Summary

Correct bioriented attachment of sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle is essential for chromosome segregation. In budding yeast, the conserved protein shugoshin (Sgo1) contributes to biorientation by recruiting the protein phosphatase PP2A-Rts1 and the condensin complex to centromeres. Using peptide prints, we identified a Serine-Rich Motif (SRM) of Sgo1 that mediates the interaction with condensin and is essential for centromeric condensin recruitment and the establishment of biorientation. We show that the interaction is regulated via phosphorylation within the SRM and we determined the phospho-sites using mass spectrometry. Analysis of the phosphomimic and phosphoresistant mutants revealed that SRM phosphorylation disrupts the shugoshin–condensin interaction. We present evidence that Mps1, a central kinase in the spindle assembly checkpoint, directly phosphorylates Sgo1 within the SRM to regulate the interaction with condensin and thereby condensin localization to centromeres. Our findings identify novel mechanisms that control shugoshin activity at the centromere in budding yeast.

Introduction

Biorientation of sister chromatids relies on two major processes. First, spindle and kinetochore geometry facilitates the capture of sister kinetochores (KT) by microtubules (MTs) emanating from the opposite spindle poles [1,2]. Second, destabilization of incorrect, tension-less interactions between KTs and MTs allows error correction [3], while the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) holds the progress through mitosis until bioriented sister kinetochore attachments are achieved [4]. Several proteins, whose activity must be tightly regulated and coordinated, are required for these processes. Among these proteins are so-called shugoshins, a family of proteins containing two conserved domains with an important function in establishment of biorientation in mitosis and meiosis [5]. A body of evidence determined shugoshins as protectors of centromeric cohesion from separase cleavage during meiosis (e.g. [6]). Shugoshins also prevent cohesion loss at the centromere during mammalian mitosis, although via a distinct mechanism that affects the prophase pathway [7]. These activities are carried out through the recruitment of a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A-Rts1 in budding yeast, PP2A-B56 in mammalian cells) that reduces cohesin removal via its dephosphorylation [8]. Shugoshin proteins also recruit additional proteins to the centromeres, such as the chromosome passenger complex (CPC), MCAK (mitotic centromere-associated kinesin)/Kif2A kinesin motor, and condensin [5]. The activity of shugoshins thereby facilitates centromeric conformation, establishment of biorientation, tension sensing and correction of aberrant MT-KT attachments.

Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes one Sgo1 variant. As in other species, Sgo1 localizes to the centromeric chromatin by binding to histone H2A phosphorylated on serine 121 (T120 in human) by the SAC kinase Bub1 [9]. This interaction is mediated by a basic region, one of the two conserved regions of shugoshin proteins (Fig 1A). Mps1, a central kinase in the SAC, is also required for the localization of shugoshin to the pericentromere in budding yeast [10]. The interaction between Rts1, the regulatory subunit of PP2A, and Sgo1 is essential for the majority of known Sgo1 functions. Mutational analysis determined a region within the N-terminal coiled-coil domain of Sgo1 that is weakly conserved among species and mediates the interaction with Rts1 [8,1114]. Sgo1 also contains an unusual D-box-related sequence motif near its C-terminus that directs its APC/cyclosome dependent degradation at the end of anaphase (Fig 1A) [13]. Another function of Sgo1 is to maintain centromeric enrichment of Ipl1/Aurora B, the kinase subunit of the CPC [9,12,14,15], although the specific region of Sgo1 that is required for this function remains enigmatic. Additionally, Sgo1 recruits condensin to the budding yeast centromere [14,16]. There is only limited understanding of the nature of the interaction between shugoshin and condensin and its regulation. The Sgo1-condensin interaction is not dependent on DNA, suggesting that complex formation between Sgo1 and condensin does not require association with chromatin [16]. Therefore, we hypothesized that there is a direct interaction between Sgo1 and subunits of the multi-subunit complex condensin. Moreover, given the importance of condensin localization to the kinetochore for correct chromosome segregation, the Sgo1-condensin interaction might be regulated, for example by spindle assembly checkpoint kinases.

