Nuclear positioning in mto1 mutants.

Nuclear positioning in strains of the indicated genotypes (see Figure 1A). 100 cells of each genotype were scored. For each cell, distance from nucleus to each cell end was measured. The shorter of the two distances was termed S, and the longer was termed L. Y-axis shows ratio S/L for cells of each genotype, in rank order. Higher S/L ratios indicate more accurate nuclear centering. *p<0.01; **p<0.001 (non-paired t-test, two-tailed); other differences are not significant. Actual p values are: mto1-GFP vs. mto1[NE]-GFP, 0.99; mto1-GFP vs. mto1[∆130]-GFP, 0.0066; mto1-GFP vs. mto1[bonsai]-GFP, 0.0002; mto1[NE]-GFP vs. mto1[∆130]-GFP, 0.0060; mto1[NE]-GFP vs. mto1[bonsai]-GFP, 0.0002; mto1[∆130]-GFP vs. mto1[bonsai]-GFP, 0.29.

The mto1 9A1 mutation enhances Mto1[NE]-GFP localization to the nuclear envelope.

Both Mto1[NE]-GFP and Mto1[bonsai]-GFP promote microtubule (MT) nucleation by the γ-tubulin complex, and thus both are present at minus ends of individual MTs within MT bundles, even though neither binds directly to the MT lattice. When the 9A1 mutation is introduced into Mto1, absence of MT nucleation abrogates association with MT minus ends, leading to increased Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP on the nuclear envelope (previously described by Lynch et al., 2014). Bar, 5 µm.

Characterization of crm1-C529 mutants.

(A) Growth of wild-type (crm1+) cells and the crm1 mutants indicated, on plates with and without leptomycin B (LMB). The crm1-C529A, crm1-C529T, and crm1-C529V mutants are essentially completely resistant to LMB, while the crm1-C529S mutant is only partially resistant. (B) Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP and Nup146-3mCherry localization in the crm1 mutants indicated, in the absence of LMB. In crm1-C529S, crm1-C529T, and crm1-C529V mutants, Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP fails to localize to nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), although it does localize to NPCs in crm1-C529A mutants (Figure 3). Bar, 5 µm.

Microtubule regrowth after leptomycin B treatment.

Anti-tubulin immunofluorescence of control (ethanol-treated) and leptomycin B (LMB)-treated cells during microtubule (MT) regrowth after cold-induced MT depolymerization, in a strain expressing untagged, full-length wild-type Mto1. Arrowheads indicate examples of MT regrowth from the nuclear envelope, which does not occur in LMB-treated cells. MT regrowth is slightly slower in LMB-treated cells compared to control cells, possibly because LMB leads to increased intranuclear localization of some MT-associated proteins, such as Alp7 (see Figure 3—figure supplement 1). LMB treatment also leads to partial intranuclear localization of tubulin after cold treatment, although this may be only a small proportion of total tubulin, as most MT regrowth in LMB-treated cells still occurs in the cytoplasm.

(C) Localization of GFP-Mto1[9A1-NE]-HTB and GFP-Mto1[∆NES-9A1-NE]-HTB, which lacks Mto1 amino acids 1–25. Numbers below images indicate percent cells with Mto1 at NPCs (n = total number of cells scored). (D) Mass spectrometry label-free quantification (LFQ) of 469 proteins from samples of cross-linked, purified GFP-Mto1[9A1-NE]-HTB ('WT’) and cross-linked, purified GFP-Mto1[∆NES-9A1-NE]-HTB ('∆NES’). ‘LFQ ratio’ indicates relative enrichment of a given protein in the purified WT sample compared to the purified ∆NES sample. ‘LFQ intensity’ indicates total intensity (arbitrary units) of a given protein from the combined purified samples. Data shown represent one of two independent biological replicates. Nup82 is labeled because it is likely to interact with Nup146, based on homology with budding yeast (Belgareh et al., 1998).

Expression of dominant-negative Ran (spi1[T23N]) but not constitutively active Ran (spi1[Q68L]) disrupts localization of Mto1[NE] to nuclear pore complexes.

Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP localization in strains containing different versions of Ran (spi1 in fission yeast) expressed from the thiamine-repressible nmt41 promoter, together with control wild-type cells (spi1+). Cells are shown in the presence of thiamine (+Thi), and 26 and 34 hr after removal of thiamine (-Thi). 26 and 34 hr represent early and later stages of induced expression, respectively (see Figure 5—figure supplement 2).

Effects of mutant Ran (spi1 in fission yeast) on Mto1[NE] localization to nuclear pore complexes and on import of a nuclear localization signal (NLS) reporter.

Localization of Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP, together with nuclear-localization-signal (NLS) reporter GST-NLS-mCherry, in wild-type control cells (spi1+) and in cells expressing transgenes for wild-type Ran (nmt41:spi1+), dominant-negative Ran (nmt41:spi1[T23N]), or constitutively active Ran (nmt41:spi1[Q68L]), under the control of the medium-strength thiamine-repressible nmt41 promoter. Cells are shown in the presence of thiamine (+Thi), and 26 and 34 hr after removal of thiamine to induce expression (-Thi). GST-NLS-mCherry expression is under control of the low-strength thiamine-repressible nmt81 promoter and is therefore also induced after removal of thiamine. As a result, GST-NLS-mCherry reports both the kinetics of thiamine-regulated expression (e.g. 26 vs. 34 hr) and the effects of different Ran mutants on nuclear transport and/or nuclear morphology. Numbers below images indicate percent cells with Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP on nuclear pore complexes (NPCs; green), and percent cells with GST-NLS-mCherry in the nucleus (N; red). n = total number of cells scored. Images of GST-NLS-mCherry are sum projections, while images of Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP are maximum projections. Bar, 5 µm.

Both strains express full-length, wild-type Mto1. Arrowheads in nup146+ cells indicate examples of MT regrowth from the nuclear envelope (NE), which does not occur in nup146[∆FG5-12] cells. (D) GFP-tubulin images from time-lapse video showing MT nucleation in wild-type (nup146+) and nup146[∆FG5-12] cells. Yellow dashed line indicates cell nucleus. Red arrowheads indicate nucleation from the NE region. Blue arrowhead indicates nucleation from non-NE cytoplasmic region. In these cells, Mto1[NE] is also tagged with GFP but is too faint to be seen relative to GFP-tubulin. (E) Quantification of MT nucleation from videos of the type shown in D. Numbers represent total number of events for 90 cells of each strain, imaged for 100 s. Differences between strains were highly significant (p=0.0026; Fisher’s exact test, two-sided). (F) Mass spectrometry label-free quantification (LFQ) of 512 proteins from samples of cross-linked, purified GFP-Mto1[9A1-NE]-HTB from wild-type (nup146+) and from nup146[∆FG5-12] cells. ‘LFQ ratio’ indicates relative enrichment of a given protein in the purified sample from nup146+ cells compared to the purified sample from nup146[∆FG5-12] cells. ‘LFQ intensity’ indicates total intensity (arbitrary units) of a given protein from the combined purified samples. Data shown represent geometric mean from two independent biological replicates. Nup82 and Nsp1 are labeled because they are likely to interact with Nup146, based on homology with budding yeast (Belgareh et al., 1998). See also Table 4.

Additional characterization of Nup146[∆FG5-12].

(A) Diagram of S. pombe Nup146 (see Figure 6), together with homologs S. cerevisiae Nup159 and H. sapiens Nup214. Note rearranged domain organization in Nup214. All FG (Phe-Gly) sequence repeats are numbered, although some (e.g. near N-terminus) may not interact with nuclear transport receptors. Where FG repeats are densely distributed, the corresponding region is labeled. Asterisks in Nup214 indicate structured portion of FG repeats observed in co-crystal with Crm1 (Port et al., 2015). Beta-propeller structures in Sc Nup159 and Hs Nup214 have been experimentally verified (Weirich et al., 2004; Napetschnig et al., 2007) and bind to RNA helicases Sc Dbp5 and Hs Ddx19 (respectively), which are involved in mRNP processing in terminal stages of mRNA export. Beta-propeller structure in Nup146 is predicted (Weirich et al., 2004). Alpha-helical regions were predicted using JPred4 (Drozdetskiy et al., 2015). Thicker lines in alpha-helical regions indicate predicted coiled-coils or amphipathic helices. Alpha-helix at the C-terminus of Sc Nup159 is involved in forming a heterotrimeric complex with Sc Nup82 and Sc Nup116 (Yoshida et al., 2011), whose counterparts in fission yeast are Nup82 and Nup189n, respectively. (B) Localization of Nup146[∆FG5-12]−3mCherry to NPCs, with corresponding localization of Mto1[9A1-NE]-GFP.

