Summary

Centriole duplication is coordinated such that a single round of duplication occurs during each cell cycle. Disruption of this synchrony causes defects including supernumerary centrosomes in cancer and perturbed ciliary signaling [15]. To preserve the normal number of centrioles, the level, localization, and post-translational modification of centriole proteins is regulated so that when centriole protein expression and/or activity is increased, centrioles self-assemble. Assembly is initiated by the formation of the cartwheel structure that comprises the base of centrioles [611]. SAS-6 constitutes the cartwheel and SAS-6 levels remain low until centriole assembly is initiated at S-phase onset [3, 12, 13]. Cep135 physically links to SAS-6 near the site of microtubule nucleation and binds to CPAP for triplet microtubule formation [13, 14]. We identify two distinct protein isoforms of Cep135 that antagonize each other to modulate centriole duplication: full length Cep135 (Cep135full) promotes new assembly while a short isoform, Cep135mini, represses it. Cep135mini represses centriole duplication by limiting the centriolar localization of Cep135full binding proteins (SAS-6 and CPAP) and the pericentriolar localization of γ-tubulin. The Cep135 isoforms exhibit distinct and complementary centrosomal localization during the cell cycle. Cep135mini protein decreases from centrosomes upon anaphase onset. We suggest that the decrease in Cep135mini from centrosomes promotes centriole assembly. The repression of centriole duplication by a splice isoform of a protein that normally promotes it serves as a novel mechanism to limit centriole duplication.

Results and Discussion

Cep135 is a microcephaly associated (MCPH8), cartwheel protein that promotes centriole assembly and stability [9, 13, 1519]. The protein contains a coiled-coil domain and conserved regions near the N-terminus and the C-terminus, respectively (Figure 1A). The Cep135 N-terminus binds to microtubules and CPAP [20, 21]. The Cep135 C-terminus binds to the cartwheel protein SAS-6 and maintains it at the cartwheel in Chlamydomonas [22]. Thus, Cep135 links the cartwheel with centriole triplet microtubule assembly, an early event in centriole biogenesis [13]. How Cep135 activity is regulated remains unclear [3].

A short isoform of Cep135 localizes to centrioles and the PCM

We identified an alternative splice isoform of human Cep135 (Figures 1A and S1A; Cep135mini). Intron 5 is retained in the mRNA of this short isoform causing translation read-through into the intron thereby adding 16 amino acids followed by a stop codon to generate Cep135mini. The 29 kDa Cep135mini isoform contains the Cep135 N-terminus required for microtubule binding but lacks the predicted CPAP and SAS-6 binding domains found in the 134 kDa Cep135full isoform [13, 16]. Both Cep135full and Cep135mini transcripts are detected in U2OS, RPE1, and HeLa cells (Figure S1B; data not shown).

Affinity purified antibodies that specifically recognize the Cep135mini isoform were generated using two peptides containing amino acid sequences specific to Cep135mini’s divergent C-terminus (Figures 1, S1). Cep135mini localizes to centrosomes in RPE1, U2OS, and HeLa cells (Figures 1B–F, S1; data not shown). Similar localization is found in cells expressing fluorescent protein fusions to Cep135mini (Figure S1I). Cep135mini’s localization pattern changes through the cell cycle. During G1-phase of the cell cycle, Cep135mini localizes predominantly to the proximal-end of centrioles but is slightly spread compared to Cep135full (Figures 1B, S4C–F), while in G2 it localizes both to centrioles and to the pericentriolar material (PCM) as judged by co-staining with γ-tubulin (Figures 1B, C and S4D–F). Cep135full localization to the PCM was not observed in either G1 or G2 (Figures 1B, C and S1I) [16, 20, 2325]. Immuno-EM localization also places Cep135mini at the proximal end of the centriole co-incident with the triplet microtubules and the PCM (Figures 1D–F). Thus, the Cep135 protein isoforms exhibit distinct localization patterns at the centrosome.

