Project description:The development of complex stratified epithelial barriers in mammals is initiated from single-layered epithelia. How stratification is initiated and fueled are still open questions. Previous studies on skin epidermal stratification suggested a central role for perpendicular/asymmetric cell division orientation of the basal keratinocyte progenitors. Here, we use centrosomes, that organize the mitotic spindle, to test whether cell division orientation and stratification are linked. Genetically ablating centrosomes from the developing epidermis leads to the activation of the p53-, 53BP1- and USP28-dependent mitotic surveillance pathway causing a thinner epidermis and hair follicle arrest. The centrosome/p53-double mutant keratinocyte progenitors significantly alter their division orientation in the later stages without majorly affecting epidermal differentiation. Together with time-lapse imaging and tissue growth dynamics measurements, the data suggest that the first and major phase of epidermal development is boosted by high proliferation rates in both basal and suprabasally-committed keratinocytes as well as cell delamination, whereas the second phase maybe uncoupled from the division orientation of the basal progenitors. The data provide insights for tissue homeostasis and hyperproliferative diseases that may recapitulate developmental programs.

Project description:MOB1 is a conserved protein that regulates cellular proliferation versus apoptosis, centrosome duplication and cellular differentiation in multicellular eukaryotes and also cytokinesis and division axis orientation in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes. Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite of veterinary and medical importance, presents one MOB1 protein. T. gondii interconverts between several cellular stages during its life cycle, namely between fast replicating tachyzoite and slow replicating bradyzoite stages during its asexual cycle, a key ability for its success as a parasite. Bradyzoites produce tissue cysts, establishing a chronic infection that enables recrudescence. Conversion is dependent on cell cycle regulation and involves cell differentiation and regulation of replication. This led us to select MOB1 as a strong candidate to be involved in the Toxoplasma replication process. To elucidate how MOB1 acts in T. gondii, we employed a proximity biotinylation method and identified the MOB1 interactome. Toxoplasma gondii RH tachyzoites were transfected with BirA containing plasmid vectors for random integration and two strains were isolated. The control strain expresses a FLAG-BirA recombinant protein while the test strain expresses a FLAG-BirA-MOB1 recombinant protein. Biotinylated proteins were purified using streptavidin-agarose beads. The purified proteins were trypsinized and analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS.

Project description:Alternative RNA splicing can generate distinct protein isoforms to allow for the differential control of cell processes across cell types. The chromosome segregation and cell division programs associated with somatic mitosis and germline meiosis display dramatic differences such as kinetochore orientation, cohesin removal, or the presence of a gap phase. These changes in chromosome segregation require alterations to the established cell division machinery. However, it remains unclear what aspects of kinetochore function and its regulatory control differ between the mitotic and meiotic cell divisions to rewire these core processes. Additionally, the alternative splice isoforms that differentially modulate distinct cell division programs have remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that mammalian germ cells express an alternative mRNA splice isoform for the kinetochore component, DSN1, a subunit of the MIS12 complex that links the centromeres to spindle microtubules during chromosome segregation. This germline DSN1 isoform bypasses the requirement for Aurora kinase phosphorylation for its centromere localization due to the absence of a key regulatory region allowing DSN1 to display persistent centromere localization. Expression of the germline DSN1 isoform in somatic cells results in constitutive kinetochore localization, chromosome segregation errors, and growth defects, providing an explanation for its tight cell type-specific expression. Reciprocally, precisely eliminating expression of the germline-specific DSN1 splice isoform in mouse models disrupts oocyte maturation and early embryonic divisions coupled with a reduction in fertility. Together, this work identifies a germline-specific splice isoform for a chromosome segregation component and implicates its role in mammalian fertility.

Project description:The bidirectional sensitivity of neuromasts to water flow in the zebrafish lateral line system is attributed to the opposite orientation of the hair bundles on top of sensory hair cells (HC) within a neuromast. After each HC precursor divides to form two nascent HCs, HCs of the same bundle orientation are positioned on one side of the neuromast, across from HCs with opposite bundle orientation. The transcription factor emx2 is expressed in only one of the sibling HCs. Loss or gain of function of emx2 in HCs causes unidirectional hair bundle orientation in neuromasts. It is not clear whether Emx2 is required specifically in establishing hair bundle orientation after HC formation or Emx2 has an earlier role in HC fate and/or positioning, which indirectly changes hair bundle orientation. A phenomenon, in which nascent sibling HCs exchange positions with each other, has been postulated to be the mechanism for HCs to acquire their designated positions within the neuromast. We asked whether Emx2 is involved in positional acquisition of HCs within the neuromast. Using live-imaging and our emx2 reporter we find that the HC rearrangement, redefined as two processes named Rock & Roll are required for HCs to acquire their positions. Although Emx2 regulates the duration of the Rock and the frequency of Roll of nascent HCs, it is not required for their positional acquisition. Instead, Emx2 regulates the morphology of nascent HCs, which facilitates the rearrangement process.

