RESUMO

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging disease caused by a mutation in LMNA. A G608G mutation in exon 11 of LMNA is responsible for most HGPS cases, generating a truncated protein called "progerin". Progerin is permanently farnesylated and accumulates in HGPS cells, causing multiple cellular defects such as nuclear dysmorphism, a thickened lamina, loss of heterochromatin, premature senescence, and clustering of Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPC). To identify the mechanism of NPC clustering in HGPS cells, we evaluated post-mitotic NPC assembly in control and HGPS cells and found no defects. Next, we examined the occurrence of NPC clustering in control and HGPS cells during replicative senescence. We reported that NPC clustering occurs solely in the dysmorphic nuclei of control and HGPS cells. Hence, NPC clustering occurred at a higher frequency in HGPS cells compared to control cells at early passages; however, in late cultures with similar senescence index, NPCs clustering occurred at a similar rate in both control and HGPS. Our results show that progerin does not disrupt post-mitotic reassembly of NPCs. However, NPCs frequently cluster in dysmorphic nuclei with a high progerin content. Additionally, nuclear envelope defects that arise during replicative senescence cause NPC clustering in senescent cells with dysmorphic nuclei.

RESUMO

Correct bioriented attachment of sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle is essential for chromosome segregation. In budding yeast, the conserved protein shugoshin (Sgo1) contributes to biorientation by recruiting the protein phosphatase PP2A-Rts1 and the condensin complex to centromeres. Using peptide prints, we identified a Serine-Rich Motif (SRM) of Sgo1 that mediates the interaction with condensin and is essential for centromeric condensin recruitment and the establishment of biorientation. We show that the interaction is regulated via phosphorylation within the SRM and we determined the phospho-sites using mass spectrometry. Analysis of the phosphomimic and phosphoresistant mutants revealed that SRM phosphorylation disrupts the shugoshin-condensin interaction. We present evidence that Mps1, a central kinase in the spindle assembly checkpoint, directly phosphorylates Sgo1 within the SRM to regulate the interaction with condensin and thereby condensin localization to centromeres. Our findings identify novel mechanisms that control shugoshin activity at the centromere in budding yeast.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and associated receptors ERBB2 and ERBB3 are important for skin development and homeostasis. To date, ERBB4 could not be unambiguously identified in the epidermis. The aim of this study was to analyze the ERBB-receptor family with a special focus on ERBB4 in vitro in human keratinocytes and in vivo in human and murine epidermis. METHODS: We compared the transcript levels of all ERBB-receptors and the seven EGFR-ligands in HaCaT and A431 cells. ERBB-receptor activity was analyzed after epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation by Western blot analysis. The location of the receptors was investigated by immunofluorescence in human keratinocytes and skin. Finally, we investigated the function of ERBB4 in the epidermis of skin-specific ERBB4-knockout mice. RESULTS: After EGF stimulation, all ligands were upregulated except for epigen. Expression levels of EGFR were unchanged, but all other ERBB-receptors were down-regulated after EGF stimulation, although all ERBB-receptors were phosphorylated. We detected ERBB4 at mRNA and protein levels in both human epidermal cell lines and in the basal layer of human and murine epidermis. Skin-specific ERBB4-knockout mice revealed a significantly reduced epidermal thickness with a decreased proliferation rate. CONCLUSIONS: ERBB4 is expressed in the basal layer of human epidermis and cultured keratinocytes as well as in murine epidermis. Moreover, ERBB4 is phosphorylated in HaCaT cells due to EGF stimulation, and its deletion in murine epidermis affects skin thickness by decreasing proliferation. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: ERBB4 is expressed in human keratinocytes and plays a role in murine skin homeostasis.