Cep135full and Cep135mini have opposing functions in centriole duplication

The unique localization patterns of the two Cep135 isoforms suggest that Cep135full and Cep135mini have distinct functions. To determine how Cep135full and Cep135mini expression impacts centriole duplication, we knocked down or over expressed these isoforms in U2OS cells and quantified the frequency of centriole over- and under-duplication [26]. Cep135full knockdown significantly increases the number of cells with under-duplicated centrioles (Figures 2A, B) while Cep135full over expression increases the number of cells with over-duplicated centrioles (Figure 2C). These results confirm prior studies showing that Cep135full promotes centriole assembly and that its levels must be controlled to limit centriole over-duplication [9, 13]. Conversely, Cep135mini knockdown increases the number of cells with over-duplicated centrioles (Figure 2A, B) while over expression of Cep135mini causes an increase in cells with under-duplicated centrioles (Figure 2C). These results suggest that Cep135mini represses centriole assembly. Cep135mini knockdown was confirmed by measuring transcript and protein levels (Figure S1F,H and S2B,C). All phenotypes were rescued by exogenous expression of siRNA impervious mutants (Figure S2D). Finally, the Cep135full and Cep135mini knockdown had a minimal impact on the cell cycle (Figure S2E); suggesting, the phenotypes are not due to changes in the cell cycle or in aberrant cell divisions. We did observe a low level of multipolar mitoses upon Cep135mini knockdown as is expected with centrosome amplification (data not shown). Together, the knockdown and over expression experiments support a model in which Cep135mini, in contrast to Cep135full, negatively regulates centriole and centrosome duplication.

(A) Centrioles (Centrin, red) are visualized relative to PCM (γ-tubulin, green) to quantify centriole under- and over-duplication in cycling U2OS cells. Normal centriole number is characterized as having either two centrioles per PCM focus or closely positioned foci during G1 or two centrioles per PCM focus during S-, G2-, and M-phase of the cell cycle. Scale bar, 1 μm. (B) Cep135full and Cep135mini depletion inhibits and promotes centriole duplication, respectively. Cep135full knockdown causes an increase in cells with under-duplicated centrioles (1±1% versus 16±6%). Cep135mini knockdown causes an increase in centriole over-duplication (7±2% versus 16±5%). Mean±SD represent five separate experiments for >500 cells for each condition. (C) Exogenous Cep135full and Cep135mini over expression induces an increase in centriole over-duplication (9±5% versus 41±16%) and an increase in centriole under-duplication (2±2% versus 43±19%), respectively. Mean±SD represents three separate experiments. (D) Plk4 over expression causes centriole amplification (Centrin-GFP, green) in 61±6% of S-phase arrested RPE1 cells. Scale bar, 1 μm. (E) Cep135full knockdown reduces the number of cells with amplified centrioles (61±6% versus 22±5%) while Cep135mini knockdown marginally increases the number of cells with amplified centrioles (61±6% versus 72±4%). Knockdown of both isoforms returned the cells to near control levels of centriole over-duplication (45±6%). (F) Cep135mini depletion increases the number of centrioles per cell (8±2 versus 11±4 centrioles per cell). (G) Over expression of Cep135full causes a moderate increase in the number of cells with amplified centrioles (64±5% versus 80±7%) while Cep135mini over expression represses centriole amplification (64±5% versus 6±6%). Mean±SD represents three separate experiments.

To determine whether Cep135full and Cep135mini perturbations affect centriole duplication independent of the cell cycle, we next examined whether these isoforms modulate aberrant Plk4-induced centriole amplification in S-phase arrested RPE1 cells [811]. 61% of control cells that over express Plk4 over-duplicate their centrioles (Figures 2D, E). Cep135full knockdown blocks Plk4-induced centriole over-duplication (Figures 2E) while Cep135full over expression moderately augments centriole over-duplication (Figure 2G, [9, 13]). In contrast, Cep135mini knockdown moderately increases over-duplication and also increases the total number of centrioles per cell (Figure 2F), while Cep135mini over expression dramatically reduces the number of cells with over-duplicated centrioles (Figure 2G). Concurrent knockdown of both isoforms partially rescues the loss in centriole over-duplication that is seen in Cep135full only knockdown (Figure 2E). A nearly identical trend was observed in S-phase arrested U2OS cells that normally over-duplicate their centrioles (Figure S2A). Collectively, these results suggest that the balance between the Cep135 isoforms is important for the normal homeostasis of centriole numbers and that Cep135mini counteracts Cep135full function in promoting centriole duplication.

