Timely centrosome separation is critical for accurate chromosome separation. It is initiated by Nek2A at the onset of mitosis, but the mechanism for the strict requirement of phosphorylated Nek2A for its own activation remains unclear. In this study, we have found that Plkl1 interacts with Cep85 and forms a ternary complex with Cep85-Nek2A. Nek2A binding, but not its kinase activity, is pre-required for Cep85 to be phosphorylated by Plk1. Nek2A-dependent CepB5 phosphorylation, in turn, leads to the dissociation of phosphorylated CepB5 exclusively from phospho-Nek2A, thereby increasing the freed phospho-Nek2A activity. Both kinases are also required for phosphorylating endogenous Cep85 in cells, and timely phosphorylation of CepB5 and Nek2A is crucial for initiating centrosome disjunction at G2/M. Overall, our study has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of Plk1 and Nek2A and identified Cep85 as a missing piece directly relaying Plk1 activity to Nek2A for its activation in centrosome disjunction.
