Fission yeast myosin I facilitates PI(4,5)P 2 -mediated anchoring of cytoplasmic dynein to the cortex

Abstract: Several key processes in the cell, such as vesicle transport and spindle positioning, are mediated by the motor protein cytoplasmic dynein, which produces force on the microtubule. For the functions that require movement of the centrosome and the associated nuclear material, dynein needs to have a stable attachment at the cell cortex. In fission yeast, Mcp5 is the anchor protein of dynein and is required for the oscillations of the horsetail nucleus during meiotic prophase. Although the role of Mcp5 in anchori… Show more

“…Additionally, when deleting Mcp5 to test its role in mitochondrial tethering, we not only knocked down Mcp5 but also abrogated the oscillations that occur during the meiotic prophase (Saito et al, 2006; Yamashita and Yamamoto, 2006; Thankachan et al, 2017). To delineate the specific role of the oscillations, if any, in facilitating parental mitochondrial segregation, we sought to attenuate the oscillations of the horsetail nucleus while keeping Mcp5 intact.…”

“…In various cell types, spindle positioning involves attachment of the minus end-directed MT motor cytoplasmic dynein to the cell cortex, where it exerts pulling force on astral MTs that emanate from the spindle poles ( di Pietro et al, 2016 ; Kotak and Gönczy, 2013 ; McNally, 2013 ). While proteins involved in anchoring dynein have been identified ( Ananthanarayanan, 2016 ; Couwenbergs et al, 2007 ; Du and Macara, 2004 ; Heil-Chapdelaine et al, 2000 ; Kotak et al, 2012 ; Nguyen-Ngoc et al, 2007 ; Saito et al, 2006 ; Thankachan et al, 2017 ) and the mechanism whereby dynein steps along the MT is becoming elucidated ( DeSantis et al, 2017 ; DeWitt et al, 2015 ; Grotjahn et al, 2018 ; Nicholas et al, 2015 ; Urnavicius et al, 2018 ), how pulling forces are precisely regulated to achieve the appropriate spindle displacement remains incompletely understood.…”
