Pericentrin-mediated SAS-6 recruitment promotes centriole assembly
Figures

Evolution of the morphology and protein content of animal and fungi centrosomes.
(A) The structure of the centrosome in mitosis in most animals, chytrids (flagellated fungi) and fission yeast. Animals and chytrids have a centriole/basal body and a canonical centrosome composed of a pair of centrioles surrounded by PCM, which anchors and nucleates microtubules. Fission yeast lacks a centriole but has a spindle pole body (SPB) inserted in the nuclear envelope. The SPB nucleates microtubules from the PCM-like structure, inside the nucleus. Parsimoniously, it is likely that the common ancestor of animals and fungi had a centriole-containing centrosome with a PCM structure (model shown). (B) Phylogenetic distribution of centrosome components in opisthokonts (animals, fungi and choanoflagellates). We searched for orthologues of components of the human centrosome localizing to centrioles, centriole-PCM linkers and PCM, and the fission yeast SPB components. Black circles represent the presence of orthologues that were identified by the bidirectional best hit approach to the human or fission yeast proteins, respectively; gray circle represents the presence of a putative orthologue identified by constructing phylogenetic trees; blue circles indicate that previous studies showed the presence of a protein with short conserved motifs (Kilmartin, 2003; Samejima et al., 2010; Lin et al., 2014) although we failed to identify it by the computational methods highlighted above; white circles indicate no detectable orthologue.

Drosophila centriole proteins localize to the centrosome of fission yeast.
(A) SAS-6, Bld10 and SAS-4 localize to the SPBs, while Ana2 and Plk4 do not (see Materials and methods for details on expression constructs). Scale bar, 5 μm. (B) Quantification of cells with GFP or YFP-tagged centriole proteins localized on the SPB. Data are the average of three experiments ± s.d. (N > 50, GFP/YFP-positive cells). (C) Physical interaction between the centriole proteins and fission yeast Pcp1. Protein extract was prepared from fission yeast cells expressing HA-tagged Pcp1 and either SAS-6-GFP, or Bld10-GFP, or YFP-SAS-4 or GFP. The GFP-tagged proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibody. Immunoprecipitates and inputs (4%) were analyzed by western blotting using the indicated antibodies. Red open and filled arrowheads indicate the bands of Pcp1-HA and GFP/YFP fusion proteins, respectively.

Expression of Drosophila centriole proteins in fission yeast and the growth of fission yeast strains.
(A) Western blotting analysis of the protein extracts prepared from the strains used in Figure 2A. Each red arrowhead indicates the bands with the expected size of the fusion protein. Note that we found that Bld10-GFP was degraded in the cell lysate. It is possible that larger-sized foreign proteins are targeted by fission yeast proteases. (B) Serial dilution assay of the cells expressing indicated Drosophila centriole components under control of the constitutive atb2 promoter, which is shown in Figure 2A. Note that all the strains expressing centriole proteins grew similarly as the control (no centriole protein).

Fission yeast pericentrin-like protein Pcp1 is required to recruit SAS-6 to the SPB.
(A, C, E) SAS-6-GFP, Bld10-GFP and YFP-SAS-4 intensities on the SPB in the pcp1 mutant in asynchronous and prometaphase-arrested cells. The cut7-446 (labeled ‘control’) and cut7-446 pcp1-14 (labeled ‘pcp1 mutant’) strains expressing SAS-6-GFP and Sid4-tdTomato were incubated at the restrictive temperature (36°C) for three hours to block cells in prometaphase due to the cut7-446 mutation (temperature-sensitive allele of a mitotic kinesin, which causes failure in mitotic spindle formation). Representative images of the cells collected before shifting the temperature (interphase, Int) and three hours after the shift to 36°C (prometaphase, PM, restrictive temperature) in control and pcp1 mutant are shown. DNA was stained with DAPI. Arrowheads indicate the signal on the SPB. Note that we also observed aggregation of SAS-6-GFP and YFP-SAS-4 in the cytoplasm both in the control and pcp1 mutant in all the cells exposed to the restrictive temperature (indicated with an asterisk), and never at the normal and permissive culture condition. We think that aggregate formation might stem from the cut7-446 genetic background and/or the heat stress. Scale bar, 5 μm. (B, D, F) Quantification of the intensity of the centriole proteins per SPB in the indicated conditions. Means ± s.d. are shown in red (N > 100 SPBs, ns-not significant, *p<0.05, **p<0.001, ***p<0.0001, Mann-Whitney U test). (G) Western blotting analysis of protein extracts prepared from the indicated conditions.