Model for Mto1/2 complex docking at the nuclear pore complex (NPC), compared to conventional nuclear export.

(A) Conventional export cargos form a trimeric complex with Crm1 and RanGTP in the nucleus. Passage through NPC permeability barrier depends on interaction of export complexes with FG repeats of symmetric FG-Nups. While passing through the NPC, some export complexes may also interact with FG repeats of Nup146 (not shown). Once in the cytoplasm, export complexes are disassembled by soluble RanBP1 and RanGAP, and RanGTP is hydrolyzed to RanGDP (here, multiple steps are simplified to a single step). (B) Mto1/2 complex docked at NPC. Mto1/2 is sourced from a cytoplasmic pool rather than a nucleoplasmic pool. The Mto1 NES-M binds Crm1 by mimicking an export cargo, and the docking complex binds to cytoplasmic FG-Nup Nup146. Docking requires RanGTP and FG repeats of Nup146. See also Figure 7—figure supplement 1.

Figure 7—figure supplement 1
Models for stable docking of a high-affinity NES cargo at the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex via Nup146 and for formation of export-like complexes from cytoplasmic cargo.

(A) Speculative model for how a high-affinity NES cargo could become docked at the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). In diagrams, only the FG-repeat region of Nup146 is shown; by analogy to Sc Nup159, Nup146 is assumed to be anchored at the cytoplasmic face of the NPC by interaction of its C-terminal domain with partners Nup82 and Nsp1. Binding of Crm1 to cargo, RanGTP and Nup146 FG repeats all contribute cooperatively to Crm1 compact conformation. Therefore, 1) if cargo has only low affinity for Crm1, then after partial release of Nup146 FG repeats from Crm1, the trimeric export complex (Crm1, cargo and RanGTP) can disassemble, releasing cargo into the cytoplasm. However, 2) if cargo has a high affinity for Crm1, then stabilization of the Crm1 compact conformation by cargo binding allows partially released FG repeats to rebind to Crm1. Increased stability of interaction between trimeric complex and Nup146 FG repeats leads to increased residence time at the cytoplasmic face of the NPC. See main text for further details. (B) ‘Cargo-handover’ as a potential mechanism for incorporating high-affinity NES cargos from the cytoplasm into export-like complexes at the cytoplasmic face of NPCs. First, a conventional nuclear export complex with a low-affinity NES cargo transiently interacts with Nup146 FG repeats during passage through the NPC. Recent integrated structural analysis in budding yeast suggests that FG repeats of Sc Nup159 may be directly adjacent to the symmetric FG-Nups at the centre of the NPC (Fernandez-Martinez et al., 2016); therefore, even though Nup146 FG repeats are not required for export, some proportion of export complexes could be expected to interact with Nup146 during passage through the NPC. Second, low-affinity cargo dissociates from Crm1, while Crm1 remains bound to Nup146 and to RanGTP. Dissociation of low-affinity cargo could be either spontaneous or aided by RanBP1; in both cases, this could occur without dissociation or hydrolysis of RanGTP (Koyama and Matsuura, 2010). In absence of cargo, compact Crm1 conformation (and RanGTP binding) may be partially stabilized by interaction with Nup146 FG repeats, as has been shown for FG repeats of Hs Nup214 (Hutten and Kehlenbach, 2006). Finally, during a ‘window of opportunity’ before dissociation of Crm1 from Nup146, a high-affinity NES cargo such as the Mto1 NES-M can bind to Crm1 to generate the export-like complex.
