Abstract
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are sophisticated multiprotein assemblies embedded within the nuclear envelope and controlling the exchanges of molecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms by which these elaborate complexes are built from their subunits, the nucleoporins, based on our ever-growing knowledge of NPC structural organization and on the recent identification of additional features of this process. We present the constraints faced during the production of nucleoporins, their gathering into oligomeric complexes, and the formation of NPCs within nuclear envelopes, and review the cellular strategies at play, from co-translational assembly to the enrolment of a panel of cofactors. Remarkably, the study of NPCs can inform our perception of the biogenesis of multiprotein complexes in general - and vice versa.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes selective autophagy called reticulophagy or ER-phagy. Multiple reticulon- and receptor expression enhancing protein (REEP)-like ER-shaping proteins, including budding yeast Atg40, serve as reticulophagy receptors that stabilize the phagophore on the ER by interacting with phagophore-conjugated Atg8. Additionally, they facilitate phagophore engulfment of the ER by remodeling ER morphology. We reveal that Hva22, a REEP family protein in fission yeast, promotes reticulophagy without Atg8-binding capacity. The role of Hva22 in reticulophagy can be replaced by expressing Atg40 independently of its Atg8-binding ability. Conversely, adding an Atg8-binding sequence to Hva22 enables it to substitute for Atg40 in budding yeast. Thus, the phagophore-stabilizing and ER-shaping activities, both of which Atg40 solely contains, are divided between two separate factors, receptors and Hva22, respectively, in fission yeast.Abbreviations: AIM: Atg8-family interacting motif; Atg: autophagy related; DTT: dithiothreitol; ER: endoplasmic reticulum GFP: green fluorescent protein; NAA: 1-naphthaleneacetic acid; REEP: receptor expression enhancing protein; RFP: red fluorescent protein; UPR: unfolded protein response.

Abstract
Kinesin-5 motors are essential to separate mitotic spindle poles and assemble a bipolar spindle in many organisms. These motors crosslink and slide apart antiparallel microtubules via microtubule plus-end-directed motility. However, kinesin-5 localization is enhanced away from antiparallel overlaps. Increasing evidence suggests this localization occurs due to bidirectional motility or trafficking. The purified fission-yeast kinesin-5 protein Cut7 moves bidirectionally, but bidirectionality has not been shown in cells, and the function of the minus-end-directed movement is unknown. Here, we characterized the motility of Cut7 on bipolar and monopolar spindles and observed movement toward both plus- and minus-ends of microtubules. Notably, the activity of the motor increased at anaphase B onset. Perturbations to microtubule dynamics only modestly changed Cut7 movement, whereas Cut7 mutation reduced movement. These results suggest that the directed motility of Cut7 contributes to the movement of the motor. Comparison of the Cut7 mutant and human Eg5 (also known as KIF11) localization suggest a new hypothesis for the function of minus-end-directed motility and spindle-pole localization of kinesin-5s.

Abstract
The number, distribution, and composition of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in the nuclear envelope varies between cell types and changes during cellular differentiation and in disease. To understand how NPC density and organization are controlled, we analyzed the NPC number and distribution in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe using structured illumination microscopy. The small size of yeast nuclei, genetic features of fungi, and our robust image analysis pipeline allowed us to study NPCs in intact nuclei under multiple conditions. Our data revealed that NPC density is maintained across a wide range of nuclear sizes. Regions of reduced NPC density are observed over the nucleolus and surrounding the spindle pole body (SPB). Lem2-mediated tethering of the centromeres to the SPB is required to maintain NPC exclusion near SPBs. These findings provide a quantitative understanding of NPC number and distribution in S. pombe and show that interactions between the centromere and the nuclear envelope influences local NPC distribution.

Abstract
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels within the nuclear envelope that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. NPCs form within the closed nuclear envelope during interphase or assemble concomitantly with nuclear envelope reformation in late stages of mitosis. Both interphase and mitotic NPC biogenesis require coordination of protein complex assembly and membrane deformation. During early stages of mitotic NPC assembly, a seed for new NPCs is established on chromatin, yet the factors connecting the NPC seed to the membrane of the forming nuclear envelope are unknown. Here, we report that the reticulon homology domain protein REEP4 not only localizes to high-curvature membrane of the cytoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum but is also recruited to the inner nuclear membrane by the NPC biogenesis factor ELYS. This ELYS-recruited pool of REEP4 promotes NPC assembly and appears to be particularly important for NPC formation during mitosis. These findings suggest a role for REEP4 in coordinating nuclear envelope reformation with mitotic NPC biogenesis.