SAS-6 interacts with Pcp1 through the conserved carboxyl-terminal region, and Pcp1 is sufficient for SAS-6 localization.
(A) Schematic illustration of the truncation constructs of Pcp1. (B) Pcp1 interacts with SAS-6 through the conserved carboxyl-terminal region. mCherry-tagged full-length or truncation mutants of Pcp1 were expressed in cells constitutively expressing SAS-6-GFP. Immunoprecipitation was performed and analyzed similarly as in Figure 2B. Red arrowheads indicate bands with the expected size of each fusion protein. The asterisk indicates non-specific bands. (C, D) Pcp1 is sufficient to recruit SAS-6. Overexpression of Pcp1 leads to the formation of Pcp1 containing cytoplasmic foci (schematic illustration, (C). Pcp1-mCherry was overexpressed under control of nmt41 promoter in the strain expressing SAS-6-GFP and GFP alone. Sfi1-CFP is shown (SPB marker). Arrowheads indicate the SAS-6-GFP signal on the Pcp1-cytoplasmic foci. Scale bar, 5 μm. (E) Quantification of the cells with colocalized Pcp1-mCherry and GFP foci. Data are the average of three experiments ± s.d. (N > 50, Pcp1-mCherry positive cells).

Localization of SAS-6 at the fission yeast SPB is cell-cycle regulated.
(A) The fission yeast strain with cdc25-22 mutation expressing SAS-6-GFP under the atb2 promoter was blocked in the G2/M boundary and synchronously released into mitosis. Cells were collected every 20 min and protein extract was prepared. Protein expression was analyzed by western blotting with anti-GFP and anti-Cdc2 PSTAIRE (loading control). (B) Septation index was determined to check the cell cycle synchronization. Note that cell cycle progression was highly synchronized. (C) SAS-6 localization along the cell cycle.

The Drosophila pericentrin (PLP) conserved domain –PACT- interacts with SAS-6, and its overexpression causes centriole amplification.
(A) Schematic illustration of human pericentrin, Drosophila PLP and S. pombe Pcp1. (B) Physical interaction between SAS-6-EGFP and the conserved Drosophila PACT domain. Protein extract was prepared from Drosophila tissue culture cells (D.Mel cells) expressing HA-tagged PACT, and SAS-6-EGFP or EGFP. The GFP-tagged proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibody. Immunoprecipitates and inputs (20%) were analyzed by western blotting using the indicated antibodies. (C) Direct binding between SAS-6 and PACT. The in vitro binding assay was performed using purified GST or GST-fused SAS-6 and His-tagged PLP PACT. Note that we loaded 100% for each sample on each lane after pull-down to compare the efficiency of direct binding (bound vs input). Quantification of His-PACT bound to the GST-fusion protein is shown below the panel (data are the average of three experiments ± s.d) (D) Cells overexpressing EGFP-PACT or EGFP were arrested in mitosis by colchicine treatment for six hours and stained with the antibodies against Bld10 (centriole marker), phospho-H3 (mitotic marker) and SAS-6. Scale bar, 5 μm. (E) Quantification of SAS-6 intensity per centriole in cells overexpressing EGFP-PACT or EGFP arrested in mitosis. Means ± s.d. are shown in red (**p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). Results are representative of three independent experiments (N > 40 centrioles for each condition). (F) Cells overexpressing EGFP-PACT or EGFP were stained for two centriole markers (SAS-4 and Bld10, SAS-4 and Ana1) to count centriole number. Scale bar, 5 μm. (G) Quantification of centriole number per cell (N > 50, EGFP-positive cells). Data are the average of three experiments ± s.d. (*p<0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). Note that although control Drosophila tissue culture cells already show cells with underduplicated and over-duplicated centrioles as published before (Bettencourt-Dias et al., 2005), the expression of PACT leads to a significant amplification of centrioles.

