The co-chaperone BAG3, in complex with the heat shock protein HSPB8, plays a role in protein quality control during mechanical strain. It is part of a multichaperone complex that senses damaged cytoskeletal proteins and orchestrates their seclusion and/or degradation by selective autophagy. Here we describe a novel role for the BAG3-HSPB8 complex in mitosis, a process involving profound changes in cell tension homeostasis. BAG3 is hyperphosphorylated at mitotic entry and localizes to centrosomal regions. BAG3 regulates, in an HSPB8-dependent manner, the timely congression of chromosomes to the metaphase plate by influencing the three-dimensional positioning of the mitotic spindle. Depletion of BAG3 caused defects in cell rounding at metaphase and dramatic blebbing of the cortex associated with abnormal spindle rotations. Similar defects were observed upon silencing of the autophagic receptor p62/SQSTM1 that contributes to BAG3-mediated selective autophagy pathway. Mitotic cells depleted of BAG3, HSPB8 or p62/SQSTM1 exhibited disorganized actin-rich retraction fibres, which are proposed to guide spindle orientation. Proper spindle positioning was rescued in BAG3-depleted cells upon addition of the lectin concanavalin A, which restores cortex rigidity. Together, our findings suggest the existence of a so-far unrecognized quality control mechanism involving BAG3, HSPB8 and p62/SQSTM1 for accurate remodelling of actin-based mitotic structures that guide spindle orientation. Small heat shock proteins (sHSP/HSPB) form a diverse family of ATP-independent chaperones. Some of them protect the proteome against aggregation during stress and others regulate normal biological processes through ill-defined mechanisms. Interactions between HSPB proteins and elements of the cytoskeleton are increasingly linked to their implication in human degenerative diseases and cancer. For instance, a multichaperone complex containing HSPB8 and its co-chaperone BAG3 would maintain muscle cell integrity by promoting the autophagic clearance of damaged components within F-actin structures. Selective autophagy is a targeted protein degradation mechanism for elimination of damaged organelles and proteins. It may also regulate removal of signaling proteins from their functionally relevant sites during intense remodeling of the cytoskeleton, as it occurs during mitosis. Here, we report a novel role for HSPB8 and BAG3 during mitosis in mammalian cells that involves the autophagic receptor p62/SQSTM1. We show that a reduction of any protein within the HSPB8-BAG3-p62/SQSTM signaling axis similarly impairs mitotic progression and chromosome segregation by affecting orientation of the mitotic spindle and assembly of mitotic-specific actin structures. Our findings establish a unique role for HSPB8 in a novel function of BAG3 in mitotic cell division and genome stability, through effect on remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton.