Abstract
In the filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora (Sm), the STRIPAK complex is required for vegetative growth, fruiting-body development and hyphal fusion. The SmSTRIPAK core consists of the striatin homolog PRO11, the scaffolding subunit of phosphatase PP2A, SmPP2AA, and its catalytic subunit SmPP2Ac1. Among other STRIPAK proteins, the recently identified coiled-coil protein SCI1 was demonstrated to co-localize around the nucleus. Pulldown experiments with SCI identified the transmembrane nucleoporin (TM Nup) SmPOM33 as a potential nuclear-anchor of SmSTRIPAK. Localization studies revealed that SmPOM33 partially localizes to the nuclear envelope (NE), but mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We succeeded to generate a Δpom33 deletion mutant by homologous recombination in a new S. macrospora Δku80 recipient strain, which is defective in non-homologous end joining. Deletion of Smpom33 did neither impair vegetative growth nor sexual development. In pulldown experiments of SmPOM33 followed by LC/MS analysis, ER-membrane proteins involved in ER morphology, protein translocation, glycosylation, sterol biosynthesis and Ca2+-transport were significantly enriched. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD026253. Although no SmSTRIPAK components were identified as putative interaction partners, it cannot be excluded that SmPOM33 is involved in temporarily anchoring the SmSTRIPAK to the NE or other sites in the cell.

Abstract
Movement of the cell nucleus typically involves the cytoskeleton and either polymerization-based pushing forces or motor-based pulling forces. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, nuclear movement and positioning are thought to depend on microtubule polymerization-based pushing forces. Here, we describe a novel, microtubule-independent, form of nuclear movement in fission yeast. Microtubule-independent nuclear movement is directed towards growing cell tips, and it is strongest when the nucleus is close to a growing cell tip, and weakest when the nucleus is far from that tip. Microtubule-independent nuclear movement requires actin cables but does not depend on actin polymerization-based pushing or myosin V-based pulling forces. The vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-associated proteins (VAPs) Scs2 and Scs22, which are critical for endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites in fission yeast, are also required for microtubule-independent nuclear movement. We also find that in cells in which microtubule-based pushing forces are present, disruption of actin cables leads to increased fluctuations in interphase nuclear positioning and subsequent altered septation. Our results suggest two non-exclusive mechanisms for microtubule-independent nuclear movement, which may help illuminate aspects of nuclear positioning in other cells.

Abstract
The plasma membrane (PM) forms extensive close junctions with the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cER) in many cell types, ranging from yeast to mammals. How cells modulate structural plasticity of ER-PM contacts to accommodate space-demanding cortical events is largely unknown. Here, we report a role for eisosome-driven PM furrows in regulating ER-PM contact plasticity in fission yeast. We demonstrate that eisosome-coated PM invaginations function to stabilize local ER-PM contacts and attenuate cER remodeling dynamics through electrostatic Scs2-Pil1 interactions. We also identify divergent roles of ER-shaping proteins in controlling cER remodeling capacity and ER-PM contact plasticity. Furthermore, we show that eisosome organization is responsive to PM tension variations during active PM remodeling, which may enable adaptive control of ER-PM contact plasticity to potentially coordinate with space-demanding PM events. We thus propose a cellular strategy of modulating membrane contact plasticity by deploying sensory elements at contact sites.

Abstract
The nuclear envelope (NE) contains a specialized set of integral membrane proteins that maintain nuclear shape and integrity and influence chromatin organization and gene expression. Advances in proteomics techniques and studies in model organisms have identified hundreds of proteins that localize to the NE. However, the function of many of these proteins at the NE remains unclear, in part due to a lack of understanding of the interactions that these proteins participate in at the NE membrane. To assist in the characterization of NE transmembrane protein interactions we developed an arrayed library of integral and peripheral membrane proteins from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe for high-throughput screening using the split-ubiquitin based membrane yeast two -hybrid system. We used this approach to characterize protein interactions for three conserved proteins that localize to the inner nuclear membrane: Cut11/Ndc1, Lem2 and Ima1/Samp1/Net5. Additionally, we determined how the interaction network for Cut11 is altered in canonical temperature-sensitive cut11-ts mutants. This library and screening approach is readily applicable to characterizing the interactomes of integral membrane proteins localizing to various subcellular compartments.

