Abstract
CK1 kinases participate in many signaling pathways, and their regulation is of meaningful biological consequence. CK1s autophosphorylate their C-terminal noncatalytic tails, and eliminating these tails increases substrate phosphorylation in vitro, suggesting that the autophosphorylated C-termini act as inhibitory pseudosubstrates. To test this prediction, we comprehensively identified the autophosphorylation sites on Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hhp1 and human CK1ε. Phosphoablating mutations increased Hhp1 and CK1ε activity toward substrates. Peptides corresponding to the C-termini interacted with the kinase domains only when phosphorylated, and substrates competitively inhibited binding of the autophosphorylated tails to the substrate binding grooves. Tail autophosphorylation influenced the catalytic efficiency with which CK1s targeted different substrates, and truncating the tail of CK1δ broadened its linear peptide substrate motif, indicating that tails contribute to substrate specificity as well. Considering autophosphorylation of both T220 in the catalytic domain and C-terminal sites, we propose a displacement specificity model to describe how autophosphorylation modulates substrate specificity for the CK1 family.

Abstract
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) followed by speciation allows us to examine the parallel evolution of ohnolog pairs. In the yeast family Saccharomycetaceae, HRR25 is a rare case of repeated ohnolog maintenance. This gene has reverted to a single copy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae where it is now essential, but has been maintained as pairs in at least 7 species post-WGD. In S. cerevisiae, HRR25 encodes the casein kinase 1δ/ε and plays a role in a variety of functions through its kinase activity and protein-protein interactions (PPIs). We hypothesized that the maintenance of duplicated HRR25 ohnologs could be a result of repeated subfunctionalization. We tested this hypothesis through a functional complementation assay in S. cerevisiae, testing all pairwise combinations of 25 orthologs (including 7 ohnolog pairs). Contrary to our expectations, we observed no cases of pair-dependent complementation, which would have supported the subfunctionalization hypothesis. Instead, most post-WGD species have one ohnolog that failed to complement, suggesting their nonfunctionalization or neofunctionalization. The ohnologs incapable of complementation have undergone more rapid protein evolution, lost most PPIs that were observed for their functional counterparts and singletons from post-WGD and non-WGD species, and have nonconserved cellular localization, consistent with their ongoing loss of function. The analysis in Naumovozyma castellii shows that the noncomplementing ohnolog is expressed at a lower level and has become nonessential. Taken together, our results indicate that HRR25 orthologs are undergoing gradual nonfunctionalization.

CK1 kinases participate in many signaling pathways; how these enzymes are regulated is therefore of significant biological consequence. CK1s autophosphorylate their C-terminal non-catalytic tails, and eliminating these modifications increases substrate phosphorylation in vitro, suggesting that the autophosphorylated C-termini act as inhibitory pseudosubstrates. To test this prediction, we comprehensively identified the autophosphorylation sites on Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hhp1 and human CK1ε. Peptides corresponding to the C-termini interacted with the kinase domains only when phosphorylated, and phosphoablating mutations increased Hhp1 and CK1ε activity towards substrates. Interestingly, substrates competitively inhibited binding of the autophosphorylated tails to the substrate binding grooves. The presence or absence of tail autophosphorylation influenced the catalytic efficiency with which CK1s targeted different substrates, indicating that tails contribute to substrate specificity. Combining this mechanism with autophosphorylation of the T220 site in the catalytic domain, we propose a displacement specificity model to describe how autophosphorylation regulates substrate specificity for the CK1 family.

Abstract
Mitochondrial biogenesis requires coordinated expression of genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, which in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is achieved in part via post-transcriptional control by the Pumilio RNA-binding domain protein Puf3 Puf3 binds to the 3'-UTR of many messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that encode mitochondrial proteins, regulating their turnover, translation, and/or mitochondrial targeting. Puf3 hyperphosphorylation correlates with increased mitochondrial biogenesis; however, the kinase responsible for Puf3 phosphorylation is unclear. Here, we show that the casein kinase I protein Hrr25 negatively regulates Puf3 by mediating its phosphorylation. An hrr25 mutation results in reduced phosphorylation of Puf3 in vivo and a puf3 deletion mutation reverses growth defects of hrr25 mutant cells grown on medium with a nonfermentable carbon source. We show that Hrr25 directly phosphorylates Puf3, and that the interaction between Puf3 and Hrr25 is mediated through the N-terminal domain of Puf3 and the kinase domain of Hrr25 We further found that an hrr25 mutation reduces GFP expression from GFP reporter constructs carrying the 3'-UTR of Puf3 targets. Downregulation of GFP expression due to an hrr25 mutation can be reversed either by puf3Δ or by mutations to the Puf3-binding sites in the 3'-UTR of the GFP reporter constructs. Together, our data indicate that Hrr25 is a positive regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis by phosphorylating Puf3 and inhibiting its function in downregulating target mRNAs encoding mitochondrial proteins.

