From the The intermediate filament protein nestin is
expressed during early stages of development in the central nervous
system and in muscle tissues. Nestin expression is associated
with morphologically dynamic cells, such as dividing and migrating
cells. However, little is known about regulation of nestin during these
cellular processes. We have characterized the
phosphorylation-based regulation of nestin during different stages of
the cell cycle in a neuronal progenitor cell line, ST15A. Confocal
microscopy of nestin organization and 32P in
vivo labeling studies show that the mitotic reorganization of
nestin is accompanied by elevated phosphorylation of nestin. The
phosphorylation-induced alterations in nestin organization during
mitosis in ST15A cells are associated with partial disassembly of
nestin filaments. Comparative in vitro and in
vivo phosphorylation studies identified cdc2 as the primary
mitotic kinase and Thr316 as a cdc2-specific
phosphorylation site on nestin. We generated a phosphospecific nestin
antibody recognizing the phosphorylated form of this site. By using
this antibody we observed that nestin shows constitutive
phosphorylation at Thr316, which is increased during
mitosis. This study shows that nestin is reorganized during mitosis and
that cdc2-mediated phosphorylation is an important regulator of nestin
organization and dynamics during mitosis.
