CDK1-dependent N-terminal NuMA phosphorylation promotes dynein-dynactin-NuMA assembly for accurate chromosome segregation

ABSTRACT: The microtubule-based motor dynein and its cofactor dynactin are activated by various adaptors to fulfil essential functions throughout the cell cycle, including organelle transport and mitotic spindle assembly. NuMA is a mitotic adaptor that interacts with dynein-dynactin via its N-terminal region (NuMA-N). However, how NuMA-N binds and activates dynein-dynactin in mitosis remains unclear. Here, we combine a membrane-tethering assay, quantitative proteomics, and live-cell analyses to show that mitotic phosphorylation of NuMA-N drives dynein-dynactin-NuMA (DDN) assembly. We find that CDK1-Cyclin B1 phosphorylates NuMA-N, primarily at its conserved serine 203, which stimulates dynein activation in vitro. Replacing endogenous NuMA with phosphorylation-deficient mutants further reveals that NuMA-N phosphorylation, together with its dynein-binding site and Spindly-like motif, is required to form stable DDN complexes for functional spindle assembly. These results highlight CDK1-dependent N-terminal NuMA phosphorylation as a crucial mitotic phospho-switch that ensures stable multivalent interactions between dynein-dynactin and NuMA for accurate chromosome segregation.

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

Project description: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.

Annexin A1 is a polarity cue that directs planar mitotic spindle orientation during mammalian epithelial morphogenesis

Project description:Oriented cell divisions are critical for the formation and maintenance of structured epithelia. Proper mitotic spindle orientation relies on polarised anchoring of force generators to the cell cortex by the evolutionarily conserved Gαi-LGN-NuMA complex. However, the polarity cues that control cortical patterning of this ternary complex remain largely unknown in mammalian epithelia. Here we identify the membrane-associated protein Annexin A1 (ANXA1) as a novel interactor of LGN in mammary epithelial cells. ANXA1 acts independently of Gαi to instruct the accumulation of LGN and NuMA at the lateral cortex to ensure cortical anchoring of Dynein-Dynactin and astral microtubules and thereby planar alignment of the mitotic spindle. Loss of ANXA1 randomises mitotic spindle orientation, which in turn disrupts epithelial architecture and lumen formation in three-dimensional (3D) primary mammary organoids. Our findings establish ANXA1 as an upstream cortical cue that regulates LGN to direct planar cell divisions during mammalian epithelial morphogenesis.

HEATR5B associates with dynein-dynactin and selectively promotes motility of AP1- bound endosomal membranes_BioMass@LMB

Project description:The dynein motor complex mediates polarised trafficking of a wide variety of organelles, intracellular vesicles and macromolecules. These functions are dependent on the dynactin 5 complex, which helps recruit cargoes to dynein’s tail region and activates motor movement. How dynein and dynactin orchestrate trafficking of diverse cargoes is unclear. Here, we identify HEATR5B, an interactor of the AP1 clathrin adaptor complex, as a novel player in dynein-dynactin function. HEATR5B is one of several proteins recovered in a biochemical screen for proteins whose association with the human dynein tail complex is augmented by 10 dynactin. We show that HEATR5B binds directly to the dynein tail and dynactin and stimulates motility of AP1-associated endosomal membranes in human cells. We also demonstrate that the HEATR5B homologue in Drosophila is an essential gene that promotes dynein-based transport of AP1-bound membranes to the Golgi apparatus. As HEATR5B lacks the coiledcoil architecture typical of dynein adaptors, our data point to a non-canonical process 15 orchestrating motor function on a specific cargo. We additionally show that HEATR5B promotes association of AP1 with endosomal membranes in a dynein-independent manner. Thus, HEATR5B co-ordinates multiple events in AP1-based trafficking.

