Precise orientation of the mitotic spindle determines the correct cell division axis and is essential for tissue development and homeostasis. It is known that spindle misorientation underlies some mammalian diseases, such as tumourigenesis and polycystic kidney disease. Two kinases, Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and leucinerich repeat kinase 1 (LRRK1), were recently identified as candidate kinases required for spindle orientation by an RNAi-based screen. 1 PLK1 is a mitotic kinase that regulates diverse mitotic events, including centrosome maturation. However, its precise role in spindle orientation has not been well understood. LRRK1 is related to the familial Parkinsonism gene product Park8/LRRK2, and contains a Ras of complex proteins (ROC) GTPase domain and a MAPKKK-like kinase domain. We have previously reported that LRRK1 participates in the intercellular trafficking of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. 2 However, the role of LRRK1 in mitosis has remained unknown. Recently, we characterized the roles of PLK1 and LRRK1 in spindle orientation. 3 We found that PLK1 interacts with LRRK1 through its Polo-box domain and phosphorylates LRRK1 at Ser-1790, an event that is required for cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1)-mediated activation of LRRK1 at centrosomes. CDK1 phosphorylates LRRK1 at Thr-1400, which is located in the activation loop of LRRK1, turning on LRRK1 kinase activity. Thus, LRRK1 is activated by the sequential phosphorylation of 2 mitotic kinases, PLK1 and CDK1. Importantly, this PLK1-dependent activation of LRRK1 is required for the regulation of mitotic spindle orientation. We showed that LRRK1 regulates spindle orientation in a manner dependent on its kinase activity. Furthermore, the spindle misorientation caused by PLK1 inactivation is rescued by expression of the phospho-mimicking mutant LRRK1 (S1790D), but not the non-phosphorylatable mutant LRRK1 (S1790A), suggesting that PLK1 phosphorylation of LRRK1 Ser-1790 regulates the orientation of the mitotic spindle. Thus, LRRK1 regulates spindle orientation downstream of PLK1. Correct mitotic spindle orientation depends on the interaction of astral microtubules (MTs) with the cell cortex and MT nucleation activity of the mitotic centrosome is indispensable for astral MT formation. g-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC), which is a large multi-protein complex containing g-tubulin, is known to be essential for MT nucleation. In principle, MT nucleation of centrosomes could be regulated at one or more steps including the assembly of gTuRC, its localization at centrosomes, and its subsequent nucleating activity. 4 Since LRRK1 depletion causes a reduction in MT nucleation of mitotic centrosomes, we examined the role of LRRK1 in each of these steps. As one binding partner of LRRK1, we identified the centrosomal protein CDK5RAP2, a human homolog of Drosophila Centrosomin (Cnn). CDK5RAP2 is required for centrosome MT nucleation activity and shares homology with Drosophila Cnn in 2 of its domains, CM1 and CM2: CM1 is involved in the association with g-tubulin, while CM2 is important for centrosomal localization. 5 Interestingly, LRRK1 associates with the N-terminal region of CDK5RAP2, which includes the CM1 domain, and phosphorylates CDK5RAP2 at Ser-140, which is located close to the CM1 domain. Since the CM1 domain of CDK5RAP2 directly binds to gTuRC, it has been thought that CDK5RAP2 may facilitate the recruitment of gTuRC to mitotic centrosomes. However, although knockdown of LRRK1 results in a reduced interaction between the CM1 domain of CDK5RAP2 and g-tubulin, we found that it does not affect g-tubulin …
