Abstract: | 多細胞生物體中,TLK(tousled-like kinase)是一種保守的絲氨酸/蘇氨酸激酶家族,之前研究顯示,人類的TLK在細胞週期中S期作用於染色質的組成(chromatin assembly),以及果蠅的TLK在M期TLKs作用於染色體的濃縮。最近研究顯示,線蟲TLK-1在轉錄上扮演著重要角色。我們則發現tlk-1 (RNAi)突變體停留在約五十五個細胞時期,並具有大小不一致分怖的細胞核,由於非整倍體表型(aneuploidy)所造成。我們利用GFP 標示tubulin和組蛋白(histone) 的轉殖基因(transgenes),結果顯示tlk-1 (RNAi)突變體在有絲分裂時具有DNA濃縮和分離的缺失。我們另外發現著絲點蛋白(holocentric proteins) HCP-1/CENP-F和HCP-3/CENP-A在tlk-1 (RNAi)突變體的mitotic DNA有著不正常分佈。此外,在yeast two-hybrids實驗中,TLK-1可與HCP-3和HCP-4 /CENP-C結合。我們推論線蟲TLK-1控制HCP-1和HCP-3正確地排列在mitotic染色體的外側 (poleward face),是藉由與HCP-3和HCP-4的結合,進而影響在有絲分裂中染色體的濃縮與分裂。 TLK, tousled-like kinase, is a family of conserved serine/ threonine kinase in multicellular organisms. Previous studies showed that human TLK functions in chromatin assembly at S phase and that Drosophila TLK acts in chromosome condensation at M phase during the cell cycle. Recent studies showed that C.elegans TLK-1 plays an essential role in transcription. We found that tlk-1 (RNAi) mutants arrested at about the 55-cell stage with uneven distribution of small and large nuclei due to aneuploidy. Using GFP to label tubulin and histone, we found that tlk-1 (RNAi) embryos have defects in DNA condensation and segregation during mitosis. We also found that holocentric proteins HCP-1/CENP-F and HCP-3/CENP-A are not properly localized to mitotic DNA in tlk-1 (RNAi) embryos. Furthermore, in the yeast-2 hybrid system TLK-1 interacts with HCP-3 and HCP-4/CENP-C. We propose that TLK-1 controls the proper localization of HCP-3 and HCP-1 to the poleward face of mitotic DNA, likely through direct interaction of TKL-1 with HCP-3 and HCP-4, and thereby functions in chromosome condensation and segregation during mitosis. |