Meru co-ordinates spindle orientation with cell polarity and cell cycle progression

Project description:Correct mitotic spindle alignment is essential for tissue architecture and plays an important role in cell fate specification through asymmetric cell division. Spindle tethering factors such as Drosophila Mud (NuMA in mammals) are recruited to the cell cortex and capture astral microtubules, pulling the spindle in the correct orientation. However, how spindle tethering complexes read the cell polarity axis and how spindle attachment is coupled to mitotic progression remains poorly understood. We explore these questions in Drosophila sensory organ precursors (SOPs), which divide asymmetrically to give rise to the epidermal mechanosensory bristles. We show that the scaffold protein Meru, which is recruited to the posterior cortex by the Frizzled/Dishevelled planar cell polarity complex, in turn recruits Mud, linking the spindle tethering and polarity machineries. Furthermore, Cyclin A/Cdk1 associates with Meru at the posterior cortex, promoting the formation of the Mud/Meru/Dsh complex via Meru and Dsh phosphorylation. Thus, Meru couples spindle orientation with cell polarity and provides a cell cycle-dependent cue for spindle tethering.

The intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi uses the autotransporter ScaC to activate BICD adaptors for dynein-based motility.

Project description:The intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi relies on the microtubule cytoskeleton and the motor protein dynein to traffic to the perinuclear region within infected cells. However, it remains unclear how the bacterium is coupled to the dynein machinery and how transport is regulated. Here, we discover that O. tsutsugamushi uses its autotransporter protein ScaC to recruit the dynein adaptors BICD1 and BICD2 for movement to the perinucleus. We show that ScaC is sufficient to engage dynein-based motility in the absence of other bacterial proteins and that BICD1 and BICD2 are required for efficient movement of O. tsutsugamushi during infection. Using TIRF single-molecule assays, we demonstrate that ScaC induces BICD2 to adopt an open conformation which activates the assembly of dynein-dynactin complexes. Our results reveal a role for BICD adaptors during bacterial infection and provide mechanistic insights into the life cycle of an important human pathogen.

Coupling of Cdc20 inhibition and activation by BubR1

Project description:Tight regulation of the APC/C-Cdc20 ubiquitin ligase that targets Cyclin B1 for degradation is important for mitotic fidelity. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibits Cdc20 through the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC). In addition, phosphorylation of Cdc20 by Cyclin B1-Cdk1 independently inhibits APC/C-Cdc20 activation. This creates a conundrum for how Cdc20 gets activated prior to Cyclin B1 degradation. Here we show that the MCC component BubR1 harbours both Cdc20 inhibition and activation activities, allowing for cross-talk between the two Cdc20 inhibition pathways. Specifically BubR1 acts as a substrate specifier for PP2A-B56 to enable efficient Cdc20 dephosphorylation in the MCC. A mutant Cdc20 mimicking the dephosphorylated state escapes a mitotic checkpoint arrest arguing that restricting Cdc20 dephosphorylation to the MCC is important. Collectively our work reveals how Cdc20 can be dephosphorylated in the presence of Cyclin B1-Cdk1 activity without causing premature anaphase onset.

MudPIT analyses of the human proteins biotinylated by proximity to dynein/dynactin subunits fused to biotin ligase (BioID)

Project description:We identified the human dynein proteome by attaching a promiscuous biotin ligase (BioID) to 7 distinct components of the dynein machinery, including a subunit of its essential cofactor dynactin. BioID experiments were performed with stable HEK293 cell lines expressing dynein (IC1, IC2, LIC1, LIC2, RB, TcTex-1) and dynactin (p62) subunits tagged with BioID-3X FLAG. BioID-only transfected cells were used as negative controls. For BioID experiments, cells were lysed in the presence of detergents to disrupt the dynein/dynactin complex, allowing the identification of proteins that were proximal to the tagged subunit prior to cell lysis. After purification of biotinylated proteins on streptavidin-conjugated beads, the eluates were precipitated with TCA. After washing with acetone, the protein mixtures were digested with endoproteinase Lys-C and trypsin (Roche) and analyzed by MudPIT. We performed BioID purification followed by MudPIT in quadruplicate and used a label-free quantitative proteomics approach to calculate the enrichment of each identified protein relative to BioID control replicates.