To uncover how Sgo1 recruits condensin to the centromeric region, we identified a region within Sgo1 that is essential for interaction with condensin in vitro. We demonstrate that a loss of the interaction motif impairs localization of condensin to the centromeres in vivo. The Sgo1 mutations that fail to recruit condensin to the centromeres also negatively affect sister chromatid biorientation and segregation. Finally, we determine that the interaction of Sgo1 with condensin is phosphoregulated. Based on our results we propose that, in budding yeast, tightly regulated presence of condensin on centromeres is essential for correct chromosome segregation and is mediated via its interaction with Sgo1.

Results

Identification of the condensin-interacting region within Sgo1

To identify the regions responsible for the Sgo1 –condensin interactions, we prepared a peptide array of 15 amino acid peptides with four amino acids phase shifts covering the full length of Sgo1. The membrane with the spotted peptide array was then incubated with the condensin complex that was purified via the Smc2-TEV-HaloTag-TwinStrep tag from budding yeast (Fig 1B). Condensin that bound to Sgo1 peptides was detected by far western via immunoblotting with an anti-V5 antibody that recognizes Smc4-V5-His6. We identified two putative regions of interaction between Sgo1 and condensin complex (Fig 1C). To validate the results, we repeated the peptide print specifically for the identified regions at a higher resolution. As a control, we performed identical far western using the same purification procedure, but from an untagged yeast strain (S1A Fig). This experiment confirmed the interaction of purified condensin with the Sgo1 peptides that covered an area from 137 to 163 amino acid (L137KRTSSRSRSCSLSSPTYSKSYTRLSN163) (Fig 1D). To reflect its amino acid composition, we named this area Serine-Rich Motif (SRM). Other regions were not confirmed to interact with condensin in the secondary analysis (S1B Fig).

To further corroborate the interaction, GST-fused Sgo1 and its mutants purified from E. coli (S1C Fig) were used in pull down experiments to determine the interaction with condensin as well as with Rts1, the regulatory subunit of the phosphatase PP2A that binds the coiled-coil domain of Sgo1. We found that the full length Sgo1-GST pulls down Ycg1-3FLAG and Smc2-6HA, two subunits of the condensin complex, and Rts1-9Myc, as previously observed (Fig 1E). Deletion of the SRM (aa 137–163) significantly reduced the interaction with condensin subunits (Fig 1E). The Serine-Rich Motif alone as well as a larger fragment of Sgo1 containing SRM (101–200 aa) was not sufficient to pull down condensin subunits, while the N-terminal region of Sgo1, amino acids 1–163, interacted with both condensin and Rts1 (Fig 1F). We found that Sgo1 N51I mutant that cannot bind Rts1 maintains its ability to interact with condensin (Fig 1F). Taken together, we have identified a region of Sgo1 137LKRTSSRSRSCSLSSPTYSKSYTRLSN163 that is required for condensin binding. The identified serine-rich motif (SRM) is essential, but not sufficient for the interaction. The N-terminus of Sgo1 contains an extensive coiled-coil domain (aa 40–84) that is required for Sgo1 dimerization [11]. We found that only the Sgo1 fragments comprising this coiled-coil domain can interact with condensin in a pull-down assay. This is consistent with the notion that homodimerization of Sgo1 is a prerequisite of binding to condensin. In contrast, mutant Sgo1 that cannot bind PP2A-Rts1 remains positive for condensin binding in vitro. Thus, the serine-rich motif (SRM) in the N-terminal region of Sgo1 presents a novel functional domain of Sgo1 protein.