Abstract
Members of the highly conserved pleiotropic CK1 family of serine/threonine-specific kinases are tightly regulated in the cell and play crucial regulatory roles in multiple cellular processes from protozoa to human. Since their dysregulation as well as mutations within their coding regions contribute to the development of various different pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, they have become interesting new drug targets within the last decade. However, to develop optimized CK1 isoform-specific therapeutics in personalized therapy concepts, a detailed knowledge of the regulation and functions of the different CK1 isoforms, their various splice variants and orthologs is mandatory. In this review we will focus on the stress-induced CK1 isoform delta (CK1δ), thereby addressing its regulation, physiological functions, the consequences of its deregulation for the development and progression of diseases, and its potential as therapeutic drug target.

Abstract
Eukaryotic ribosomes are synthesized in a hierarchical process driven by a plethora of assembly factors, but how maturation events at physically distant sites on pre-ribosomes are coordinated is poorly understood. Using functional analyses and cryo-EM, we show that ribosomal protein Rps20 orchestrates communication between two multi-step maturation events across the pre-40S subunit. Our study reveals that during pre-40S maturation, formation of essential contacts between Rps20 and Rps3 permits assembly factor Ltv1 to recruit the Hrr25 kinase, thereby promoting Ltv1 phosphorylation. In parallel, a deeply buried Rps20 loop reaches to the opposite pre-40S side, where it stimulates Rio2 ATPase activity. Both cascades converge to the final maturation steps releasing Rio2 and phosphorylated Ltv1. We propose that conformational proofreading exerted via Rps20 constitutes a checkpoint permitting assembly factor release and progression of pre-40S maturation only after completion of all earlier maturation steps. The biogenesis of eukaryotic ribosomes is a multi-step process involving the action of more than 200 different ribosome assembly factors. Here the authors show that Rps20 acts as a conduit to coordinate maturation steps across the head domain of the nascent small ribosomal subunit.

Abstract
All types of cellular RNAs are post-transcriptionally modified, constituting the so called 'epitranscriptome'. In particular, tRNAs and their anticodon stem loops represent major modification hotspots. The attachment of small chemical groups at the heart of the ribosomal decoding machinery can directly affect translational rates, reading frame maintenance, co-translational folding dynamics and overall proteome stability. The variety of tRNA modification patterns is driven by the activity of specialized tRNA modifiers and large modification complexes. Notably, the absence or dysfunction of these cellular machines is correlated with several human pathophysiologies. In this review, we aim to highlight the most recent scientific progress and summarize currently available structural information of the most prominent eukaryotic tRNA modifiers.

Chromosoma 2019; 128:331-354. [PMID: 31037469 PMCID: PMC6823300 DOI: 10.1007/s00412-019-00700-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2018] [Revised: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The monopolin complex is a multifunctional molecular crosslinker, which in S. pombe binds and organises mitotic kinetochores to prevent aberrant kinetochore-microtubule interactions. In the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, whose kinetochores bind a single microtubule, the monopolin complex crosslinks and mono-orients sister kinetochores in meiosis I, enabling the biorientation and segregation of homologs. Here, we show that both the monopolin complex subunit Csm1 and its binding site on the kinetochore protein Dsn1 are broadly distributed throughout eukaryotes, suggesting a conserved role in kinetochore organisation and function. We find that budding yeast Csm1 binds two conserved motifs in Dsn1, one (termed Box 1) representing the ancestral, widely conserved monopolin binding motif and a second (termed Box 2-3) with a likely role in enforcing specificity of sister kinetochore crosslinking. We find that Box 1 and Box 2-3 bind the same conserved hydrophobic cavity on Csm1, suggesting competition or handoff between these motifs. Using structure-based mutants, we also find that both Box 1 and Box 2-3 are critical for monopolin function in meiosis. We identify two conserved serine residues in Box 2-3 that are phosphorylated in meiosis and whose mutation to aspartate stabilises Csm1-Dsn1 binding, suggesting that regulated phosphorylation of these residues may play a role in sister kinetochore crosslinking specificity. Overall, our results reveal the monopolin complex as a broadly conserved kinetochore organiser in eukaryotes, which budding yeast have co-opted to mediate sister kinetochore crosslinking through the addition of a second, regulatable monopolin binding interface.

Abstract
During cell division, the timing of mitosis and cytokinesis must be ordered to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete, undamaged copy of the genome. In fission yeast, the septation initiation network (SIN) is responsible for this coordination, and a mitotic checkpoint dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase Dma1 and the protein kinase CK1 controls SIN signaling to delay cytokinesis when there are errors in mitosis. The participation of kinases and ubiquitin ligases in cell cycle checkpoints that maintain genome integrity is conserved from yeast to human, making fission yeast an excellent model system in which to study checkpoint mechanisms. In this review, we highlight recent advances and remaining questions related to checkpoint regulation, which requires the synchronized modulation of protein ubiquitination, phosphorylation, and subcellular localization.