Cep135mini expression limits the centriolar levels of essential assembly factors

The negative effect of Cep135mini on centriole duplication led us to ask whether Cep135mini disrupts the ability of Cep135full to promote centriole duplication. A simple explanation is that Cep135mini functions as a dominant negative molecule to remove Cep135full from the centriole. Over expression of either Cep135 isoform does not disrupt the localization of the other (Figure S3A) suggesting that Cep135full is able to localize to centrioles even when Cep135mini levels are high.

An alternative possibility is that over expressed Cep135mini disrupts centriole duplication by binding to Cep135full and precluding its association with its binding partners (SAS-6 and CPAP). To explore the potential interaction between the Cep135 isoforms, we took advantage of the ectopic cytoplasmic foci that Cep135 forms upon over expression [21, 27]. Such foci are presumably the result of oligomerization of Cep135 protein. When both isoforms are expressed in RPE1 cells, ectopic foci that are not associated with centrosomes contain both Cep135full and Cep135mini. This suggests that Cep135mini is competent to associate with Cep135full (Figure S3B).

We next asked whether Cep135mini affects the localization of Cep135full binding proteins that function in centriole duplication (SAS-6 and CPAP). SAS-6 dependent cartwheel assembly initiates centriole biogenesis [12, 2830]. Over expression of Cep135full and Cep135mini decreases SAS-6 levels at centrioles by 48% and 44%, respectively (Figure 3A). The reduced SAS-6 levels are consistent with the loss of SAS-6 from centrioles in Chlamydomonas bld10 (Cep135) mutants and suggests that the interplay between SAS-6 and Cep135full is important for new centriole biogenesis [21, 22]. Overexpressed Cep135full protein binds SAS-6 and might sequester SAS-6 from the centriole (Figure S3C). In contrast, we speculate that Cep135mini, which only weakly and variably interacts with SAS-6, promotes a cartwheel conformation that disrupts SAS-6 localization to the centriole (Figure S3C). We next assessed whether the centriolar localization of the Cep135full binding protein and centriole duplication factor, CPAP, is affected by Cep135 isoform levels [9, 21, 31]. Cep135full over expression modestly reduces centriolar CPAP localization (Figure 3B), which we predict is because expressed Cep135full binds to and sequesters CPAP to the cytoplasm (Figure S3D). Conversely, Cep135mini, which does not interact with CPAP, exhibits a potent inhibitory effect on CPAP localization (Figure S3D). This may allow Cep135mini to selectively inhibit centriole duplication. Collectively, our data suggest that Cep135mini prevents centriole duplication by limiting Cep135full-interacting, centriole assembly factors from associating with the centriole.

Figure 3. Cep135mini expression displaces SAS-6, CPAP, and γ-tubulin from centrioles and centrosomes.

Figure 3

(A) Exogenous Cep135full and Cep135mini expression in S-phase arrested RPE1 cells decreases SAS-6 localization to centrioles. Exogenous Cep135full and Cep135mini expression causes a 48% and 44% decrease in SAS-6 levels, respectively. Upper panels depict SAS-6 (green) in non-transfected cells and lower panels show SAS-6 in Cep135mini transfected cells. Centrin (red) levels were not affected by expression of either protein. (B) Cep135mini expression in S-phase arrested RPE1 cells decreases CPAP localization to centrioles. Cep135mini expression causes a 90% decrease in CPAP levels. Cep135full expression causes an intermediate 43% decrease in CPAP levels. Upper panels depict CPAP (green) in non-transfected cells and lower panels show CPAP in Cep135mini transfected cells. (C) Exogenous Cep135mini, but not Cep135full, expression in cycling RPE1 cells causes a 52% decrease in γ-tubulin levels. Upper panels depict γ-tubulin (green) in non-transfected cells and lower panels show γ-tubulin in Cep135mini transfected cells. (A–C) Mean±SEM represents at least three separate experiments. Scale bar, 1 μm.

The PCM network of proteins surrounding centrioles is organized into distinct functional domains [3235]. The PCM is required for centriole biogenesis and CPAP is important for PCM organization [28, 3638]. The PCM establishes a nucleation domain from which nascent centrioles are built, beginning with the cartwheel [3235]. Over expression of Cep135mini, but not Cep135full, causes a 56% decrease in γ-tubulin from the PCM (Figure 3C). Thus, Cep135mini over expression causes loss of both centriolar (SAS-6 and CPAP) and PCM (γ-tubulin) components suggesting that it regulates multiple facets of centriole and centrosome biogenesis.

