From the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Tumor Biology
Program, Mayo Clinic Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota 55905 Once during each cell cycle, mitotic spindle poles arise by separation of
newly duplicated centrosomes. We report here the involvement of
phosphorylation of the centrosomal protein centrin in this process.
We show that centrin is phosphorylated at serine residue
170 during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Indirect
immunofluorescence staining of HeLa cells using a
phosphocentrin-specific antibody reveals intense labeling of mitotic
spindle poles during prophase and metaphase of the cell division
cycle, with diminished staining of anaphase and no staining of
telophase and interphase centrosomes. Cultured cells undergo a
dramatic increase in centrin phosphorylation following the
experimental elevation of PKA activity, suggesting that this kinase
can phosphorylate centrin in vivo. Surprisingly, elevated PKA
activity also resulted intense phosphocentrin antibody labeling of
interphase centrosomes and in the concurrent movement of individual
centrioles apart from one another. Taken together, these results
suggest that centrin phosphorylation signals the separation of
centrosomes at prophase and implicates centrin phosphorylation in
centriole separation that normally precedes centrosome
duplication.
