Microtubule associated proteins are involved in regulation of microtubule dynamics. Its mutation and dysregulation result in severe consequences such as mitotic block and apoptosis. NuSAP has been reported as a microtubule associated protein, depletion of which by RNAi results in spindle deficiency and cytokinesis failure. However, its role in regulation of cell cycle and how NuSAP protein is controlled during cell cycle progression still remains unclear. Here we show that NuSAP can be ubiquitinated and degraded by APC/C-hCdh1 E3 ligase. Evolutionally conserved KEN box functions as the degron of NuSAP. Overexpression of NuSAP induces mitotic arrest and the microtubule associated domain and nuclear localization are both required for NuSAP to induce mitotic arrest. Furthermore, overexpression of NuSAP results in cells accumulation with microtubule bundling and spindle deficiency. Thus, our results give evidence for the first time that NuSAP protein level is tightly regulated by the APC/C ubiquitin ligase complex and NuSAP induces mitotic arrest dependent of its microtubule affinity.