Abstract
A hallmark of cell division in eukaryotic cells is the formation and elongation of a microtubule (MT)-based mitotic spindle. Proper positioning of the spindle is critical to ensure equal segregation of the genetic material to the resulting daughter cells. Both the timing of spindle elongation and constriction of the actomyosin contractile ring must be precisely coordinated to prevent missegregation or damage to the genetic material during cellular division. Here, we show that Sds23, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases, contributes to proper positioning of elongating spindles in fission yeast cells. We found that sds23∆ mutant cells exhibit asymmetric spindles that initially elongate asymmetrically toward one end of the dividing cell. Spindle asymmetry in sds23∆ cells results from a defect that is distinct from previously identified mechanisms, including MT protrusions and enlarged vacuoles. Combined with our previous work, this study demonstrates that Sds23, an inhibitor of PP2A-family protein phosphatases, promotes proper positioning of both the bipolar spindle and cytokinetic ring during fission yeast cell division. These two steps ensure the overall symmetry and fidelity of the cell division process.

Abstract
Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane regulate essential cellular activities including protein quality control, calcium flux, and sterol homeostasis. At least 25 different, transmembrane domain (TMD)-containing E3s are predicted to be ER-localised, but for most their organisation and cellular roles remain poorly defined. Using a comparative proteomic workflow, we mapped over 450 protein-protein interactions for 21 stably expressed, full-length E3s. Bioinformatic analysis linked ER-E3s and their interactors to multiple homeostatic, regulatory, and metabolic pathways. Among these were four membrane-embedded interactors of RNF26, a polytopic E3 whose abundance is auto-regulated by ubiquitin-proteasome dependent degradation. RNF26 co-assembles with TMEM43, ENDOD1, TMEM33 and TMED1 to form a complex capable of modulating innate immune signalling through the cGAS-STING pathway. This RNF26 complex represents a new modulatory axis of STING and innate immune signalling at the ER membrane. Collectively, these data reveal the broad scope of regulation and differential functionalities mediated by ER-E3s for both membrane-tethered and cytoplasmic processes.

Abstract
Maintenance of genomic stability during cell division is one of the most important cellular tasks, and it critically depends on the faithful replication of the genetic material and its equal partitioning into daughter cells, gametes, or spores in the case of yeasts. Defective mitotic spindle assembly and disassembly both result in changes in cellular ploidy that ultimately impinge proliferation fitness and might increase tumor malignancy. Although a great progress has been made in understanding how spindles are assembled to orchestrate chromosome segregation, much less is known about how they are disassembled once completed their function. Here, we review two recently uncovered mechanisms of spindle disassembly that operate at different stages of the fission yeast life cycle.

Abstract
Mutations in the polycystins cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Here we show that transmembrane protein 33 (TMEM33) interacts with the ion channel polycystin-2 (PC2) at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, enhancing its opening over the whole physiological calcium range in ER liposomes fused to planar bilayers. Consequently, TMEM33 reduces intracellular calcium content in a PC2-dependent manner, impairs lysosomal calcium refilling, causes cathepsins translocation, inhibition of autophagic flux upon ER stress, as well as sensitization to apoptosis. Invalidation of TMEM33 in the mouse exerts a potent protection against renal ER stress. By contrast, TMEM33 does not influence pkd2-dependent renal cystogenesis in the zebrafish. Together, our results identify a key role for TMEM33 in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis of renal proximal convoluted tubule cells and establish a causal link between TMEM33 and acute kidney injury.

Patrolling the nucleus: inner nuclear membrane-associated degradation. Curr Genet 2019; 65:1099-1106.

Abstract
Protein quality control and transport are important for the integrity of organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, but it is largely unknown how protein homeostasis is regulated at the nuclear envelope (NE) despite the connection between NE protein function and human disease. Elucidating mechanisms that regulate the NE proteome is key to understanding nuclear processes such as gene expression, DNA replication and repair as NE components, particularly proteins at the inner nuclear membrane (INM), are involved in the maintenance of nuclear structure, nuclear positioning and chromosome organization. Nuclear pore complexes control the entry and exit of proteins in and out of the nucleus, restricting movement across the nuclear membrane based on protein size, or the size of the extraluminal-facing domain of a transmembrane protein, providing one level of INM proteome regulation. Research in budding yeast has identified a protein quality control system that targets mislocalized and misfolded proteins at the INM. Here, we review what is known about INM-associated degradation, including recent evidence suggesting that it not only targets mislocalized or misfolded proteins, but also contributes to homeostasis of resident INM proteins.

Distribution of Proteins at the Inner Nuclear Membrane Is Regulated by the Asi1 E3 Ligase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genetics 2019; 211:1269-1282.

