Abstract

Centrosomes have a nonrandom localization in the cells: either they occupy the centroid of the zone free of the actomyosin cortex or they are shifted to the edge of the cell, where their presence is justified from a functional point of view, for example, to organize additional microtubules or primary cilia. This review discusses centrosome placement options in cultured and in situ cells. It has been proven that the central arrangement of centrosomes is due mainly to the pulling microtubules forces developed by dynein located on the cell cortex and intracellular vesicles. The pushing forces from dynamic microtubules and actomyosin also contribute, although the molecular mechanisms of their action have not yet been elucidated. Centrosomal displacement is caused by external cues, depending on signaling, and is drawn through the redistribution of dynein, the asymmetrization of microtubules through the capture of their plus ends, and the redistribution of actomyosin, which, in turn, is a...

Centrosome separation: respective role of microtubules and actin filaments
Claude Prigent

Biology of the Cell, 2002

In mammalian cells, the separation of centrosomes is a prerequisite for bipolar mitotic spindle assembly. We have investigated the respective contribution of the two cytoskeleton components, microtubules and actin filaments, in this process. Distances between centrosomes have been measured during cell cycle progression in Xenopus laevis XL2 cultured cells in the presence or absence of either network. We considered two stages in centrosome separation: the splitting stage, when centrosomes start to move apart (minimum distance of 1 µm), and the elongation stage (from 1 to 7 µm). In interphase, depolymerisation of microtubules by nocodazole significantly inhibited the splitting stage, while the elongation stage was, on the contrary, facilitated. In mitosis, while nocodazole treatment completely blocked spindle assembly, in prophase, we observed that 55% of the centrosomes separated, versus 94% in the control. Upon actin depolymerisation by latrunculin, splitting of the interphase centrosome was blocked, and cells entered mitosis with unseparated centrosomes. Cells compensated for this separation delay by increasing the length of both prophase and prometaphase stages to allow for centrosome separation until a minimal distance was reached. Then the cells passed through anaphase, performing proper chromosome separation, but cytokinesis did not occur, and binuclear cells were formed. Our results clearly show that the actin microfilaments participate in centrosome separation at the G2/M transition and work in synergy with the microtubules to accelerate centrosome separation during mitosis.

Role of the centrosome in organizing the interphase microtubule array: properties of cytoplasts containing or lacking centrosomes
eric karsenti

The Journal of cell biology, 1984

To study the role of the centrosome in microtubule organization in interphase cells, we developed a method for obtaining cytoplasts (cells lacking a nucleus) that did or did not contain centrosomes. After drug-induced microtubule depolymerization, cytoplasts with centrosomes made from sparsely plated cells reconstituted a microtubule array typical of normal cells. Under these conditions cytoplasts without centrosomes formed only a few scattered microtubules. This difference in degree of polymerization suggests that centrosomes affect not only the distribution but the amount of microtubules in cells. To our surprise, the extent of microtubules assembled increased with the cell density of the original culture. At confluent density, cytoplasts without centrosomes had many microtubules, equivalent to cytoplasts with centrosomes. The additional microtubules were arranged peripherally and differed from the centrosomal microtubules in their sensitivity to nocodazole. These and other result...

Dynactin Is Required for Microtubule Anchoring at Centrosomes
Mark Eckley

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1999

The multiprotein complex, dynactin, is an integral part of the cytoplasmic dynein motor and is required for dynein-based motility in vitro and in vivo. In living cells, perturbation of the dynein–dynactin interaction profoundly blocks mitotic spindle assembly, and inhibition or depletion of dynein or dynactin from meiotic or mitotic cell extracts prevents microtubules from focusing into spindles. In interphase cells, perturbation of the dynein–dynactin complex is correlated with an inhibition of ER-to-Golgi movement and reorganization of the Golgi apparatus and the endosome–lysosome system, but the effects on microtubule organization have not previously been defined. To explore this question, we overexpressed a variety of dynactin subunits in cultured fibroblasts. Subunits implicated in dynein binding have effects on both microtubule organization and centrosome integrity. Microtubules are reorganized into unfocused arrays. The pericentriolar components, γ tubulin and dynactin, are l...