(A) Images of mitotic D.Mel cells after depletion of PLP and Ana2 by RNAi. D.Mel cells were depleted of PLP (PLP RNAi), Ana2 (Ana2 RNAi), and were double-depleted with Ana2 and PLP (Ana2 +PLP RNAi) (mCherry RNAi was used as negative control) for three days.

Drosophila pericentrin (PLP) is required for SAS-6 recruitment to the sperm centriole/basal body and for its elongation.
(A) Schematic illustration of the experiments to deplete PLP during centriole biogenesis and elongation. (B) Representative images of mature spermatocytes in flies with different genotypes. PACT (red) is a commonly used marker for basal bodies (BB) and DAPI (blue) stains DNA. Insets show RFP::PACT close to the numbers (in gray scale). (C) Quantification of the number of BBs per cell in mature spermatocytes. (D) Representative images of mature spermatocyte BB in flies with different genotypes. RFP::PACT (red) marks BBs, Anti-SAS-6 (green) and Anti-PLP (blue) antibodies stain the proximal part of BB (arrowheads). (E) Quantification of SAS-6, PLP, BB length and the number of progeny in flies with different genotypes. We repeated all experiments three times. For SAS-6 and PLP intensities and BB length analysis, the number of BBs quantified for each genotype is N ≥ 108 (54 pairs of BBs) and N ≥ 128, respectively. The total number of males used for each histogram bar is N ≥ 10. Notably, given that moderate overexpression of PACT domain (using polyUbiquitin promoter) in the plp mutant fly fails to rescue the observed centriole as well as behavior defects of the mutant (Martinez-Campos et al., 2004), we used RFP::PACT to study the sperm basal bodies in the knockdown experiments. Scale bars in (B) and (D) represent 10 and 1 µm, respectively. Means ± s.d are shown in red (ns-not significant, ***p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test).

SAS-6 interacts with the calmodulin binding domain within PACT.
(A) Graphical representations of the calmodulin (CaM)-binding domains (CBD1 and CBD2) within the multiple sequence alignment of the PACT domain of pericentrin proteins in the indicated species. CBD1 and CBD2 are marked with red squares. In yellow, minimal fragment containing both CBD1 and CBD2 (hereafter called CBD and used for subsequent experiments). The sequences of the PACT domain were aligned using Clustal Omega multiple sequence alignment tool and visually represented using Jalview software (McWilliam et al., 2013; Waterhouse et al., 2009). The alignments are color-coded in shades of blue for the percentage identity of amino acids; darkest blue (>80%), mid blue (>60%), light blue (>40%), white (<=40%). (B) Complex formation between SAS-6, the highly conserved CBD within PACT domain and calmodulin. Protein extract was prepared from the D.Mel cells expressing SAS6-EGFP or EGFP, HA-tagged CBD and Myc-tagged calmodulin. The GFP-tagged proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibody. Immunoprecipitates and inputs (20%) were analyzed by western blotting using the indicated antibodies. (C) Schematic representation of the ancestral role of the PCM in recruiting centriole proteins, centriole biogenesis and elongation. When SAS-6 was heterologously expressed in fission yeast cells, it localized to the SPB through interaction with Pcp1/pericentrin (upper panel). This revealed a novel interaction between SAS-6 and pericentrin in animals, which is important for centriole biogenesis (lower panel). It is likely that SAS-6 is recruited to the pre-existing centriole prior to new centriole formation by two complementary pathways: PLK4-STIL/Ana2 and pericentrin. Eventhough yeast and animals are separated by one billion years of evolution, the pericentrin/Pcp1-SAS-6 interaction surface has been conserved, likely because the binding of pericentrin to calmodulin constrained its evolution.

Intensity of Sid4 is increased in the pcp1 mutant.
(A-F) Quantification of the intensity of the centriole proteins and Sid4-tdTomato per SPB in the indicated conditions. B, D and F correspond to A, C, and E.Means ± s.d. are shown in red (ns-not significant, * p<0.05, ** p<0.001, *** p<0.0001, Mann-Whitney U test).