Abstract
RWD domains mediate protein-protein interactions in a variety of pathways in eukaryotes. In budding yeast, the RWD domain protein Csm1 is particularly versatile, assembling key complexes in the nucleolus and at meiotic kinetochores through multiple protein interaction surfaces. Here, we reveal a third functional context for Csm1 by identifying a new Csm1-interacting protein, Dse3. We show that Dse3 interacts with Csm1 in a structurally equivalent manner to its known binding partners Mam1 and Ulp2, despite these three proteins' lack of overall sequence homology. We theorize that the unique "clamp" structure of Csm1 and the loose sequence requirements for Csm1 binding have led to its incorporation into at least three different structural/signaling pathways in budding yeast.

Phosphorylation and Proteasome Recognition of the mRNA-Binding Protein Cth2 Facilitates Yeast Adaptation to Iron Deficiency. mBio 2018; 9:mBio.01694-18.

Abstract
Iron is a vital element for many metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of DNA and proteins, and the generation of energy via oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, living organisms have developed tightly controlled mechanisms to properly distribute iron, since imbalances lead to nutritional deficiencies, multiple diseases, and vulnerability against pathogens. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cth2 is a conserved mRNA-binding protein that coordinates a global reprogramming of iron metabolism in response to iron deficiency in order to optimize its utilization. Here we report that the phosphorylation of Cth2 at specific serine residues is essential to regulate the stability of the protein and adaptation to iron depletion. We identify the kinase and ubiquitination machinery implicated in this process to establish a posttranscriptional regulatory model. These results and recent findings for both mammals and plants reinforce the privileged position of E3 ubiquitin ligases and phosphorylation events in the regulation of eukaryotic iron homeostasis. Iron is an indispensable micronutrient for all eukaryotic organisms due to its participation as a redox cofactor in many metabolic pathways. Iron imbalance leads to the most frequent human nutritional deficiency in the world. Adaptation to iron limitation requires a global reorganization of the cellular metabolism directed to prioritize iron utilization for essential processes. In response to iron scarcity, the conserved Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNA-binding protein Cth2, which belongs to the tristetraprolin family of tandem zinc finger proteins, coordinates a global remodeling of the cellular metabolism by promoting the degradation of multiple mRNAs encoding highly iron-consuming proteins. In this work, we identify a critical mechanism for the degradation of Cth2 protein during the adaptation to iron deficiency. Phosphorylation of a patch of Cth2 serine residues within its amino-terminal region facilitates recognition by the SCFGrr1 ubiquitin ligase complex, accelerating Cth2 turnover by the proteasome. When Cth2 degradation is impaired by either mutagenesis of the Cth2 serine residues or deletion of GRR1, the levels of Cth2 rise and abrogate growth in iron-depleted conditions. Finally, we uncover that the casein kinase Hrr25 phosphorylates and promotes Cth2 destabilization. These results reveal a sophisticated posttranslational regulatory pathway necessary for the adaptation to iron depletion.

Abstract
P-bodies are liquid droplet-like compartments that lack a limiting membrane and are present in many eukaryotic cells. These structures contain specific sets of proteins and mRNAs at concentrations higher than that in the surrounding environment. Although highly conserved, the normal physiological roles of these ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules remain poorly defined. Here, we report that P-bodies are required for the efficient completion of meiosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae P-bodies were found to be present during all phases of the meiotic program and to provide protection for the Hrr25/CK1 protein kinase, a key regulator of this developmental process. A failure to associate with these RNP granules resulted in diminished levels of Hrr25 and an ensuing inability to complete meiosis. This work therefore identifies a novel function for these RNP granules and indicates how protein recruitment to these structures can have a significant impact on eukaryotic cell biology.

Abstract
CK1 protein kinases contribute to multiple biological processes, but how they are tailored to function in compartmentalized signaling events is largely unknown. Hhp1 and Hhp2 (Hhp1/2) are the soluble CK1 family members in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. One of their functions is to inhibit the septation initiation network (SIN) during a mitotic checkpoint arrest. The SIN is assembled by Sid4 at spindle pole bodies (SPBs), and though Hhp1/2 colocalize there, it is not known how they are targeted there or whether their SPB localization is required for SIN inhibition. Here, we establish that Hhp1/2 localize throughout the cell cycle to SPBs, as well as to the nucleus, cell tips, and division site. We find that their catalytic domains but not their enzymatic function are used for SPB targeting and that this targeting strategy is conserved in human CK1δ/ε localization to centrosomes. Further, we pinpoint amino acids in the Hhp1 catalytic domain required for SPB interaction; mutation of these residues disrupts Hhp1 association with the core SPB protein Ppc89, and the inhibition of cytokinesis in the setting of spindle stress. Taken together, these data have enabled us to define a molecular mechanism used by CK1 enzymes to target a specific cellular locale for compartmentalized signaling.