Abstract
Inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein composition regulates nuclear function, affecting processes such as gene expression, chromosome organization, nuclear shape, and stability. Mechanisms that drive changes in the INM proteome are poorly understood, in part because it is difficult to definitively assay INM composition rigorously and systematically. Using a split-GFP complementation system to detect INM access, we examined the distribution of all C-terminally tagged Saccharomyces cerevisiae membrane proteins in wild-type cells and in mutants affecting protein quality control pathways, such as INM-associated degradation (INMAD), ER-associated degradation, and vacuolar proteolysis. Deletion of the E3 ligase Asi1 had the most specific effect on the INM compared to mutants in vacuolar or ER-associated degradation pathways, consistent with a role for Asi1 in the INMAD pathway. Our data suggest that Asi1 not only removes mistargeted proteins at the INM, but also controls the levels and distribution of native INM components, such as the membrane nucleoporin Pom33. Interestingly, loss of Asi1 does not affect Pom33 protein levels but instead alters Pom33 distribution in the nuclear envelope through Pom33 ubiquitination, which drives INM redistribution. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the Asi1 E3 ligase has a novel function in INM protein regulation in addition to protein turnover.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major membrane-bound organelle in all eukaryotic cells. This organelle comprises morphologically distinct domains, including the nuclear envelope and peripheral sheets and tubules. The tubules are connected by three-way junctions into a network. Several membrane proteins have been implicated in network formation; curvature-stabilizing proteins generate the tubules themselves, and membrane-anchored GTPases fuse tubules into a network. Recent experiments have shown that a tubular network can be formed with reconstituted proteoliposomes containing the yeast membrane-fusing GTPase Sey1 and a curvature-stabilizing protein of either the reticulon or REEP protein families. The network forms in the presence of GTP and is rapidly disassembled when GTP hydrolysis of Sey1 is inhibited, indicating that continuous membrane fusion is required for its maintenance. Atlastin, the ortholog of Sey1 in metazoans, forms a network on its own, serving both as a fusion and curvature-stabilizing protein. These results show that the reticular ER can be generated by a surprisingly small set of proteins, and represents an energy-dependent steady state between formation and disassembly. Models for the molecular mechanism by which curvature-stabilizing proteins cooperate with fusion GTPases to form a reticular network have been proposed, but many aspects remain speculative, including the function of additional proteins, such as the lunapark protein, and the mechanism by which the ER interacts with the cytoskeleton. How the nuclear envelope and peripheral ER sheets are formed remain major unresolved questions in the field. Here, we review reconstitution experiments with purified curvature-stabilizing proteins and fusion GTPases, discuss mechanistic implications and point out open questions.

Abstract
Centrosomes are a functionally conserved feature of eukaryotic cells that play an important role in cell division. The conserved γ-tubulin complex organizes spindle and astral microtubules, which, in turn, separate replicated chromosomes accurately into daughter cells. Like DNA, centrosomes are duplicated once each cell cycle. Although in some cell types it is possible for cell division to occur in the absence of centrosomes, these divisions typically result in defects in chromosome number and stability. In single-celled organisms such as fungi, centrosomes [known as spindle pole bodies (SPBs)] are essential for cell division. SPBs also must be inserted into the membrane because fungi undergo a closed mitosis in which the nuclear envelope (NE) remains intact. This poorly understood process involves events similar or identical to those needed for de novo nuclear pore complex assembly. Here, we review how analysis of fungal SPBs has advanced our understanding of centrosomes and NE events.

Abstract
The tubular network is a critical part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The network is shaped by the reticulons and REEPs/Yop1p that generate tubules by inducing high membrane curvature, and the dynamin-like GTPases atlastin and Sey1p/RHD3 that connect tubules via membrane fusion. However, the specific functions of this ER domain are not clear. Here, we isolated tubule-based microsomes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae via classical cell fractionation and detergent-free immunoprecipitation of Flag-tagged Yop1p, which specifically localizes to ER tubules. In quantitative comparisons of tubule-derived and total microsomes, we identified a total of 79 proteins that were enriched in the ER tubules, including known proteins that organize the tubular ER network. Functional categorization of the list of proteins revealed that the tubular ER network may be involved in membrane trafficking, lipid metabolism, organelle contact, and stress sensing. We propose that affinity isolation coupled with quantitative proteomics is a useful tool for investigating ER functions. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.23816.001

Abstract
Each time a metazoan cell undergoes open mitosis, the nucleus is dismantled in order to partition DNA content to the daughter cells. After chromosomes separate, changes at the chromatin surface usher in reestablishment of nuclear architecture. Proteins destined for the nuclear envelope are attracted to chromatin and concomitantly recruit membrane. As nuclear envelope and protein constituents spread to coat chromatin, distinct regions emerge-some rich in rapid pore formation, others occupied by microtubules that remain attached to kinetochores. Microtubule connections present physical barriers that must be remodeled in order for the nuclear envelope to seal. Regions of the nascent nuclear envelope that are initially characterized by contrasting repertoires of nuclear envelope proteins rapidly coalesce as nuclei expand and enter interphase.

