Presentation Transcript

  1. Ahna Skop Identification of novel cell division proteins: functional proteomics of the midbody

  2. The phases of cytokinesis or cleavage

  3. The Midbody -formed from microtubules that span the spindle midzone in late anaphase that are bundled by the cleavage furrow - midbody function is poorly characterized Length(early) ~3-5um Length (late) ~1um

  4. Analogous division remnants midbody Several conserved components known

  5. Rationale Midbodies easy to purify Enriched source of proteins relevant to cell division Function-based secondary screen possible

  6. Midbody purification -sychronize CHO cells in cytokinesis -Stabilize MTs and actin -Isolate midbodies in a hypotonic lysis buffer (PIPES, Triton) by vortexing vigorously -Pellet

  7. The Strategy Tandem Liquid Chromatography- Tandem Mass Spec (LC/LC-MS/MS) (i.e no gel cutting) 4x Isolate Midbodies Synchronize CHO cells BIG LIST of proteins RNAi homologs to test for function Batch BLAST to find C. elegans homologs

  8. Midbody LC/LC Tandem Mass Spec Data • 577 Mammalian Proteins: • REMOVED 418 from list (!!!) Nuclear contaminants (1 nucleus/60-70 midbodies) histones/chromatin proteins (15%) splicing factors (6%) Ribosomal proteins (12%) mitochondrial proteins (25%) heat shock proteins (6%) transcription/translation factors

  9. Midbody LC/LC Tandem Mass Spec Data • 159 Mammalian Proteins: • 52known cell division proteins in mammal, yeast, amoebae, plant, Drosophila or C.elegans. • 107 proteins previously uncharacterized with respect to cell division • 90% had C. elegans homologues Ahna RNAied OVER 171 homologous or similar genes 88% had meiotic or mitotic defects!

  10. Secretory Kinases Other Actin Binding Structural MT binding Functional Classes of Mammalian Midbody Proteins

  11. 38% 40 RNAi Phenotypes Observed 30 25% 24% 20 16% 16% 14% 12% 12% 11% 8% 10 early late gonad mit mei seg align unc cytokinesis sterile M-phase WT

  12. RNAi examples K04D7.1-RACK1 -anchor for PKC and other signaling enzymes, dynamin dsRNA is injected into a histone & tubulin::GFP strain

  13. The C. elegans gonad is a syncytium Top Focal Plane oocytes germline nuclei rachis common cytoplasm Mid Focal Plane oocytes

  14. The C.elegans gonad is partially cellularized like the Drosophila embryo  an incomplete form of cytokinesis syncytial germline membrane

  15. An example of a gonad cytokinesis defect F09C3.1-IQGAP WT gonad -midfocal plane F09C3.1 RNAi -midfocal plane

  16. T05E11.3-Endoplasmin -most abundant ER protein metaphase congression failure lagging chromosomes

  17. Conclusions - good news • Functional proteomic analysis of the mammalian midbody revealed conserved cell division proteins • Most midbody components identified function in cytokinesis and related processes • Common membrane-cytoskeletal dynamic mechanisms appear to underlie cell division, vesicle trafficking and neuronal function

  18. Caveats • Purification procedures are never perfect •  purity/sensitivity trade-off •  effects of drugs, detergents • Data analysis is necessarily somewhat subjective •  what to choose for functional studies • Multiple functions of identified proteins •  complicated functional analysis

  19. Other potential cellular proteomes • mitotic spindles • chromosomes/kinetochores • nuclear matrix