Project description:A cell synchronization protocol was established in which global and individual mRNA translational efficiencies could be examined. While global translational efficiency was reduced in mitotic cells, approximately 3% of mRNAs remained predominantly associated with large polysomes during mitosis, as determined by cDNA microarray analyses. The 5 noncoding regions of six mRNAs were shown to contain internal ribosome entry sites (IRES). However, not all known mRNAs that contain IRES elements were actively translated during mitosis, arguing that specific IRES sequences are differentially regulated during mitosis. A cell cycle design experiment design type is one that assays events that occurs in relation to the cell cycle, which is the period between the formation of a cell, by division of its mother cell and the time when the cell itself divides to form two daughter cells.

Project description:<p>In many multicellular organisms, a group of cells called organizers plays critical roles by sending signals to adjacent cells and controlling patterning events such as embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies suggest that these organizers or inductive cells facilitate the downstream signaling pathways conserved across organisms. However, what makes these cells fundamentally inductive is little understood. Micromeres of the sea urchin embryo formed at the 16-cell stage are one of such organizers initially identified over a century ago. In this study, we demonstrate that the micromeres have distinct metabolic properties compared to the rest of the embryo. The specific metabolic inhibitors for sugar metabolism (2-DG), fatty acid synthesis (cerulenin) and N-linked glycosylation (tunicamycin) compromise micromeres Einductive signaling, altering the downstream germ layer patterning in the resultant embryos. These phenotypes were partially rescued by restoring ER homeostasis. Notably, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) asymmetrically localizes toward the vegetal pole during asymmetric cell division, resulting in enriched ER and Wnt protein localization at the vegetal cortex of micromeres. Metabolic inhibition appears to compromise ER activity in Wnt particle distribution. Based on these observations, we propose that micromere ER is sensitive to specific metabolic regulation, contributing to the inductive signaling activity. This study provides a paradigm of how ER and metabolic regulation contribute to the inductive capability of the cells, which may also be conserved in the organizers and inductive cells of other organisms.</p>

Project description:As plant cells are fixed within their tissue context, a precise control of cell division orientation is crucial to generate complex three-dimensional organs. The transcription factor complex formed by TARGET OF MONOPTEROS5 (TMO5) and LONESOME HIGHWAY (LHW) triggers a change in cell division orientation leading to radial expansion, at least in part by activating local cytokinin biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear how cytokinin controls these oriented cell divisions. Here, we analyzed the transcriptional responses upon simultaneous induction of both TMO5 and LHW in detail. Using inferred network analysis, we identify AT2G28510/DOF2.1 as a cytokinin-dependent downstream target gene of the TMO5/LHW heterodimer complex. We further show that DOF2.1 is specifically required and sufficient for vascular cell proliferation without inducing other cytokinin-dependent effects such as the inhibition of vascular differentiation. In summary, we have identified DOF2.1 as a TMO5/LHW target gene, specifically responsible for controlling vascular cell proliferation leading to radial expansion.

Project description:The orientation of the mitotic spindle (MS) is tightly regulated, but the molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we report a novel role for the multifunctional adaptor protein ALG-2-interacting protein X (ALIX) in regulating MS orientation in addition to its well-established role in cytokinesis. We show that ALIX is recruited to the pericentriolar material (PCM) of the centrosomes and promotes correct orientation of the MS in asymmetrically dividing Drosophila stem cells and epithelial cells, and symmetrically dividing Drosophila and human epithelial cells. ALIX-deprived cells display defective formation of astral microtubules (MTs), which results in abnormal MS orientation. Specifically, ALIX is recruited to the PCM via Drosophila Spindle defective 2 (DSpd-2)/Cep192, where ALIX promotes accumulation of g-tubulin and thus facilitates efficient nucleation of astral MTs. In addition, ALIX promotes MT stability by recruiting Microtubule Associated Protein 1S (MAP1S), which stabilizes newly formed MTs. Altogether, our results demonstrate a novel evolutionarily conserved role of ALIX in providing robustness to the orientation of the MS by promoting astral MT formation during asymmetric and symmetric cell division.