Abstract
Sister kinetochores are connected to the same spindle pole during meiosis I and to opposite poles during meiosis II. The molecular mechanisms controlling the distinct behavior of sister kinetochores during the two meiotic divisions are poorly understood. To study kinetochore behavior during meiosis, we have optimized time lapse imaging with Drosophila spermatocytes, enabling kinetochore tracking with high temporal and spatial resolution through both meiotic divisions. The correct bipolar orientation of chromosomes within the spindle proceeds rapidly during both divisions. Stable bi-orientation of the last chromosome is achieved within ten minutes after the onset of kinetochore-microtubule interactions. Our analyses of mnm and tef mutants, where univalents instead of bivalents are present during meiosis I, indicate that the high efficiency of normal bi-orientation depends on pronounced stabilization of kinetochore attachments to spindle microtubules by the mechanical tension generated by spindle forces upon bi-orientation. Except for occasional brief separation episodes, sister kinetochores are so closely associated that they cannot be resolved individually by light microscopy during meiosis I, interkinesis and at the start of meiosis II. Permanent evident separation of sister kinetochores during M II depends on spindle forces resulting from bi-orientation. In mnm and tef mutants, sister kinetochore separation can be observed already during meiosis I in bi-oriented univalents. Interestingly, however, this sister kinetochore separation is delayed until the metaphase to anaphase transition and depends on the Fzy/Cdc20 activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. We propose that univalent bi-orientation in mnm and tef mutants exposes a release of sister kinetochore conjunction that occurs also during normal meiosis I in preparation for bi-orientation of dyads during meiosis II. For production of oocytes and sperm, cells have to complete meiosis which includes two successive divisions. These divisions convert diploid cells with a maternal and a paternal copy of each chromosome into haploid cells with only one copy of each chromosome. Chromosome copy reduction requires regulation of sister kinetochore behavior during the meiotic divisions. Kinetochores are protein networks assembled at the start of divisions within the centromeric region of chromosomes. They provide attachment sites for spindle microtubules which in turn exert poleward pulling forces. During pre-meiotic S phase, each chromosome is duplicated into two closely associated sister chromatids. At the start of the first meiotic division, both sister chromatids together assemble only one functional kinetochore, permitting subsequent separation of paired homologous chromosomes to opposite spindle poles. In contrast, at the onset of the second meiotic division, each sister chromatid organizes its own kinetochore followed by separation of sister chromatids to opposite spindle poles. To analyze when and how sister kinetochores are individualized, we have improved time lapse imaging with Drosophila spermatocytes. Our analyses in normal and genetically altered spermatocytes suggest that the release of sister kinetochore conjunction occurs during the first meiotic division after activation of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome.

Abstract
Protein kinases are major regulators of mitosis, with over 30% of the mitotic proteome phosphorylated on serines, threonines and tyrosines. The human genome encodes for 518 kinases that have a structurally conserved catalytic domain and includes about a dozen of cell division specific ones. Yet each kinase has unique structural features that allow their distinct substrate recognition and modes of regulation. These unique regulatory features determine their accurate spatio-temporal activation critical for correct progression through mitosis and are exploited for therapeutic purposes. In this review, we will discuss the principles of mitotic kinase activation and the structural determinants that underlie functional specificity.

Abstract
In budding yeast, the monopolin complex mediates sister kinetochore cross-linking and co-orientation in meiosis I. The CK1δ kinase Hrr25 is critical for sister kinetochore co-orientation, but its roles are not well understood. Here, we present the structures of Hrr25 and its complex with the monopolin subunit Mam1. Hrr25 possesses a "central domain" that packs tightly against the kinase C-lobe, adjacent to the binding site for Mam1. Together, the Hrr25 central domain and Mam1 form a novel, contiguous embellishment to the Hrr25 kinase domain that affects Hrr25 conformational dynamics and enzyme kinetics. Mam1 binds a hydrophobic surface on the Hrr25 N-lobe that is conserved in CK1δ-family kinases, suggesting a role for this surface in recruitment and/or regulation of these enzymes throughout eukaryotes. Finally, using purified proteins, we find that Hrr25 phosphorylates the kinetochore receptor for monopolin, Dsn1. Together with our new structural insights into the fully assembled monopolin complex, this finding suggests that tightly localized Hrr25 activity modulates monopolin complex-kinetochore interactions through phosphorylation of both kinetochore and monopolin complex components.
