During mitosis, the microtubule depolymerase KIF2C, the tumor suppressor BRCA2, and the kinase PLK1 contribute to the control of kinetochore-microtubule attachments. Both KIF2C and BRCA2 are phosphorylated by PLK1, and BRCA2 phosphorylated at T207 (BRCA2-pT207) serves as a docking site for PLK1. Reducing this interaction results in unstable microtubule-kinetochore attachments. Here we identified that KIF2C also directly interacts with BRCA2-pT207. Indeed, the N-terminal domain of KIF2C adopts a Tudor/PWWP/MBT fold that unexpectedly binds to phosphorylated motifs. Using an optogenetic platform, we found that KIF2C forms membrane-less organelles that assemble through interactions mediated by this phospho-binding domain. KIF2C condensation does not depend on BRCA2-pT207 but requires active Aurora B and PLK1 kinases. Moreover, it concentrates PLK1 and BRCA2-pT207 in an Aurora B-dependent manner. Finally, KIF2C depolymerase activity promotes the formation of KIF2C condensates, but strikingly, KIF2C condensates exclude tubulin: they are located on microtubules, especially at their extremities. Altogether, our results suggest that, during the attachment of kinetochores to microtubules, the assembly of KIF2C condensates amplifies PLK1 and KIF2C catalytic activities and spatially concentrates BRCA2-pT207 at the extremities of microtubules. We propose that this novel and highly regulated mechanism contributes to the control of microtubule-kinetochore attachments, chromosome alignment, and stability.
在有丝分裂过程中,微管解聚酶KIF2C、肿瘤抑制因子BRCA2和激酶PLK1参与动粒-微管附着的调控。KIF2C和BRCA2均被PLK1磷酸化,在T207位点磷酸化的BRCA2(BRCA2-pT207)作为PLK1的停靠位点。减少这种相互作用会导致微管-动粒附着不稳定。在此,我们发现KIF2C也直接与BRCA2-pT207相互作用。实际上,KIF2C的N端结构域采用了Tudor/PWWP/MBT折叠,意外地与磷酸化基序结合。利用光遗传学平台,我们发现KIF2C形成无膜细胞器,通过这种磷酸结合结构域介导的相互作用进行组装。KIF2C凝聚不依赖于BRCA2-pT207,但需要活跃的Aurora B和PLK1激酶。此外,它以Aurora B依赖的方式使PLK1和BRCA2-pT207聚集。最后,KIF2C解聚酶活性促进KIF2C凝聚物的形成,但引人注目的是,KIF2C凝聚物排除微管蛋白:它们位于微管上,尤其是在微管末端。总之,我们的结果表明,在动粒与微管附着过程中,KIF2C凝聚物的组装放大了PLK1和KIF2C的催化活性,并在空间上使BRCA2-pT207集中在微管末端。我们提出,这种新的且高度调控的机制有助于控制微管-动粒附着、染色体排列和稳定性。
