Pericentrin interacts with Kinesin-1 to drive centriole motility

Matthew R Hannaford et al. J Cell Biol. .

Abstract

Centrosome positioning is essential for their function. Typically, centrosomes are transported to various cellular locations through the interaction of centrosomal microtubules (MTs) with motor proteins anchored at the cortex or the nuclear surface. However, it remains unknown how centrioles migrate in cellular contexts in which they do not nucleate MTs. Here, we demonstrate that during interphase, inactive centrioles move directly along the interphase MT network as Kinesin-1 cargo. We identify Pericentrin-Like-Protein (PLP) as a novel Kinesin-1 interacting molecule essential for centriole motility. In vitro assays show that PLP directly interacts with the cargo binding domain of Kinesin-1, allowing PLP to migrate on MTs. Binding assays using purified proteins revealed that relief of Kinesin-1 autoinhibition is critical for its interaction with PLP. Finally, our studies of neural stem cell asymmetric divisions in the Drosophila brain show that the PLP-Kinesin-1 interaction is essential for the timely separation of centrioles, the asymmetry of centrosome activity, and the age-dependent centrosome inheritance.

Model. (A) Diagram showing proposed complex assembled on the outer centriole for transport. Kinesin-1 interacts with the central region of PLP (aa584-1811). A yet-to-be-identified activator relieves autoinhibition of the Kinesin heavy chain, thereby enhancing MT landing rate as well as PLP interaction. (B) Diagram illustrating the centriole cycle of asymmetrically dividing neuroblasts (Fig. 8 A). (C i–vi) Diagram showing the consequence of defective centriole motility on the centriole cycle. (i) In early interphase, the centrioles disengage but remain at the apical side of the cell (Fig. 8, C–E). (ii) In mid interphase, both centrioles remain at the apical side of the cell, and the mother centriole (normally inactive) recruits PCM (Fig. 8 J and Fig. 9 A). (iii) The consequence of this is that at prophase, both centrosomes are activated at the apical side of the cell. They attempt to separate via the prophase centrosome separation pathway (Fig. 8, C–E). (iv) In some cells, the prophase centrosome separation and spindle alignment machinery is able to rescue the defective motility, resulting in a normal division with the neuroblast retaining the daughter centrosome. (v) In ∼30% of cells, the prophase centrosome separation pathway is able to rescue the centrosome separation; however, the NB will retain the mother centrosome (Fig. 9, E and F). (vi) In plp neuroblast, some cells fail to separate the two centrosomes by the prophase centrosome separation pathway. In this case, both centrosomes cluster at one spindle pole (Fig. 8 I); this will result in supernumerary centrioles in the next cell cycle (Fig. 8 H).
