在细胞分裂过程中适当的微管成核需要augmin,一种微管相关的异八聚体蛋白复合物。在目前的模型中,augmin通过其hDgt 6亚基的C-末端募集γ-微管蛋白,使纺锤体内的微管成核。然而,augmin的生物化学复杂性限制了对其结构组织和功能的分析。在这里,我们重建人Augmin,并显示它是一个Y形的复杂,可以采用多种构象。此外,我们发现,一个二聚体的子复合物保留在体外微管结合特性的八聚体复合物,但没有适当的中期纺锤体定位。此外,八聚体Augmin复合物的非洲爪蟾卵提取物促进微管星形成,Ran-GTP增强的活性。这种活性需要微管结合,但不需要表征的hDgt 6 γ-微管蛋白募集结构域。四聚体亚复合物诱导紫苑,但活性和紫苑内的微管捆绑相比,八聚体复合物减少。总之,我们的发现揭示了augmin的结构组织,微管结合特性,并定义了它在组织微管结构中所需的亚基。
Proper microtubule nucleation during cell division requires augmin, a microtubule-associated hetero-octameric protein complex. In current models, augmin recruits γ-tubulin, via its hDgt6 subunit’s C-terminus, to nucleate microtubules within spindles. However, augmin’s biochemical complexity has restricted analysis of its structural organization and function. Here, we reconstitute human augmin and show it is a Y-shaped complex that can adopt multiple conformations. Further, we find that a dimeric sub-complex retains in vitro microtubule-binding properties of octameric complexes, but not proper metaphase spindle localization. Addition of octameric augmin complexes to Xenopus egg extracts promotes microtubule aster formation, an activity enhanced by Ran-GTP. This activity requires microtubule binding, but not the characterized hDgt6 γ-tubulin-recruitment domain. Tetrameric sub-complexes induce asters, but activity and microtubule bundling within asters are reduced compared to octameric complexes. Together, our findings shed light on augmin’s structural organization, microtubule binding properties and define subunits required for its function in organizing microtubule-based structures.
