Abstract
Proteomic studies in unicellular eukaryotes identified a set of centriolar proteins that included proteome of centriole 1 (Poc1). Functional studies in these organisms implicated Poc1 in centriole duplication and length control, as well as ciliogenesis. Using isoform-specific antibodies and RNAi depletion, we have examined the function of the two related human proteins, Poc1A and Poc1B. We find that Poc1A and Poc1B each localize to centrioles and spindle poles, but do so independently and with different dynamics. However, although loss of one or other Poc1 protein does not obviously disrupt mitosis, depletion of both proteins leads to defects in spindle organization with the generation of unequal or monopolar spindles. Our data indicate that, once incorporated, a fraction of Poc1A and Poc1B remains stably associated with parental centrioles, but that depletion prevents incorporation into nascent centrioles. Nascent centrioles lacking both Poc1A and Poc1B exhibit loss of integrity and maturation, and fail to undergo duplication. Thus, when Poc1A and Poc1B are co-depleted, new centrosomes capable of maturation cannot assemble and unequal spindles result. Interestingly, Poc1B, but not Poc1A, is phosphorylated in mitosis, and depletion of Poc1B alone was sufficient to perturb cell proliferation. Hence, Poc1A and Poc1B play redundant, but essential, roles in generation of stable centrioles, but Poc1B may have additional independent functions during cell cycle progression.