SRM is required for correct chromosome segregation and condensin localization to the centromere

To determine whether the SRM region functions in chromosome segregation, we created a series of deletions of different sizes around the SRM and used the constructs to replace the endogenous SGO1 allele in haploid yeasts (Fig 2A). All mutants that lacked the SRM became sensitive to the microtubule depolymerizing drug benomyl to a similar degree as a strain lacking Sgo1. Additionally, all strains lacking the SRM were highly sensitive to the Cik1-cc overexpression that triggers formation of syntelic microtubule–kinetochore attachments at a high frequency [17]. In contrast, a deletion of amino acids 201–310 did not affect the growth of yeast in the presence of benomyl or upon overexpression of Cik1-cc (Fig 2B). While most of these deletion mutants exhibit similar expression levels compared to full length Sgo1, the deletions of amino acids 101–250 and 101–310 show striking 3- to 5-fold increased abundance relative to the full length Sgo1 (Fig 2C and 2D), suggesting a function of these regions in Sgo1 stability (see below). Additionally, loss of the SRM increased chromosome missegregation as monitored by segregation of chromosome IV carrying a tetO array and labeled with TetR-GFP (S2A Fig). The mutants lacking the SRM were also not able to maintain the SAC activation and cell cycle arrest in the absence of tension on KTs that was generated by induced loss of sister chromatid cohesion (S2B Fig). This together demonstrates that the SRM region is required for correct chromosome segregation and centromeric functions as well as for a functional SAC in response to the lack of tension.

If SRM mediates the interaction of Sgo1 with the condensin complex, then its deletion should reduce the accumulation of condensin on centromeres. First, we used spinning disc confocal microscopy to determine whether the mutant Sgo1-GFP lacking the SRM localizes to the centromeres. Indeed, the Sgo1 Δ101–301 lacking the SRM localizes between the two spindle poles similarly as wt Sgo1-GFP. This is in a striking contrast to Sgo1 T379D mutant that carries a mutation in the basic region that is responsible for the interaction with the phosphorylated H2A (Fig 2E). The correct localization of the Sgo1 lacking SRM is further confirmed by the fact that Rts1 localizes to the centromeres in strains carrying the sgo1 Δ101–310 mutation as efficiently as in the wild type strains (Fig 2F). Sgo1 also mediates correct localization of Ipl1, the catalytic subunit of the chromosome passenger complex (CPC), to the centromeres. Deletion of SRM or Δ101–301 did not considerably affect the Ipl1 localization (S2C and S2D Fig). In contrast, the fraction of mitotic cells with condensin subunits Smc2-GFP and Brn1-GFP localized to the centromeric region as well as their mean intensities were reduced in yeast strains carrying the sgo1 Δ101–301 or sgo1 Δ137–163 mutations (Fig 2G–2I).The localization of condensin to the rDNA that is observed in budding yeast was not affected by the mutation in the SRM (see below), confirming that the Sgo1-condensin interactions serves only for the enrichment of condensin to centromeres.

Localization of PP2A and condensin to the centromere are key functions of shugoshin

The evidence so far suggests that Sgo1 serves as a platform for recruitment of Rts1-PP2A and condensin to the centromere. We asked whether these functions were sufficient to complement the mitotic phenotype of sgo1Δ strain. To this end, we created the “Sgo1-mini” protein that consists of the coiled-coil region required for its dimerization and interaction with Rts1 (aa 44–84), the SRM important for the recruitment of condensin (aa 137–163) and the H2A-binding motif within the basic region that ensures localization of Sgo1 to the centromere (aa 364–391). The functional motifs were joined with linkers of 10 amino acids of random sequence. Additionally, we added the C-terminal SV40 nuclear localization signal (NLS) that was previously used to guide Sgo1 to the nucleus (Fig 3A)[18]. The construct “sgo1-mini” was further fused with eGFP and integrated at the endogenous locus under the control of the Sgo1 promoter. Live cell imaging revealed that Sgo1-mini shows nuclear localization in the vicinity of the spindle pole bodies, although the localization is impaired in comparison to the wild type (Fig 3B). To test whether Sgo1-mini maintains the ability to interact with the PP2A-Rts1 and condensin, a GST-tagged version of Sgo1-mini was over-expressed and purified from Escherichia coli BL-21 cells (S2E Fig) for a GST-pulldown assay and incubated with yeast extracts. This showed that Sgo1-mini interacted with Rts1 and with the condensin subunits Ycg1 and Smc2, although weaker than the full length Sgo1 (Fig 3C). Remarkably, Sgo1-mini partially rescued the growth defects of sgo1Δ cells on benomyl plates as well as the sensitivity of sgo1Δ cells to high levels of syntelic attachments caused by Cik1-cc overexpression (Fig 3D). We created series of mutants impairing the key functions of Sgo1: An equivalent of the N51I mutation that abolishes the interaction with Rts1, and the T379D mutation that impairs centromeric localization of Sgo1. All these mutations completely abolished the ability of Sgo1-mini to rescue yeast growth under conditions inducing frequent chromosome missegregation, while exhibiting similar expression level (Fig 3D–3F). Thus, recruitment of the condensin and PP2A to the pericentric region of yeast chromosomes are among the key functions of Sgo1 in mitosis.

