ESCRT-III controls LEM2 dynamics during nuclear envelope reformation.

(A) Cartoon depicting CHMP7 and LEM2 secondary structural elements. CHMP7 contains an ESCRT-II like N-terminus (NT) comprising tandem Winged Helix (WH) domains and a Membrane Binding Domain (MBD) required for ER localisation. Mitotically phosphorylated Serine residues identified in this manuscript are highlighted. LEM2 comprises an N-terminal LEM domain, a low-complexity domain (LCD) that has been shown to promote phase separation, two transmembrane (TM) domains that result in its insertion into the INM, and a C-terminal (CT) WH domain containing a region required for interaction with CHMP7 (415–485). (B) Resolved lysates from HeLa cells that had been transfected with the indicated siRNA were examined by western blotting with antibodies raised against CHMP7, IST1, LEM2, or HSP90, asterisk marks non-specific band. (C) HeLa cells stably expressing both GFP-CHMP7 and LEM2-mCh were imaged live during mitotic exit. Images representative of 4/4 (GFP-CHMP7, LEM2-mCh) Videos analysed. (D, E) HeLa cells stably expressing LEM2-mCh were treated with Control or CHMP7-targetting siRNAs and imaged live during mitotic exit. LEM2-mCh fluorescence levels in a region of interest (ROI) around the chromatin discs were quantified in E from 25 (Control) or 18 (CHMP7 siRNA-1) or 14 (CHMP7 siRNA-2) individually imaged cells acquired over three independent experiments, mean ± S.E.M. presented. Significance was calculated using a one-way ANOVA, with Dunnett’s post-hoc test, p < 0.0001 for both CHMP7 oligos compared to control siRNA. (F, G) HeLa cells stably expressing LEM2-mCh were treated with Control or CHMP7-targetting siRNA, fixed and processed for immunofluorescence. The number of cells displaying aberrant LEM2 clusters during cytokinesis or in interphase were quantified from 300 cells per condition, examined over three independent experiments and presented as mean ± S.E.M. (G). Significance was calculated using a 1-way ANOVA, with Dunnett’s post-hoc test; CHMP7 siRNA-1 p < 0.0001 (interphase), p = < 0.0001 (cytokinesis); CHMP7 siRNA-2 p = 0.0001 (interphase), p = < 0.0001 (cytokinesis); IST1 siRNA p = 0.456 (interphase, n.s.), p = 0.765 (cytokinesis, n.s.). In all panels, time in minutes and a scale bar of 10 μm are reported. (H, I) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-NLS and LEM2-mCh were transfected with the indicated siRNA and imaged live. The nucleocytoplasmic ratio was quantified from cells treated with the indicated siRNA from three independent experiments and presented as mean ± S.E.M. (control, 295 cells; CHMP7 siRNA-1, 315 cells; CHMP7 siRNA-2, 195 cells; IST1 siRNA 215 cells). In CHMP7-depleted cells, the population was split into those cells displaying smooth LEM2 at the NE (Sm.) or those in which the LEM2 was clustered (Clust.). Significant breakdown in nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalisation was observed in the population of CHMP7-depleted cells displaying clusters (p = <0.0001 for CHMP7 siRNA-1 or CHMP7 siRNA-2 compared to controls, one-way ANOVA, with Dunnett’s post-hoc test).

Activities within LEM2 controlling its assembly at the nuclear envelope.

(A) HeLa cells stably expressing LEM2-mCh or LEM2δLEM-mCh were lysed, resolved by SDS-PAGE and analysed by western blotting with anti-LEM2 or anti-GAPDH antisera endogenous LEM2, LEM2-mCh or LEM2δLEM-mCh indicated by arrow, open arrowhead or closed arrowhead, respectively. Alternatively, cells were imaged live. Images of LEM2δLEM-mCh representative of 35/40 cells. (B) Cells from A were imaged during mitosis. In addition to a failure to enrich at the reforming nuclear envelope, note the failure of LEM2δLEM-mCh to be retained at the INM (open arrowheads) relative to the peripheral ER (closed arrowheads). Images representative of 8/9 imaged cells. (C) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7 and LEM2δLEM-mCh were imaged live through mitosis. GFP channel presented in top row, mCh channel presented in middle row, merge presented in bottom row. Arrowheads indicated inappropriate extra-nuclear clustering of GFP-CHMP7 and LEM2δLEM-mCh. Note the limited NE enrichment of LEM2δLEM-mCh during nuclear envelope reformation and its sequestration in extranuclear clusters at the end of mitosis, rather than at the INM. (D) HeLa cells stably expressing LEM2-mCh or LEM2δ415-485-mCh were scored for nuclear morphology and LEM2 clustering defects. Mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments (LEM2-mCh, n = 775; LEM2δ415-485-mCh, n = 1009). Statistical differences between the two lines were analysed by an unpaired two-tailed T-test; nuclear envelope clusters, p = 0.0003; nuclear envelope folds, p = 0.0007.

Mapping mitotic phosphorylation of CHMP7 to Ser3 and Ser441.