Abstract
As a compartment border, the nuclear envelope (NE) needs to serve as both a protective membrane shell for the genome and a versatile communication interface between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Despite its important structural role in sheltering the genome, the NE is a dynamic and highly adaptable boundary that changes composition during differentiation, deforms in response to mechanical challenges, can be repaired upon rupture and even rapidly disassembles and reforms during open mitosis. NE remodelling is fundamentally involved in cell growth, division and differentiation, and if perturbed can lead to devastating diseases such as muscular dystrophies or premature ageing.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, cellular genome is enclosed inside a membrane-bound organelle called the nucleus. The nucleus compartmentalizes genome replication, repair and expression, keeping these activities separated from protein synthesis and other metabolic processes. Each proliferative division, the duplicated chromosomes must be equipartitioned between the daughter cells and this requires precise coordination between assembly of the microtubule-based mitotic spindle and nuclear remodeling. Here we review a surprising variety of strategies used by modern eukaryotes to manage these processes and discuss possible mechanisms that might have led to the emergence of this diversity in evolution.

Abstract
The nuclear envelope (NE) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are components of the same contiguous membrane system and yet have distinct cellular functions. Mounting evidence suggests roles for some ER proteins in the NE for proper nuclear pore complex (NPC) structure and function. In this study, we identify a NE role in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Lnp1 and Sey1, proteins required for proper cortical ER formation. Both lnp1Δ and sey1Δ mutants exhibit synthetic genetic interactions with mutants in genes encoding key NPC structural components. Both Lnp1 and Sey1 physically associate with other ER components that have established NPC roles, including Rtn1, Yop1, Pom33, and Per33. Of interest, lnp1Δ rtn1Δ mutants but not rtn1Δ sey1Δ mutants exhibit defects in NPC distribution. Furthermore, the essential NPC assembly factor Ndc1 has altered interactions in the absence of Sey1. Lnp1 dimerizes in vitro via its C-terminal zinc finger motif, a property that is required for proper ER structure but not NPC integrity. These findings suggest that Lnp1's role in NPC integrity is separable from functions in the ER and is linked to Ndc1 and Rtn1 interactions.

Abstract
More than as an inert separation between the inside and outside of the nucleus, the nuclear envelope (NE) constitutes an active toll, which controls the import and export of molecules, and also a hub for a diversity of genomic processes, such as transcription, DNA repair, and chromatin dynamics. Proteins localized at the inner surface of the NE (such as lamins, nuclear pore proteins, lamin-associated proteins) interact with chromatin in a dynamic manner, contributing to the establishment of topological domains. In this review, we address the complex interplay between chromatin and NE. We discuss the divergence of this cross talk during evolution and comment both on the current established models and the most recent findings. In particular, we focus our attention on how the NE cooperates with chromatin in protecting the genome integrity.

Abstract
Pom33 is an integral membrane protein of the yeast nuclear pore complex (NPC), required for proper NPC distribution and assembly. To characterize Pom33 NPC-targeting determinants, we performed immunoprecipitation experiments followed by mass spectrometry analyses. This identified a novel Pom33 partner, the nuclear import factor Kap123. In vitro experiments revealed a direct interaction between Pom33 C-terminal domain (CTD) and Kap123. In silico analysis predicted the presence of two amphipathic α-helices within Pom33-CTD. Circular dichroism and liposome co-flotation assays showed that this domain is able to fold into α-helices in the presence of liposomes and preferentially binds to highly curved lipid membranes. When expressed in yeast, under conditions abolishing Pom33-CTD membrane association, this domain behaves as a Kap123-dependent nuclear localization signal (NLS). While deletion of Pom33 C-terminal domain (Pom33ΔCTD-GFP) impairs Pom33 stability and NPC targeting, mutants affecting either Kap123 binding or the amphipathic properties of the α-helices do not display any detectable defect. However, combined impairment of lipid and Kap123 binding affects Pom33 targeting to NPCs. These data highlight the requirement of multiple determinants and mechanisms for proper NPC localization of Pom33.