Phosphoregulation of the Sgo1 and condensin interaction

The identified SRM that is required for the Sgo1-condensin interaction is rich in residues that can be modified by phosphorylation. Since yeast Sgo1 is readily phosphorylated (S3A and S3B Fig), we asked whether its phosphorylation affects the interaction. Indeed, condensin pulldown from cells harboring sgo1-N51I shows diminished interaction with sgo1 (Fig 4A and [14]), supporting the idea that PP2A-Rts1 phosphatase activity is required for the Sgo1-condensin interaction. This is also in agreement with our previous finding that centromeric localization of condensin was lost in sgo1-N51I mutant yeasts [14]. To further examine whether the Sgo1 pool that engages condensin at centromeres is in its non-phosphorylated form, we isolated the condensin-bound and the condensin-unbound fractions of Sgo1. The fractions were resolved by PhostagTM SDS- PAGE to explore their phosphorylation pattern. While the majority of the Sgo1 input and the condensin-unbound Sgo1 appeared to be extensively phosphorylated based on a slow migration in the gel, the condensin-bound Sgo1 exhibited faster migration (Fig 4B).

Next, we asked whether phosphomimetic or phosphoresistant mutations within the SRM affect the function of Sgo1. While mutation of all S and T sites to phosphoresistant alanine (sgo1-13A) did not affect the sensitivity of yeast cells to benomyl, the strain carrying phosphomimetic mutations (sgo1-13E) was highly sensitive to benomyl (Fig 4C). This was not because of defective Sgo1 localization, as both mutants localized similarly as the wild type protein (Fig 4D and 4F) and were expressed to the same level (S3C Fig). Strikingly, the sgo1-13E failed to interact with condensin in a pulldown experiment and the localization of condensin to the centromere was significantly impaired, while the phosphoresistant mutant showed no discernible phenotype (Fig 4E–4G). Based on these findings, we conclude that the SRM of Sgo1 bound to condensin is largely unphosphorylated and that PP2A-Rts1 modulates the phosphorylation state.

To determine whether there are individual sites within the SRM responsible for the phosphoregulation, we performed mass spectrometry of Sgo1 purified from yeast cells arrested in mitosis by the spindle poison nocodazole. This analysis revealed multiple potential phosphorylation sites, among them three sites located within the SRM region, namely S148, S151 and T159, an S421/423 site, and three sites, S487, S518 and S522 near the destruction box (Fig 5A). To evaluate the function of these sites in chromosome segregation, we constructed a series of yeast strains containing single mutations or their combinations either to phosphoresistant variants with the S/T residues changed to A, or to phosphomimic variants with the S/T residues changed to E. Phosphomimic and phosphoresistant mutants of Sgo1 on S421 alone or combined with S423 showed only subtle changes in sensitivity to benomyl or Cik1-cc overexpression and were not further evaluated. Mutation of all three sites near the destruction box affected the stability of the Sgo1 protein, but did not alter its localization or localization of condensin, nor changed the cellular sensitivity to benomyl (S3D–S3H Fig). This is in line with the previous findings that chromosome segregation in budding yeast mitosis is not substantially affected by minor changes in the abundance of Sgo1 [13].