(A) 293 T cells expressing the indicated GFP-CHMP7 constructs were cultured asynchronously or synchronised in prometaphase with STLC. GFP-tagged proteins were immunoprecipitated and examined by western blotting with antisera raised against GFP and the CDK1 substrate consensus sequence [K/H]-[pS]-[P]. N = 3. (B) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7 393-CT or GFP-CHMP7 393-CT S441A were cultured asynchronously or synchronised prometaphase with STLC, then were lysed, resolved by normal or PhosTag SDS-PAGE and examined by western blotting with antisera raised against GFP, pSer10 Histone H3 or GAPDH (N = 3). (C, D) 293 T cells expressing the indicated GFP-CHMP7NT proteins were cultured asynchronously or synchronised in prometaphase with STLC, then were lysed, resolved by normal or PhosTag SDS-PAGE and examined by western blotting with antisera raised against GFP or GAPDH (N = 3). In C, Ser/Thr containing mutants selected from a previously generated panel of alanine-scanning GFP-CHMP7NT mutations (Olmos et al., 2016) were assessed for a mobility shift in mitosis. Mobility shift was compromised by M1, M27, and M28, although M27 and M28 were poorly expressed. M1 encodes the mutations W2A, S3A, P4A, E5A; M27 encodes the mutations R106A, E107A, S108A, D109A; M28 encodes the mutations F110A, M111A, A112G, S113A. Individual mutations of S3A, S108A, and S113A from M1, M27, and M28 revealed the site of phosphorylation to be Ser 3 (D).

Additional quantification of the above parameters from HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7 (onset 16.9 ± 1.21 min; duration 3.3 ± 0.13 min; N = 3, n = 97) and subject to STLC arrest and RO3306 release (from Figure 4—figure supplement 1) and CAL-51 cells homozygously edited to express mNG-CHMP7 (onset 16.1 ± 2.02 min; duration 4.2 ± 2.19 min; N = 7, n = 39) and subject to nocodazole arrest and RO3306 release (from Figure 5—figure supplement 1) are also presented in C. A one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons revealed no significant differences between the datasets. (D). (E) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7NT (D) or GFP-CHMP7 (E) were either untreated or arrested in mitosis through STLC inhibition and forced out of mitosis using RO3306 for the indicated times. Lysates in D, reporting Ser3 dephosphorylation were resolved by PhosTag or normal SDS-PAGE and examined with antisera raised against GFP or GAPDH respectively. Lysates from E, reporting Ser441 dephosphorylation were immunoprecipitated using GFP-trap resin and both inputs and captured fractions were examined by western blotting with antisera raised against phosphorylated CDK1 substrates and GFP (N = 3). (F-H) CHMP7-depleted HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7R, GFP-CHMP7R S3A/S441A, or GFP-CHMP7R S3D/S441D were imaged live during mitotic exit (H). In F, the fold-enrichment of GFP-signal at the reforming nuclear envelope was calculated from three independent experiments, presented as mean (N = 3) ± S.E.M. (WT, n = 24; S3A/S441A, n = 27, n.s. (p = 0.92), S3D/S441D, n = 52, p = 0.049; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons). In G, the degree of furrow ingression (midzone diameter/daughter cell diameter) at the point of maximal GFP-CHMP7 recruitment was used as a proxy of progression through M-exit and was calculated from three independent experiments, presented as mean (N = 3) ± S.E.M.

In H, for cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7R S3A/S441A, arrowheads depict precocious clustering of CHMP7 in the peripheral ER during anaphase that develop into larger clusters during mitotic exit. In all panels, time in minutes and a scale bar of 10 μm are reported.

Figure 5—figure supplement 2
During M-exit, the nuclear-associated pool of CHMP7 is dephosphorylated in advance of the cytosolic/ER-associated pool.

(A) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7, either asynchronous or arrested at prometaphase with STLC and released from M-arrest for the indicated times with STLC were separated into chromatin-associated or non-chromatin-associated fractions. Fractions were resolved and examined by western blotting with antibodies raised against LAP1, GAPDH, or GFP. (B) Chromatin-associated or non-chromatin-associated fractions from the indicated timepoints were resolved by PhosTag SDS-PAGE and examined by western blotting with antisera raised against GFP. (C) Quantification of the phosphorylated fraction in B by densitometry (N = 4) revealed advanced dephosphorylation of the minor pool of CHMP7 associated with chromatin. (D) Lysates or GFP-trap immunoprecipitated fractions of HeLa cells stably expressing GFP, GFP-CHMP7, GFP-CHMP7 S3A, GFP-CHMP7 S441A, or GFP-CHMP7 S3A/S441A and cultured either asynchronously, or arrested in prometaphase with STLC, were resolved by SDS-PAGE and examined with antisera raised against GFP, or pSer3 CHMP7 (α−3891 or α−3892). Both α−3891 and α−3892 could detect Ser3-phosphorylated CHMP7 in M-phase extracts and captured fractions. (E) Asynchronous cultures of CAL-51 cells edited to homozygously express mNG-CHMP7 were stained with DAPI and antisera raised against pSer3 CHMP7 (α−3891 or α−3892). Both antibodies detected an extra-chromosomal signal in M-phase cells but also illuminated the nuclei of interphase cells, a staining which we deemed to be non-specific. (F, G) Control or CHMP7 siRNA treated CAL-51 mNG-CHMP7 cells were stained with antisera raised against pSer3 CHMP7 (α−3891 or α−3892) and the fluorescence intensity of the mitotic extra-chromosomal signal relative to the interphase nuclear signal was calculated. The M-phase extra-chromosomal signal reported by α−3891 was insensitive to CHMP7 depletion, whereas the signal reported by α−3892 was partially sensitive to CHMP7 depletion. We concluded that α−3892 was capable of detecting endogenous pSer3 CHMP7 in M-phase. (H) Asynchronous cultures of HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-CHMP7 were stained with α−3892, revealing a detectable signal on the mitotic ER that overlapped with GFP-CHMP7. (I) CAL-51 cells edited to homozygously express mNG-CHMP7 were stained with DAPI and α−3892. Whilst α−3892 illuminated all M-phase cells, the presence of α−3892 immunoreactivity coincident with enriched mNG-CHMP7 at the reforming nuclear envelope was observed in 0/100 cells. In all panels, scale bar is 10 μm.