Effects of dynein on microtubule mechanics and centrosome positioning
Jun Wu

To determine forces on intracellular microtubules, we measured shape changes of individual microtubules following laser severing in bovine capillary endothelial cells. Surprisingly, regions near newly created minus ends increased in curvature following severing, whereas regions near new microtubule plus ends depolymerized without any observable change in shape. With dynein inhibited, regions near severed minus ends straightened rapidly following severing. These observations suggest that dynein exerts a pulling force on the microtubule that buckles the newly created minus end. Moreover, the lack of any observable straightening suggests that dynein prevents lateral motion of microtubules. To explain these results, we developed a model for intracellular microtubule mechanics that predicts the enhanced buckling at the minus end of a severed microtubule. Our results show that microtubule shapes reflect a dynamic force balance in which dynein motor and friction forces dominate elastic forces arising from bending moments. A centrosomal array of microtubules subjected to dynein pulling forces and resisted by dynein friction is predicted to center on the experimentally observed time scale, with or without the pushing forces derived from microtubule buckling at the cell periphery.

Choreography of the centrosome
Maria Alvarado-Kristensson

Heliyon

More than a century ago, the centrosome was discovered and described as "the true division organ of the cell". Electron microscopy revealed that a centrosome is an amorphous structure or pericentriolar protein matrix that surrounds a pair of well-organized centrioles. Today, the importance of the centrosome as a microtubuleorganizing center and coordinator of the mitotic spindle is questioned, because centrioles are absent in up to half of all known eukaryotic species, and various mechanisms for acentrosomal microtubule nucleation have been described. This review recapitulates the known functions of centrosome movements in cellular homeostasis and discusses knowledge gaps in this field.

Microtubule-organizing centers: from the centrosome to non-centrosomal sites
Ariana Sanchez

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2017

The process of cellular differentiation requires the distinct spatial organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton, the arrangement of which is specific to cell type. Microtubule patterning does not occur randomly, but is imparted by distinct subcellular sites called microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs). Since the discovery of MTOCs fifty years ago, their study has largely focused on the centrosome. All animal cells use centrosomes as MTOCs during mitosis. However in many differentiated cells, MTOC function is reassigned to non-centrosomal sites to generate non-radial microtubule organization better suited for new cell functions, such as mechanical support or intracellular transport. Here, we review the current understanding of non-centrosomal MTOCs (ncMTOCs) and the mechanisms by which they form in differentiating animal cells.

Centrosomes: Coiled-Coils Organize the Cell Center
Jeffrey Salisbury

Current Biology, 2003

The centrosome serves as a structural context for cytoplasmic organization. Recent studies on mutants of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans have provided new insight into the framework to which microtubules and key regulators of centrosome behavior are anchored. The centrosome is a fascinating organelle that resides near the cell center-hence its name [1]. It functions in the maintenance of cytoplasmic architecture through the nucleation and organization of microtubule arrays in interphase and mitotic cells. Centrosome defects have been implicated in disease processes, particularly in the origin of mitotic abnormalities and the development of aneuploidy in cancer [2]. In addition to its fundamental role in microtubule organization, the centrosome may also provide an important structural context for coordinating cell-cycle regulation. An understanding of the molecular basis of these diverse cellular functions is beginning to emerge through the careful analysis of centrosome structure and organization in early embryo development and somatic cells. In a recent study which exploited the power of genetics and gene silencing in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, Hamill et al. [3] have shed new light on a class of proteins with multiple coiled-coil domains that provide a scaffold onto which key players in centrosome function are attached. The centrosome consists of a pair of centrioles and a surrounding halo of pericentriolar material that harbors, among other proteins, the γ γ-tubulin protein complexes that nucleate microtubules [4]. In most animals, centrioles are eliminated during oogenesis, while the egg cytoplasm remains enriched for centrosome precursor proteins that are used during early embryonic development. Conversely, during spermatogenesis the sperm centrosome is reduced to its core centrosome components-a pair of centrioles-and, at the time of fertilization, the sperm delivers this stripped-down version of the somatic centrosome and a haploid (pro)nucleus to the egg [5]. In the zygote, the sperm centrioles undergo functional maturation by recruiting egg proteins to form the pericentriolar material of the zygotic centrosome [6,7]. Through this maturation process, the zygotic centrosome acquires the microtubule organizing activity required to orchestrate pronuclear migration and union (karyogomy), and its duplication generates the two centrosomes that organize the first mitotic spindle and define the plane of cleavage.

JCB Report Centrosome positioning in interphase cells
Elena Nadezhdina

2013

The position of the centrosome is actively maintained at the cell center, but the mechanisms of the centering force remain largely unknown. It is known that centrosome positioning requires a radial array of cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) that can exert pushing or pulling forces involving MT dynamics and the activity of cortical MT motors. It has also been suggested that actomyosin can play a direct or indirect role in this process. To examine the centering mechanisms, we introduced an imbalance of The first two authors contributed equally to this work. The online version of this article includes supplemental material.