Next, we focused on the sites identified within the SRM. Analysis of the phosphoresistant mutants of the sites S148A, S151A and T159A or their combination showed no discernible phenotypes on plates containing benomyl (Fig 5B). In contrast, the phosphomimic S151E and T159E markedly increased the sensitivity of yeasts to benomyl, while mutation of S148 did not affect the phenotype (Fig 5B). Next, we asked whether the mutations of the phosphosites affects the localization of condensin subunits to the centromeric regions. To this end, we analyzed Smc2-GFP localization in Sgo1 phosphomimetic and phosphoresistant mutants. Indeed, Smc2-GFP was mislocalized in a significant fraction of the cells carrying the sgo1 T159E mutation and, to a lesser extent, in sgo1 S151E mutant (Fig 5C and 5D). In contrast, the SMC2-GFP localization was not discernably altered in the phosphoresistant mutants compared to the wild type Sgo1 (Fig 5C and 5D). Finally, we tested the interaction between Sgo1 mutants and condensin subunits in a pull down experiment. This experiment revealed that the T159E mutation decreased the ability of Sgo1 to interact with the Smc2-GFP subunit of condensin (Fig 5E). The interaction between Sgo1 T151E and Smc2-GFP was also partially diminished, although to a lesser extent, reflecting the changes observed in condensin localization (compare Fig 5C–5E). Importantly, none of these mutations affected the localization of Sgo1 (S3I Fig). Based on these results we conclude that the interaction of Sgo1 with condensin is regulated by phosphorylation of the SRM region on the S151 and T159 residues.

Mps1 regulates the Sgo1-condensin interaction through SRM phosphorylation

An open question remains what kinase phosphorylates Sgo1 in the SRM region. We monitored the phosphorylation status of Sgo1 in vivo in yeast strains carrying deletions, temperature sensitive or analog sensitive alleles of mitotic kinases Bub1, Ipl1 and Mps1 that are known to affect the Sgo1 function [10,1921]. While we did not observe any striking changes in the phosphorylation pattern of Sgo1 in the absence of Bub1 or Ipl1 kinase activity, we noticed a loss of phosphorylation upon Mps1 inhibition with no significant effect on Sgo1 protein levels. This reinforces the hypothesis that Mps1 derived phosphorylation of Sgo1 regulates condensin binding rather than protein turnover (S4A–S4F Fig). Therefore, we asked whether Mps1 kinase can phosphorylate Sgo1. By in vitro kinase assay we determined that Mps1-GST purified from E. coli phosphorylates purified GST-Sgo1 and Sgo1-S148A, while phosphorylation signal was dramatically lost in the mutant Sgo1-T159A (Fig 5F). Additionally, by immunoprecipitation experiments we determined that in budding yeast Sgo1 interacts with the Mps1 kinase. This interaction is dependent on the Mps1 kinase activity, as inhibition of the kinase activity of Mps1-as [22] by adding the ATP analog 1NM-PP1 weakened the interaction (Fig 5G). Taken together, our data suggest that Sgo1 is directly phosphorylated by Mps1 and this phosphorylation negatively affects the Sgo1-condensin interaction.

Discussion

Novel motif within Sgo1 is required for the Sgo1- condensin interaction

Shugoshin proteins have an important role in establishing biorientation during mitosis and meiosis that is executed via coordinated interaction with several proteins at the centromere and the pericentric regions of chromosomes. In budding yeast, Sgo1 also facilitates centromeric localization of condensin and this localization is essential for correct biorientation of sister chromatids [14,16]. This is likely due to the function of condensin, together with cohesin, in establishing the spatial configuration of the pericentric chromatin [23]. By identification of the condensin-interacting region within Sgo1, we were able to create separation-of-function mutations that allowed us to study the consequences of the lack of Sgo1-condensin interaction separately from other Sgo1 functions. Our findings demonstrate that the pericentric enrichment of condensin is mediated by a Serine-Rich Motif of Sgo1 and required for correct chromosome segregation. Chromosome condensation is also essential for spatial organization and successful partitioning of metaphase chromosomes. Our results further emphasize the importance of Sgo1 for this processes highlighted by recent findings that Sgo1 is required for chromosome condensation [24]. Interestingly, PP2A-Rts1 inhibits the function of Sgo1 in chromosome condensation [24], which is opposite to our finding that PP2A-Rts1 is important for Sgo1-condensin interaction. This suggests that centromeric condensation is regulated differently than the condensation of chromosome arms and further analysis will be required to understand the differences in these events.