Cyclin A triggers Mitosis either via Greatwall or Cyclin B

Project description:Two mitotic Cyclins, A and B, exist in higher eukaryotes, but their specialised functions in mitosis are poorly understood. Using degron tags we analyse how acute depletion of these proteins affects mitosis. Loss of Cyclin A in G2-phase prevents the initial activation of Cdk1. Cells lacking Cyclin B can enter mitosis and phosphorylate most mitotic proteins, because of parallel PP2A:B55 phosphatase inactivation by Greatwall kinase. The final barrier to mitotic establishment corresponds to nuclear envelope breakdown that requires a decisive shift in the balance of Cdk1 and PP2A:B55 activity. Beyond this point Cyclin B/Cdk1 is essential to phosphorylate a distinct subset mitotic Cdk1 substrates that are essential to complete cell division. Our results identify how Cyclin A, B and Greatwall coordinate mitotic progression by increasing levels of Cdk1-dependent substrate phosphorylation. The phosphoproteomics dataset aims to identify substrates that are affected specifically by acute depletion of Cyclin Bprotein.

Cyclin A and Cks1 promote kinase consensus switching to non-proline directed CDK1 phosphorylation

Project description:Ordered protein phosphorylation by CDKs is a key mechanism for regulating the cell cycle. How temporal order is enforced in mammalian cells remains unclear. Using a fixed cell kinase assay and phosphoproteomics, we studied how CDK1 activity and non-catalytic CDK1 subunits contribute to the choice of substrate and phosphorylation site. Increases in CDK1 activity alters substrate choice, with intermediate and low sensitivity CDK1 substrates enriched in DNA replication and mitotic functions, respectively. This activity dependence was shared between Cyclin A- and Cyclin B-CDK1. Cks1 has a proteome-wide role as an enhancer of multisite CDK1 phosphorylation. Contrary to the model of CDK1 as an exclusively proline-directed kinase, we show that Cyclin A and Cks1 promote non-proline directed phosphorylation, preferably on sites with a +3 lysine residue. Indeed, 70% of cell cycle regulated phosphorylations, where the kinase carrying out this modification has not been identified, are non-proline directed CDK1 sites.

Multisite phosphorylation of NuMA-related LIN-5 controls mitotic spindle positioning in C. elegans

Project description:Chromosome segregation and cleavage plane determination involves the generation of pulling forces on microtubules that extend from the centrosomes to the cell cortex. These forces depend on cortical anchoring of the cytoplasmic dynein motor by a conserved ternary complex of Galpha, GPR-1/2, and LIN-5 proteins in C. elegans (Galpha-LGN-NuMA in mammals). Previously, we showed that the polarity kinase PKC-3 phosphorylates LIN-5 to control spindle positioning in early C. elegans embryos. Here, we investigate whether additional LIN-5 phosphorylations regulate cortical pulling forces, making use of targeted alteration of in vivo phosphorylated residues by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genetic engineering. Four distinct in vivo phosphorylated LIN-5 residues were found to have critical functions in spindle positioning. Two of these residues form part of a 30 amino acid binding site for GPR-1, which we identified by reverse two-hybrid screening. We provide evidence for a dualkinase mechanism, involving GSK3 phosphorylation of S659 followed by phosphorylation of S662 by casein kinase 1. These LIN-5 phosphorylations promote LIN-5-GPR-1/2 interaction and contribute to cortical pulling forces. The other two critical residues, T168 and T181, form part of a cyclin-dependent kinase consensus site and are phosphorylated by CDK1-Cyclin B in vitro. We applied a novel strategy to characterize early embryonic defects in lethal T168/T181 knockin substitution mutants, and provide evidence for sequential LIN-5 N-terminal phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in dynein recruitment. Our data support that phosphorylation of multiple LIN-5 domains by different kinases contributes to a mechanism for spatiotemporal control of spindle positioning and chromosome segregation.