Cep135 isoforms localize in a cell cycle dependent manner

The antagonistic functions of the Cep135 isoforms suggests that their centriolar levels and localization are modulated through the cell cycle to promote centriole assembly only during G1/S-phase of the cell cycle. To test this, we staged cycling cells and examined the centriolar level of the Cep135 isoforms. Cep135full levels are high during centriole duplication at the G1/S-phase boundary (Figure 4A). Effectively one half of the total Cep135full protein is predicted to be associated with each G1 centriole or new centriole pair following S-phase. These levels increase by 15% through metaphase of mitosis (Figure 4A) and then increase further (11%) by telophase (Figure 4C). Consistent with a role for Cep135mini in repressing centriole assembly, Cep135mini protein levels are lowest during G1/S when centrioles duplicate. After centriole duplication, the centriolar levels of Cep135mini increase and peak at metaphase of mitosis. Because Cep135mini over expression decreases γ-tubulin levels at the centrosome (Figure 3C), the high mitotic Cep135mini levels are inconsistent with the high γ-tubulin levels found at mitotic centrosomes [39]. Perhaps the Cep135mini over expression results represents non-physiological Cep135mini activity. Alternatively, Cep135mini may normally control γ-tubulin recruitment to the centrosome. In summary, at G1/S, Cep135full levels are high and Cep135mini levels are low to promote new centriole biogenesis while Cep135mini increases through the remainder of the cell cycle until metaphase, perhaps to repress promiscuous centriole duplication and PCM expansion.

Figure 4. Cep135mini levels are controlled through the cell cycle.

Figure 4

(A) Cep135full (green) and Cep135mini (cyan) exhibit differential protein levels at centrioles and centrosomes through the cell cycle. Normalized fluorescence levels were quantified per centrosome (single G1 centriole or S phase, G2, or M centriole pair. The fluorescence of the two G1 centrioles and four S-phase centrioles (two centriole pairs) was normalized by halving the total fluorescence. Mean±SEM represents three separate experiments of >20 cells per condition. (B) Cep135full (α-Cep135full, green) and Cep135mini (Alexa488 labeled α-Cep135mini, cyan) exhibit distinct and dynamic localization relative to centrioles (Centrin, red). Scale bar, 1 μm.

Mean±SEM of three separate experiments of >20 cells per condition. (D) Model of Cep135 isoform regulation of centriole duplication.

Centrin localizes to the distal end of centrioles, allowing us to determine the sub-centrosomal localization of the Cep135 isoforms during the cell cycle (Figures 4B and S4C; [40]). As expected, Cep135full localizes at the proximal end of the two centrioles during G1 and at the mother centrioles during S-phase. Consistent with previous reports, Cep135full is not detectable at daughter centrioles until G2 [35]. Maturation of the daughter centriole is accompanied by a slow accumulation of Cep135full so that protein levels are once again high by the G1/S-phase boundary of the following cell cycle. Additionally, we propose that Cep135full at the mother centriole is important for nucleation of the daughter centriole as is shown for SAS-6 [41, 42].

Unlike Cep135full, Cep135mini localizes to the proximal end of the centriole during G1 and, upon progression into the cell cycle, becomes increasingly associated with the PCM (Figures 4B and S4D–F). This redistribution of Cep135mini to the PCM may position Cep135mini to suppress Cep135full-dependent centriole biogenesis by limiting Cep135full’s association with its binding partners. However, the function of the unique localization between the two Cep135 isoforms remains to be discovered. Upon transit from metaphase into the subsequent G1, Cep135mini levels drop. Consistent with the Cep135mini protein decrease, Cep135mini transcript levels also decrease during mitosis (Figure S4A). We suggest this decrease permits centriole assembly.

Conclusions

We discovered a Cep135 splice isoform, Cep135mini, which limits centriole duplication (Figure 4D). Cep135mini is a centrosome localized protein whose levels are regulated through the cell cycle and play an inhibitory role in centriole assembly. Following centriole duplication, Cep135mini levels accumulate to restrict centriole duplication. By surrounding the Cep135full-containing mother centriole, Cep135mini might block the assembly of new centrioles by limiting the ability of SAS-6, CPAP, and the PCM (γ-tubulin) to promote centriole biogenesis. The negative regulation of centriole duplication by a splice isoform of a protein that normally promotes it is a potent and novel mechanism to limit centriole duplication.
