中区是有丝分裂纺锤体的区域,在后期维持纺锤体的双极性,并产生纺锤体伸长(后期B)所需的力。尽管微管(MT)马达蛋白在纺锤体中区有明确的作用,但对于微管相关蛋白(MAPs)如何促进中区的组织和功能了解较少。在此,我们报道芽殖酵母Ase1p是中区特异性MAPs保守家族的成员。通过尺寸排阻色谱法和速度沉降法,提取物中的Ase1p和纯化的Ase1p都表现为同型二聚体。Ase1p在体外能结合并捆绑微管。通过活细胞显微镜观察,Ase1p的缺失导致一种特定的缺陷:在后期中期纺锤体过早解体。此外,当过度表达时,Ase1p足以在S期停滞的细胞中引发纺锤体伸长。荧光漂白恢复(FRAP)显示Ase1p在中区内的周转速率非常慢,并且沿纺锤体微管的侧向扩散有限。我们提出Ase1p作为一种微管交联桥发挥作用,赋予中区类似基质的特性。纺锤体中区MAPs的微管依赖性网络可能是假定的纺锤体基质的一个分子基础。
The midzone is the domain of the mitotic spindle that maintains spindle bipolarity during anaphase and generates forces required for spindle elongation (anaphase B). Although there is a clear role for microtubule (MT) motor proteins at the spindle midzone, less is known about how microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) contribute to midzone organization and function. Here, we report that budding yeast Ase1p is a member of a conserved family of midzone-specific MAPs. By size exclusion chromatography and velocity sedimentation, both Ase1p in extracts and purified Ase1p behaved as a homodimer. Ase1p bound and bundled MTs in vitro. By live cell microscopy, loss of Ase1p resulted in a specific defect: premature spindle disassembly in mid-anaphase. Furthermore, when overexpressed, Ase1p was sufficient to trigger spindle elongation in S phase–arrested cells. FRAP revealed that Ase1p has both a very slow rate of turnover within the midzone and limited lateral diffusion along spindle MTs. We propose that Ase1p functions as an MT cross-bridge that imparts matrix-like characteristics to the midzone. MT-dependent networks of spindle midzone MAPs may be one molecular basis for the postulated spindle matrix.
