Heterochromatin protein 1 alpha (HP1 alpha) regulates chromatin specification and plasticity during cell fate decision. Different structural determinants account for HP1a localization and function during cell division cycle. Our earlier study showed that centromeric localization of HP1 alpha depends on the epigenetic mark H3K9me3 in interphase, while its centromeric location in mitosis relies on uncharacterized PXVXL-containing factors. Here, we identified a PXVXL-containing protein, ligand-dependent nuclear receptor-interacting factor 1 (LRIF1), which recruits HP1a to the centromere of mitotic chromosomes and its interaction with HP1 alpha is essential for accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis. LRIF1 interacts directly with HP1 alpha chromoshadow domain via an evolutionarily conserved PXVXL motif within its C-terminus. Importantly, the LRIF1-HP1 alpha interaction is critical for Aurora B activity in the inner centromere. Mutation of PXVXL motif of LRIF1 leads to defects in HP1 alpha centromere targeting and aberrant chromosome segregation. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized direct link between LRIF1 and HP1a in centromere plasticity control and illustrate the critical role of LRIF1-HP1 alpha interaction in orchestrating accurate cell division.