Our data show that the newly identified Serine-Rich Motif of Sgo1 is required for the interaction with condensin and for its localization to the centromeres, while condensin localization to rDNA remains unaffected (Figs 2G and 4G and S3E). It should be noted that the localization of the condensin at the centromere, while severally impaired, is not completely abolished in the SRM deletion and the 13E mutant. This suggests that there might be another binding site within Sgo1 that was missed in our analysis. For example, the peptide array would not identify interacting domains that are larger than 15 amino acids, or that rely on the tertiary structure of Sgo1. Mutations of Sgo1 that reduce the centromeric localization of condensin lead to defects in chromosome segregation and in error correction, and this defect is comparable to a defect observed upon loss of sgo1 (Figs 2B and S2A and S2B). However, we cannot exclude that the loss of SRM affects the interaction of Sgo1 with other proteins or impairs their activity. Although the lack of SRM does not appear to affect the localization of Ipl1-GFP, it should be noted that even subtle changes in CPC localization, with its catalytically active Ipl1 subunit may affect chromosome segregation. Taken together, our current results suggest that the main defect in the SRM is the condensin mislocalization. We propose that the correct condensin localization, mediated by its interaction with Sgo1, is required for tension sensing on the MT-KT attachment, most likely via maintaining the spring-like structure of pericentric chromatin that was proposed to contribute to the spindle function [23,25].

Mps1 phosporylates Sgo1 to regulate the Sgo1-condensin interaction

Phosphoregulation of the Sgo1-condensin interaction could explain how Sgo1 can facilitate both recruitment of condensin to the centromere in metaphase [14,16] as well as the spreading of the condensation signal to the chromosome arms in late metaphase [24]. Here we demonstrate that Sgo1 interacts with condensin only when the SRM remains unphosphorylated (Fig 4). This unphosphorylated state can be achieved by active dephosphorylation, for example by the interacting phosphatase PP2A [11]. In this scenario, PP2A dephosphorylates the SRM within Sgo1, thereby regulating the Sgo1-condensin interaction. Indeed, previous data showed that PP2A-Rts1 is crucial for Sgo1-condensin interaction and localization [14,16]; and this work). However, shugoshins have not been identified as putative substrates in the previous studies of PP2A targets [26,27]. Another possibility is that binding of Sgo1 to condensin or to PP2A protects the SRM from phosphorylation.

An important question arising from our results was the identity of the kinase that phosphorylates the SRM of Sgo1. Using an in vitro kinase assay and in vivo pull down, we show that the conserved SAC kinase Mps1 interacts with Sgo1 and phosphorylates this protein. Moreover, mass spectrometry determined phosphosites within the SRM that were sensitive to the Mps1 activity. This is in agreement with previous studies that suggested that Mps1 kinase directly or indirectly affects the function of Sgo1 [10,21]. We propose that the phosphorylation of Sgo1 by Mps1 might be essential for the release of the condensin load to free the Sgo1 platform to acquire new cargo. In this model, both PP2A-Rts1 and Mps1 fine-tune Sgo1 function and modulate recruitment of proteins required for biorentation. While PP2A phosphatase activity safeguards the efficient Sgo1-condensin interaction, Mps1 kinase activity is required to release the condensin load. We further suggest that the interaction between Sgo1 and condensin on yeast centromeres persists during mitosis until it becomes disrupted by phosphorylation. Our hypothetical model is that the SRM cannot be phosphorylated when bound to condensin for steric reasons or due to the PP2A-Rts1 mediated dephosphorylation. This model envisions a biorientation machinery where PP2A-Rts1 protection counteracts Mps1 mediated phosphorylation of Sgo1 SRM to orchestrate dynamic condensin loading on the centromere that is essential to create biorientation. Increasing tension on the kinetochore and pericentric chromatin may then lead to chromatin stretching, which allows phosphorylation of the SRM. The phosphorylation would then disable the Sgo1-condensin interaction upon successful biorientation and might coincide with the metaphase-to-anaphase transition and Sgo1 removal from centromeres.

