含有γ-微管蛋白的复合物被认为成核和锚中心体微管(MT)。令人惊讶的是,最近的一项研究(Strome,S.,J. Powers,M. Dunn,K.放大图片作者:C. J.马龙,J.白色,G. Seydoux和W.萨克斯顿摩尔生物细胞12:1751-1764)显示,在通过RNA介导的干扰(RNAi)耗尽γ-微管蛋白的秀丽隐杆线虫胚胎中形成中心体星形细胞。在这里,我们研究了C.线虫胚胎的γ-微管蛋白功能严重受损。我们表征了通过RNAi去除了98%中心体γ-微管蛋白的胚胎、表达γ-微管蛋白突变形式的胚胎和去除了γ-微管蛋白相关蛋白CeGrip-1的胚胎。在所有情况下,中心体星状体在间期未能形成,但在胚胎进入有丝分裂时组装。这些有丝分裂紫苑的形成不需要ZYG-9,一个中心体MT相关蛋白,或细胞质动力蛋白,一个负末端定向马达,有助于在其他生物体中的有丝分裂紫苑的自组织。通过在体内动态监测冷处理的有丝分裂中心体的MT再生长,我们发现中心体成核活性受到γ-微管蛋白耗竭的严重损害。因此,尽管未知的机制可以支持有丝分裂中心体星状体的部分组装,但γ-微管蛋白是动力学显性的中心体MT成核剂。
γ-Tubulin–containing complexes are thought to nucleate and anchor centrosomal microtubules (MTs). Surprisingly, a recent study (Strome, S., J. Powers, M. Dunn, K. Reese, C.J. Malone, J. White, G. Seydoux, and W. Saxton. Mol. Biol. Cell. 12:1751–1764) showed that centrosomal asters form in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos depleted of γ-tubulin by RNA-mediated interference (RNAi). Here, we investigate the nucleation and organization of centrosomal MT asters in C. elegans embryos severely compromised for γ-tubulin function. We characterize embryos depleted of ∼98% centrosomal γ-tubulin by RNAi, embryos expressing a mutant form of γ-tubulin, and embryos depleted of a γ-tubulin–associated protein, CeGrip-1. In all cases, centrosomal asters fail to form during interphase but assemble as embryos enter mitosis. The formation of these mitotic asters does not require ZYG-9, a centrosomal MT-associated protein, or cytoplasmic dynein, a minus end–directed motor that contributes to self-organization of mitotic asters in other organisms. By kinetically monitoring MT regrowth from cold-treated mitotic centrosomes in vivo, we show that centrosomal nucleating activity is severely compromised by γ-tubulin depletion. Thus, although unknown mechanisms can support partial assembly of mitotic centrosomal asters, γ-tubulin is the kinetically dominant centrosomal MT nucleator.
