Centriole-to-centrosome conversion (CCC) safeguards centriole homeostasis by coupling centriole duplication with segregation, and is essential for stabilization of mature vertebrate centrioles naturally devoid of the geometric scaffold or the cartwheel. Here we identified PPP1R35, a putative regulator of the protein phosphatase PP1, as a novel centriolar protein required for CCC. We found that PPP1R35 is enriched at newborn daughter centrioles in S or G2 phase. In the absence of PPP1R35, centriole assembly initiates normally in S phase, but none of the nascent centrioles can form active centrosomes or recruit CEP295, an essential factor for CCC. Instead, all PPP1R35-null centrioles, although stable during their birth in interphase, become disintegrated after mitosis upon cartwheel removal. Surprisingly, we found that neither the centriolar localization nor the function of PPP1R35 in CCC requires the putative PP1-interacting motif. PPP1R35 is thus acting upstream of CEP295 to induce CCC for proper centriole maintenance.

ABSTRACTCentriole reduplication leads to the formation of supernumerary centrosomes, which promote cellular transformation, invasion and are a hallmark of tumors. A close association between a mother centriole and a procentriole (engagement), established during centriole duplication, intrinsically blocks reduplication. Premature loss of centriole association predisposes centrioles for reduplication and occurs during various types of cell cycle arrests in the presence of high Polo-like kinase 1 activity. Here we use nano-scale imaging and biochemistry to reveal the processes leading to the loss of centriole association and reduplication. We discover that centriole reduplication is driven by events occurring on procentriole microtubule walls. These events are mechanistically different from mitotic centriole separation driven by Pericentrin and Separase but are similar to the physiological process of centriole distancing occurring in unperturbed cycling G2 cells. We propose a concept in which centriole reduplication is a consequence of hijacked and amplified centriole maturation process.HighlightsSeparase-mediated Pericentrin reorganization is not required for centriole distancing and reduplication in interphase.Expression of active Plk1 in S phase leads to centrosomal ultrastructural changes resembling G2 phase.Procentrioles without microtubule walls cannot disengage.Centriole distancing is intrinsically regulated by the events occurring on procentriole microtubules.

Pea Roots

Experiments with cultured pea roots were conducted to determine (i) whether extrachromosomal DNA was produced by cells in the late S phase or in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, (ii) whether the maturation of nascent DNA replicated by these cells achieved chromosomal size, (iii) when extrachromosomal DNA was removed from the chromosomal duplex, and (iv) the replication of nascent chains by the extrachromosomal DNA after its release from the chromosomal duplex. Autoradiography and cytophotometry of cells of carbohydrate-starved root tips revealed that extrachromosomal DNA was produced by a small fraction of cells accumulated in the late S phase after they had replicated about 80% of their DNA. Velocity sedimentation of nascent chromosomal DNA in alkaline sucrose gradients indicated that the DNA of cells in the late S phase failed to achieve chromosomal size. After reaching sizes of 70 X 10(6) to 140 X 10(6) daltons, some of the nascent chromosomal molecules were broken, presumably releasing extrachromosomal DNA several hours later. Sedimentation of selectively extracted extrachromosomal DNA either from dividing cells or from those in the late S phase showed that it replicated two nascent chains, one of 3 X 10(6) daltons and another of 7 X 10(6) daltons. Larger molecules of extrachromosomal DNA were detectable after cells were labeled for 24 h. These two observations were compatible with the idea that the extrachromosomal DNA was first replicated as an integral part of the chromosomal duplex, was cut from the duplex, and then, once free of the chromosome, replicated two smaller chains of 3 X 10(6) and 7 X 10(6) daltons.

Synchronized CV-1 cells were transfected with SV40 (simian virus 40) DNA-calcium phosphate co-precipitates. In the presence of carrier DNA, the transfection efficiency of SV40 DNA was decreased 5-fold in S-phase cells and was increased 4-fold in preparations of mitotically enriched cells as compared with asynchronous controls. No difference was observed when carrier DNA was omitted, when cells had progressed through S-phase and into G2-phase, or when the infectivity of cells to intact SV40 virus was tested. These results highlight the importance of cell-cycle-dependent factors on DNA-mediated gene transfer.

Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

Cubic membranes (CMs) represent unique biological membrane structures with highly curved three-dimensional periodic minimal surfaces, which have been observed in a wide range of cell types and organelles under various stress conditions (e. g., starvation, virus-infection, and oxidation). However, there are few reports on the biological roles of CMs, especially their roles in cell cycle. Hence, we established a stable cell population of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) of 100% S phase by thymidine treatment, and determined certain parameters in G2 phase released from S phase. Then we found a close relationship between CMs formation and cell cycle, and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial function. After the synchronization of HepG2 cells were induced, CMs were observed through transmission electron microscope in G2 phase but not in G1, S and M phase. Moreover, the increased ATP production, mitochondrial and intracellular ROS levels were also present in G2 phase, which demonstrated a positive correlation with CMs formation by Pearson correlation analysis. This study suggests that CMs may act as an antioxidant structure in response to mitochondria-derived ROS during G2 phase and thus participate in cell cycle progression.

ABSTRACTCancer cells frequently include supernumerary centrioles. Here, we generated TP53;PCNT;CEP215 triple knockout cell lines and observed precocious separation and amplification of the centrioles at M phase. Many of the triple KO cells maintained supernumerary centrioles throughout the cell cycle. The M-phase-assembled centrioles lack an ability to function as templates for centriole assembly during S phase. They also lack an ability to organize microtubules in interphase. However, we found that a fraction of them acquired an ability to organize microtubules during M phase. Our works provide an example how supernumerary centrioles behave in dividing cells.

Levels of trans-acting factor (H1-SF) binding to the histone H1 gene-specific motif (5'-AAACACA-3' [L. S. Coles and J. R. E. Wells, Nucleic Acids Res. 13:585-594, 1985]) increase 12-fold from G1 to S-phase in synchronized cells and decrease again in G2 phase of the cell cycle. Since the H1 element is required for S-phase expression of H1 genes (S. Dalton and J. R. E. Wells, EMBO J. 7:49-56, 1988), it is likely that the increased levels of H1-SF binding component play an important role in S-phase regulation of H1 gene transcription.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains containing temperature-sensitive mutations in the SIT4 protein phosphatase arrest in late G1 at the nonpermissive temperature. Order-of-function analysis shows that SIT4 is required in late G1 for progression into S phase. While the levels of SIT4 do not change in the cell cycle, SIT4 associates with two high-molecular-weight phosphoproteins in a cell-cycle-dependent fashion. In addition, we have identified a polymorphic gene, SSD1, that in some versions can suppress the lethality due to a deletion of SIT4 and can also partially suppress the phenotypic defects due to a null mutation in BCY1. The SSD1 protein is implicated in G1 control and has a region of similarity to the dis3 protein of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We have also identified a gene, PPH2alpha, that in high copy number can partially suppress the growth defect of sit4 strains. The PPH2 alpha gene encodes a predicted protein that is 80% identical to the catalytic domain of mammalian type 2A protein phosphatases but also has an acidic amino-terminal extension not present in other phosphatases.

The viral Ki-ras gene must be expressed in the G2 phase if ts Kirsten sarcoma virus-infected NRK cells are to proliferate in serum-free medium

NRK cells infected with a temperature-sensitive Kirsten sarcoma virus (ts371 KSV) are transformed at 36 degrees C, but are untransformed at 41 degrees C which inactivates the abnormally thermolabile oncogenic p21Ki product of the viral Ki-ras gene. At 41 degrees C, tsKSV-infected NRK cells were arrested in G0/G1 when incubated in serum-free medium, but could then be stimulated to transit G1, replicate DNA, and divide by adding serum at 41 degrees C or dropping the temperature to a p21-activating 36 degrees C without adding serum. When quiescent cells at 41 degrees C were stimulated to transit G1 in serum-free medium by activating p21 at 36 degrees C and then shifted back to the p21-inactivating 41 degrees C in the mid-S phase, they continued replicating DNA but could not transit G2. Reactivating p21 in the G2-arrested cells by once again lowering the temperature to 36 degrees C stimulated a rapid entry into mitosis. By contrast, while serum-stimulated quiescent G0 cells at 41 degrees C replicate DNA and divide, serum did not induce G2-arrested cells to enter mitosis, indicating that serum growth factors may trigger events in the G1 phase that ultimately determine G2 transit. These observations made with the viral ras product suggest that cellular ras proto-oncogene products have a role in G2 transit of normal cells.