Yeast protein extraction for a GST-pulldown

Exponentially growing yeast cells were harvested, washed with cold PBS, and 300 μl yeast lysis buffer was added and resuspended completely. The tube was filled with 0.5 mm ZIRCONIA/SILICA beads (Biospec) and processed in a bead-beater 6x for 1 min and 30 Hz, with a 5 min break in between each beating. The tubes were pierced, placed in a falcon tube and spun down for 2 min at 1000 rpm. The lysate was transferred to a fresh tube, 30 μl NP-40 (10% stock) was added, rotated for 30 min at 4°C and centrifuged for 5 min at 4°C and 5000 rpm. The supernatant was transferred to a fresh tube.

GST-protein purification from Escherichia coli and pull down

IPTG-induced E. coli cells were resuspended in 40 ml GST lysis buffer, lysed with high pressure (40 mBar) using the Emulsiflex-C3 (Avestin). 50 μl lysate was mixed with 50 μl 4x Laemmli buffer as a control sample. 2 mM MgCl2, 40 μl Pefabloc (100x) and 4 μl Benzonase were added to the lysate and incubated on ice for 15 min. The lysate was then centrifuged 20 min at 15 000 rpm, 4°C. 1ml pre-washed GST beads (Glutathione-Sepharose 4 Fast Flow HE) were added to the cleaned supernatant and incubated for 2 hours at 4°C on a rotator wheel. The mixture was washed 20x with 20 ml GST washing buffer on a disposable column (QIAGEN). The GST-fused protein was eluted with 1 ml GST elution buffer and the eluted sample was dialyzed overnight at 4°C in 2 l 1x PBS in a Slide-A-Lyzer Dialysis Cassette G2 10 000 MWCO (Thermo Scientific).

100 μl PierceTM Glutathione Magnetic Beads (Thermo Scientific) and 100 μg protein in 500 μl 1x PBS were mixed and rotated for 1 h at 4°C, followed with 3x washing with 600 μl GST washing/binding buffer 10 min and 2x with yeast lysis buffer (5 min). Yeast lysate was added to the beads and rotated for 2 h at 4°C. The protein lysate was removed and the beads were washed 2x for 5 min with Washing buffer 1 and 1x for 5 min with Washing buffer 2. The proteins were eluted with 50 μl elution buffer and mixed with 50 μl 4x Laemmli buffer. Samples and the beads were boiled for 5 min at 96°C.

In vivo interaction assay

The experiments were performed as previously described [14].

GFP Pulldown

Approximately 100 OD600 of log-phase cells grown exponentially in YPD were harvested and washed twice with water then lysed by beating with 0.5-mm-diameter glass beads (Sigma-Aldrich) and ice cold, freshly prepared native lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.5% Triton X-100, 200 mM NaCl, 1X protease inhibitor mix, 1 mM 1,10 phenanthroline, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM iodoacetamide). To pulldown GFP-tagged proteins, lysates were incubated for 2 hours at 4°C with 25 μL GFP-Trap coupled agarose beads (Chromotek). After incubation, the agarose beads were washed three times in lysis buffer before samples were eluted with 2X SDS sample buffer. Nitrocellulose membranes were probed with rat anti-GFP (3H9, Chromotek, 1:2,500), PAP (Sigma-Aldrich, 1: 2,500), and mouse anti-HA (Y-11, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:2,500) primary antibodies.

