Abstract:
:Loss of spindle-pole integrity during mitosis leads to multipolarity independent of centrosome amplification. Multipolar-spindle conformation favours incorrect kinetochore-microtubule attachments, compromising faithful chromosome segregation and daughter-cell viability. Spindle-pole organization influences and is influenced by kinetochore activity, but the molecular nature behind this critical force balance is unknown. CLASPs are microtubule-, kinetochore- and centrosome-associated proteins whose functional perturbation leads to three main spindle abnormalities: monopolarity, short spindles and multipolarity. The first two reflect a role at the kinetochore-microtubule interface through interaction with specific kinetochore partners, but how CLASPs prevent spindle multipolarity remains unclear. Here we found that human CLASPs ensure spindle-pole integrity after bipolarization in response to CENP-E- and Kid-mediated forces from misaligned chromosomes. This function is independent of end-on kinetochore-microtubule attachments and involves the recruitment of ninein to residual pericentriolar satellites. Distinctively, multipolarity arising through this mechanism often persists through anaphase. We propose that CLASPs and ninein confer spindle-pole resistance to traction forces exerted during chromosome congression, thereby preventing irreversible spindle multipolarity and aneuploidy.
