PLK1-Mediated Phosphorylation Cascade Activates the Mis18 Complex to Ensure Centromere Inheritance

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1126/science.ado8270 · Paper page

Abstract

Accurate chromosome segregation requires the attachment of spindle microtubules to centromeres, which are epigenetically defined by the enrichment of CENP-A nucleosomes. During DNA replication, existing CENP-A nucleosomes undergo dilution as they get redistributed among the two DNA strands. To preserve centromere identity, CENP-A levels must be restored in a cell-cycle controlled manner orchestrated by the Mis18 complex. Here we provide a comprehensive mechanistic basis for PLK1-mediated licensing of CENP-A loading. We demonstrate that PLK1 interacts with Mis18α and Mis18BP1 subunits of the Mis18 complex by recognising self-primed phosphorylations of Mis18α (S54) and Mis18BP1 (T78 and S93) through its Polo-box binding domain. Disrupting these PLK1 phosphorylations perturbed the centromere recruitment of HJURP and new CENP-A loading. Biochemical and functional analyses show that phosphorylation of Mis18α and subsequent PLK1 binding is required to activate the Mis18α/β complex for robust Mis18α/β-HJURP interaction. Thus, our study reveals key molecular events underpinning the licensing role of PLK1 in ensuring accurate centromere inheritance. One-Sentence Summary: PLK1 phosphorylation cascade licenses CENP-A loading by facilitating HJURP centromere recruitment via Mis18α/β activation.

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.