Microtubules' interaction with cell cortex is required for their radial organization, but not for centrosome positioning
Elena Nadezhdina

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton, 2007

Microtubules in interphase mammalian cells usually form a radial array with minus-ends concentrated in the central region and plus-ends placed at the periphery. This is accepted as correct, that two factors determinate the radial organization of microtubules - the centrosome, which nucleate and anchor the microtubules minus-ends, and the interaction of microtubules with cortical dynein, which positions centrosome in the cell center. However, it looks as if there are additional factors, affecting the radial structure of microtubule system. We show here that in aged Vero cytoplasts (17 h after enucleation) microtubule system lost radial organization and became chaotic. To clear up the reasons of that, we studied centrosome activity, its position in the cytoplasts and microtubule dynamics. We found that centrosome in aged cytoplasts was still active and placed in the central region of the cytoplasm, while after total disruption of the microtubules it was displaced from the center.

Centrosome centering and decentering by microtubule network rearrangement
F. Nedelec

2016

The centrosome is positioned at the cell center by pushing and pulling forces transmitted by microtubules (MTs). Centrosome decentering is often considered to result from asymmetric, cortical pulling forces exerted in particular by molecular motors on MTs, and controlled by external cues affecting the cell cortex locally. Here we used numerical simulations to investigate the possibility that it could equally result from the redistribution of pushing forces due to a reorientation of MTs. We first showed that MT gliding along cell edges and pivoting around the centrosome regulate MT rearrangement and thereby direct the spatial distribution of pushing forces, while the number, dynamics and stiffness of MTs determine the magnitude of these forces. By modulating these parameters, we identified different regimes, involving both pushing and pulling forces, characterized either by robust centrosome centering, robust off-centering or 'reactive' positioning. In those latter conditions...

The centrosome, which consists of two centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material, is a unique structure that has retained its main features in organisms of various taxonomic groups from unicellular algae to mammals over one billion years of evolution. In addition to the most noticeable function of organizing the microtubule system in mitosis and interphase, the centrosome performs many other cell functions. In particular, centrioles are the basis for the formation of sensitive primary cilia and motile cilia and flagella. Another principal function of centrosomes is the concentration in one place of regulatory proteins responsible for the cell’s progression along the cell cycle. Despite the existing exceptions, the functioning of the centrosome is subject to general principles, which are discussed in this review.

What Are the Potential Roles of Nuclear Perlecan and Other Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans in the Normal and Malignant Phenotype
James Melrose

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

The recent discovery of nuclear and perinuclear perlecan in annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus cells and its known matrix stabilizing properties in tissues introduces the possibility that perlecan may also have intracellular stabilizing or regulatory roles through interactions with nuclear envelope or cytoskeletal proteins or roles in nucleosomal-chromatin organization that may regulate transcriptional factors and modulate gene expression. The nucleus is a mechano-sensor organelle, and sophisticated dynamic mechanoresponsive cytoskeletal and nuclear envelope components support and protect the nucleus, allowing it to perceive and respond to mechano-stimulation. This review speculates on the potential roles of perlecan in the nucleus based on what is already known about nuclear heparan sulphate proteoglycans. Perlecan is frequently found in the nuclei of tumour cells; however, its specific role in these diseased tissues is largely unknown. The aim of this review is to highlight pro...

Mechanical counterbalance of kinesin and dynein motors in microtubular network regulates cell mechanics, 3D architecture, and mechanosensing
Chynna Smith

ABSTRACTMicrotubules (MTs) and MT motor proteins form active 3D networks made of unstretchable cables with rod-like bending mechanics that provide cells with a dynamically changing structural scaffold. In this study, we report an antagonistic mechanical balance within the dynein-kinesin microtubular motor system. Dynein activity drives microtubular network inward compaction, while isolated activity of kinesins bundles and expands MTs into giant circular bands that deform the cell cortex into discoids. Furthermore, we show that dyneins recruit MTs to sites of cell adhesion increasing topographic contact guidance of cells, while kinesins antagonize it via retraction of MTs from sites of cell adhesion. Actin-to-microtubules translocation of septin-9 enhances kinesins-MTs interactions, outbalances activity of kinesins over dyneins and induces discoid architecture of cells. These orthogonal mechanisms of MT network reorganization highlight the existence of an intricate mechanical balance...
