Usp39 is essential for mitotic spindle checkpoint integrity and controls mRNA-levels of aurora B

Abstract

Accurate chromosome segregation relies on the mitotic spindle checkpoint. This checkpoint acts to restrict ubiquitin ligase activity of the Anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) in mitosis until all chromosomes are bipolarly attached to the mitotic spindle. We performed a functional RNAi-based screen to identify De-ubiquitinating enzymes (Dubs) involved in mitotic progression. We identified Usp39 as a new factor required to maintain the spindle checkpoint and support successful cytokinesis. Strikingly, although Usp39 clearly contains an ubiquitin-protease domain, we show that Usp39 is entirely deprived of Dub activity. However, consistent wilt a previously described role for Usp39 in mRNA processing, we observed specific reduction in Aurora B-mRNA levels after depletion of Usp39. Although we find that exogenously expressed Aurora B cDNA is not sufficient to rescue the checkpoint defect of Usp39-depleted cells, Aurora B expression is restored. Our observations suggest Usp39 to be involved in splicing of Aurora B and other mRNAs that are essential for proper spindle checkpoint function.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
