Abstract

The shugoshin proteins are universal protectors of centromeric cohesin during mitosis and meiosis. The binding of human Sgo1 to the PP2A-B56 phosphatase through a coiled coil (CC) region is believed to mediate cohesion protection during mitosis. Here we undertook a structure function analysis of the PP2A-B56-Sgo1 complex, revealing unanticipated aspects of complex formation and function. We establish that a highly conserved pocket of the B56 regulatory subunit is required for Sgo1 binding and cohesion protection. Consistent with this, we show that Sgo1 blocks the binding of PP2A-B56 substrates containing a canonical B56 binding motif. Surprisingly, we identify B56 and Sgo1 mutants that prevent complex formation yet support cohesion protection and normal mitotic progression. This suggests that Sgo1 and PP2A-B56 have cohesion protection activity independently of complex formation. Collectively our work provides important insight into cohesion protection during mitosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