Phos-tagTM SDS-PAGE

Phospho-affinity gel electrophoresis was performed using Phos-tag acrylamide 7.5% (w/v) running gels polymerized with 50 μM Phos-tag acrylamide (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) and 100 μM MnCl2. Gel running and transfer conditions were optimized according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Fluorescence microscopy

Exponentially growing yeast cells were imaged by a fully automated Zeiss inverted microscope (AxioObserver Z1) equipped with a MS-2000 stage (Applied Scientific Instrumentation, USA), the CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal head (Yokogawa, Herrsching), LaserStack Launch with selectable laser lines (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, USA) and an X-CITE Fluorescent Illumination System. Images were captured using a CoolSnap HQ camera (Roper Scientific, Canada) under the control of the Slidebook software (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, USA). The fluorescence signal was imaged with a 63x oil objective by using a 473 nm or 561 nm laser. A total of 10 z-stacks were collected at 0.5 μm optical sections. Visual inspection was performed for considering “positive” centromeric signal. Intensity of the centromeric signal was evaluated by signal intensity on line connecting the two SPBs normalized to the the intensity of the average nuclear signal. At least 100 cells were evaluated in each experiments; three independent biological experiments were performed. The V plots showing signal localization at increasing interkinetochore distance were generated from line scans across preanaphase spindles of single cells assembled from 100 images as in [12].

Condensin purification

Condensin was purified from yeast strain YSG0168 (Mata, Smc2-TEVs-HaloTag-TwinStrep::HIS3, Smc4-V5-His6::TRP1). An over-night culture in YPAD medium was inoculated from a single colony. Cells were diluted into 2 L of fresh medium to an OD600 of 0.2. Nocodazole (5 μg/mL final) was added at an OD600 of 0.8. After 1.5 hours of incubation, cells (~12 g) were harvested, washed with PBS twice, resuspended in 12 ml of lysis buffer (150 mM Na phosphate pH 8.0 in 1x PBS, 1x protease inhibitor cocktail (PIC, Sigma)), and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen cell suspension was crushed in a swing-mill set to 30 Hz for 3 minutes. After thawing the samples on ice, the cleared supernatant was loaded on 2x 400 μl StrepTactin Sepharose (IBA). After washing three times with 2.5 mL of wash buffer (50 mM Na phosphate pH 8.0, 140 mM NaCl, 14 mM mercaptoethanol). Protein was eluted with 3.2 ml PBS containing 2 mM biotin and 1x PIC.

Kinase assay

Active or kinase-dead variants of recombinant GST-yMps1 were incubated with 2 μCi [γ-32P] ATP and recombinant GST-Sgo1 fusions in 30 μl of kinase buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 100 μM ATP). Reactions were incubated at 30° C for 30 min and terminated by addition of Laemmli SDS sample dilution buffer and boiling the samples. Proteins were separated on the pre-cast 12.5% SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen), and phosphorylation was visualized by autoradiography.

Peptide arrays and far western

Sgo1 peptide arrays were synthesized automatically using SPOT technology with the MultiPep instrument from INTAVIS Bioanalytical Instruments AG as previously described [28]. To identify the binding sites of Sgo1 for condensin complex protein, 15-mer peptides with 4-mer shift of Sgo1 were synthesized on a membrane. The peptide array membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk in TBST for 1 hour at room temperature, then SV5-PK antibody. The membrane was then washed extensively with TBST before the anti-mouse antibody was added. The membrane was incubated with the antibody at room temperature for another 1 hour prior to standard chemiluminescent detection.

Identification of the phosphosites by mass spectrometry

To identify the phosphosites on Sgo1, the TAP-tagged protein was overexpressed from a GAL1 promoter for 180 min followed by treatment with nocodazole for 120 min to arrest the overexpressing cells in mitosis. The protein was purified in presence of phosphatases by calmodulin pulldown, eluted with EGTA and separated by PAGE followed by Coomassie staining. The band corresponding to the expected size of Sgo1-TAP was cut from the gel and subjected to the analysis. Mass spectrometry identification of phosphosites on the isolated protein was performed by Nagarunja Nagaraj at the Mass Spectrometry Core Facility at the MPI Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany, as previously described [29]. The data are in S3 Table.
