Movement of various cargoes toward microtubule
minus ends is driven by the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein (CD).
Many cargoes are motile only during certain cell cycle phases,
suggesting that CD function may be under cell cycle control.
Phosphorylation of the CD light intermediate chain (DLIC) has been
suggested to play a crucial role in modulating CD function during the
Xenopus embryonic cell cycle, where CD-driven organelle
movement is active in interphase but greatly reduced in metaphase. This
down-regulation correlates with hyperphosphorylation of DLIC and
release of CD from the membrane. Here we investigate the role of the
key mitotic kinase, cdc2-cyclinB1, in this process. We show that DLIC
within the native Xenopus CD complex is an excellent
substrate for purified Xenopus cdc2-glutathione
S-transferase (GST) cyclinB1 (cdc2-GSTcyclinB1) kinase.
Mass spectrometry of native DLIC revealed that a conserved cdc2 site
(Ser-197) previously implicated in the metaphase modulation of CD
remains phosphorylated in interphase and so is unlikely to be the key
regulatory site. We also demonstrate that incubating interphase
membranes with cdc2-GSTcyclinB1 kinase results in substantial release
of CD from the membrane. These data suggest that phosphorylation of
DLIC by cdc2 kinase leads directly to the loss of membrane-associated CD and an inhibition of organelle movement.
The nucleotide sequence(s) reported in this paper has been submitted to the GenBankTM/EMBL Data Bank with accession number(s) AF317841.
