically, ELL3 competes with TPX2 to interact with the microtubule motor KIF11, promoting its ATP utilization. Live imaging analysis shows that ELL3 is essential for promoting spindle elongation rate and driving chromosome movement. Our findings demonstrate that ELL3 loss-of-function variations could lead to oocyte aneuploidy and early miscarriage.

Ncd regulation reveals a new mechanism for targeting proteins to the meiotic spindle in oocytes

Project description:The meiotic spindle in oocytes is formed without centrosomes. How a bipolar spindle is assembled and maintained around chromosomes in oocytes remains to be established. Multiple kinases are known to regulate the meiotic spindle, but how they execute their function is poorly understood. We found that the phospho-docking protein 14-3-3ε, together with the other isoform ζ, stabilises spindle bipolarity in Drosophila oocytes. A critical 14-3-3 target is the minus-end directed motor Ncd (human HSET; kinesin-14) which has well documented roles in stabilising a bipolar spindle in oocytes. Phospho-docking by 14-3-3 inhibits the microtubule binding activity of the non-motor Ncd tail. Further phosphorylation by Aurora B kinase can release Ncd from this inhibitory effect of 14-3-3. As Aurora B localises to chromosomes and spindles, 14-3-3 facilitates specific association of Ncd with spindle microtubules by preventing Ncd from binding to non-spindle microtubules in oocytes. Therefore, 14-3-3 translates a spatial cue provided by Aurora B to target Ncd selectively to the spindle within the large volume of oocytes.

Spo13 facilitates monopolin recruitment to kinetochores and regulates maintenance of centromeric cohesion

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cells undergoing meiosis perform two consecutive divisions after a single round of DNA replication. During the first meiotic division, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles. This is achieved by (1) the pairing of maternal and paternal chromosomes via recombination producing chiasmata, (2) coorientation of homologous chromosomes such that sister chromatids attach to the same spindle pole, and (3) resolution of chiasmata by proteolytic cleavage by separase of the meiotic-specific cohesin Rec8 along chromosome arms. Crucially, cohesin at centromeres is retained to allow sister centromeres to biorient at the second division. Little is known about how these meiosis I-specific events are regulated. RESULTS: Here, we show that Spo13, a centromere-associated protein produced exclusively during meiosis I, is required to prevent sister kinetochore biorientation by facilitating the recruitment of the monopolin complex to kinetochores. Spo13 is also required for the reaccumulation of securin, the persistence of centromeric cohesin during meiosis II, and the maintenance of a metaphase I arrest induced by downregulation of the APC/C activator CDC20. CONCLUSION: Spo13 is a key regulator of several meiosis I events. The presence of Spo13 at centromere-surrounding regions is consistent with the notion that it plays a direct role in both monopolin recruitment to centromeres during meiosis I and maintenance of centromeric cohesion between the meiotic divisions. Spo13 may also limit separase activity after the first division by ensuring securin reaccumulation and, in doing so, preventing precocious removal from chromatin of centromeric cohesin.

19S proteasome loss regulates mitotic spindle assembly through a ubiquitin-independent degradation mechanism

Project description:During regulated protein degradation, the 26S proteasome recognizes ubiquitinated substrates through its 19S particle and then degrades them in its 20S enzymatic core. Despite this close interdependency between proteasome subunits, we demonstrate that knockouts from different proteasome subcomplexes result in distinct cellular phenotypes. In particular, depletion of 19S PSMD lid proteins, but not that of other proteasome subunits, prevents bipolar spindle assembly during mitosis. Despite decreased ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation in PSMD knockouts, we find that the monopolar spindle phenotype is instead caused by the aberrant degradation of the kinesin motor protein KIF11. We show that KIF11 degradation occurs through the 20S proteasome in a ubiquitin-independent manner upon loss of 19S proteins and that the resulting alterations in spindle forces lead to the unique monopolar phenotype. Thus, the presence of the 19S particle ensures proper spindle formation by restraining ubiquitin-independent degradation.

A common molecular mechanism underlies the role of Mps1 in chromosome biorientation and the spindle assembly checkpoint

Project description:The conserved Mps1 kinase corrects improper kinetochore-microtubule attachments, thereby ensuring chromosome biorientation. Yet, its critical targets in this process remain elusive. Mps1 is also involved in the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), the surveillance mechanism halting chromosome segregation until biorientation is attained. Its role in SAC activation is antagonized by the PP1 phosphatase and involves phosphorylation of Knl1/Spc105, which recruits Bub1 to kinetochores to promote assembly of SAC effector complexes. A crucial question is whether error correction and SAC activation are part of a single device or separable pathways. Here we characterise a novel yeast mutant, mps1-3, defective in chromosome biorientation and SAC activation. Through an unbiased screen for suppressors, we found that mutations lowering PP1 levels at Spc105 or forced association of Bub1 with Spc105 reinstate both chromosome biorientation and SAC signalling in mps1-3 cells. Our data strongly argue that Mps1-dependent phosphorylation of the Knl1/Spc105 kinetochore scaffold is critical for Mps1 function in both chromosome biorientation and SAC activation, thus supporting the idea that a common sensory apparatus simultaneously elicits error correction and SAC signalling.

Association of maternal mRNA with the spindle in mouse oocytes

Project description:The oocytes of many species, both invertebrate and vertebrate, contain a large collection of localized determinants in the form of proteins and translationally inactive maternal mRNAs. However, it is unknown whether mouse oocytes contain localized MmRNA determinants and what mechanisms might be responsible for their control. We collected intact MII oocytes, enucleated MII oocyte cytoplasts (with the spindle removed), and spindle-chromosome complexes which had been microsurgically removed. RNA was extracted, amplified, labeled, and applied to microarrays to determine if any MmRNA determinants were localized to the SCC. We used microarrays to determine whether maternal mRNAs in mouse oocytes are enriched in the meiotic spindle
