Although both NPCs and SPBs are embedded in the nuclear envelope (NE) in yeast, their known functions are quite distinct. Previous work demonstrated that NDC1 function is required for proper SPB duplication (Winey, M., M.A. Hoyt, C. Chan, L. Goetsch, D. Botstein, and B. Byers. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 122:743-751). Here, we show that Ndc1p is a membrane protein of the NE that localizes to both NPCs and SPBs. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy shows that Ndc1p displays punctate, nuclear peripheral localization that colocalizes with a known NPC component, Nup49p. Additionally, distinct spots of Ndc1p localization colocalize with a known SPB component, Spc42p. Immunoelectron microscopy shows that Ndc1p localizes to the regions of NPCs and SPBs that interact with the NE. The NPCs in ndc1-1 mutant cells appear to function normally at the nonpermissive temperature. Finally, we have found that a deletion of POM152, which encodes an abundant but nonessential nucleoporin, suppresses the SPB duplication defect associated with a mutation in the NDC1 gene. We show that Ndc1p is a shared component of NPCs and SPBs and propose a shared function in the assembly of these organelles into the NE.GeneNDC1GeneNDC1GenePOM152GeneNDC1ExperimentalMethod0416Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy shows that Ndc1p displays punctate, nuclear peripheral localization that colocalizes with a known NPC component, Nup49p.ChemicalPOM152ChemicalnucleoporinSpecies4932Saccharomyces854977GeneNDC1Species4932yeast854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1p852703GeneNup49p854977GeneNdc1p853824GeneSpc42p854977GeneNdc1p855159GenePOM152854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNdc1p0.080469183PPImentionAdditionally, distinct spots of Ndc1p localization colocalize with a known SPB component, Spc42p1.0005858PPImentionFinally, we have found that a deletion of POM152, which encodes an abundant but nonessential nucleoporin, suppresses the SPB duplication defect associated with a mutation in the NDC1 geneparagraph1487The nuclear envelope (NE)1 remains intact throughout all stages of the cell cycle in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two organelles, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and spindle pole bodies (SPBs), are embedded within the NE. Beyond their common localization to the NE, these organelles have not been thought of previously as related structures.Species4932yeastSpecies4932Saccharomyces cerevisiaeparagraph1847NPCs are macromolecular structures that function as the sole means by which molecules are exchanged between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. NPCs display eightfold symmetry, and are embedded within reflexed membrane pores in the NE. More than 30 NPC-associated proteins have been identified in S. cerevisiae using a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches (reviewed in Doye and Hurt, 1997; Wente et al., 1997). Mutations in NPC components can affect nuclear transport, NPC distribution, NE morphology, and even spindle morphology.Species4932S. cerevisiaeparagraph2390Pom152p was identified biochemically as a transmembrane glycoprotein that localizes to yeast NPCs (Wozniak et al., 1994). Although POM152 encodes one of the most abundant NPC components, this gene is not essential in yeast. However, POM152 becomes essential when the null allele is combined with mutations in a number of genes that encode NPC components (Aitchison et al., 1995b; Nehrbass et al., 1996). Pom152p localizes to the yeast NPC membrane ring structure (Strambio-de-Castillia et al., 1995; Yang et al., 1998).GenePOM152GenePOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152855159GenePom152pSpecies4932yeast855159GenePOM152Species4932yeast855159GenePOM152855159GenePom152pSpecies4932yeastparagraph2918SPBs are estimated to be 20 times larger than NPCs in diploid yeast cells (Bullitt et al., 1997). The SPB functions as the centrosome equivalent organelle in yeast, serving as the sole microtubule organizing center of the cell (reviewed in Snyder, 1994; Winsor and Schiebel, 1997). The SPB is embedded in the NE where it nucleates both cytoplasmic and nuclear microtubules. Yeast cells contain a single SPB at the beginning of G1 that must be precisely duplicated once during each cell cycle to form the two poles of the mitotic spindle. Several genes have been identified in which mutations affect specific steps in SPB duplication (reviewed in Winey and Byers, 1993).Species4932yeastSpecies4932yeastSpecies4932Yeastparagraph3595The S. cerevisiae NDC1 gene has been shown to function at a late step in SPB duplication (Winey et al., 1993). Although SPB duplication is initiated in ndc1-1 strains at the nonpermissive temperature, the newly synthesized SPB is not inserted into the NE. The defective SPB remains on the cytoplasmic face of the NE where it nucleates cytoplasmic microtubules, but it fails to nucleate nuclear microtubules. The preexisting SPB is functional in these cells, and all of the chromosomes remain associated with it. Thus, ndc1-1 cells arrest with large buds and a G2 DNA content in response to their monopolar spindles. Eventually, these cells undergo asymmetric cell division in which all of their chromosomal DNA segregates with the single, functional SPB; as a result, one cell doubles in ploidy and the other cell lacks chromosomal DNA (Thomas and Botstein, 1986). NDC1 encodes an essential 74-kD protein with six to seven potential transmembrane domains (Winey et al., 1993). Previous attempts to examine Ndc1p localization using overexpressed protein revealed perinuclear staining (Winey et al., 1993).GeneNDC1GeneNDC1Species4932S. cerevisiae854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNdc1pparagraph4712We show here that Ndc1p expressed at endogenous levels localizes to both NPCs and SPBs.

The chromosomal copy of NDC1 was epitope tagged at its 3' end by creating an in-frame fusion to the IgG binding domains of protein A (ProA) as described by Aitchison et al. (1995a). NDC1-ProA strains grew at all temperatures ranging from 15 to 37 C and exhibited stable ploidy. The ndc1-1, pom152 null strain [HC5-31c(1166); Table I] was constructed by replacing the entire POM152 open reading frame, plus an additional 163 bp after the stop codon, with the HIS3 gene (Baudin et al., 1993). NDC1-ProA strains containing NUP49-GFP (HC26-15a/1a; Table I) were constructed by crossing a NDC1-ProA strain to yeast strain SWY809 (Bucci and Wente, 1997) that contains nup49-1::URA3 and nup49DeltaGFLG::GFP-S65T-TRP1. Strains containing NDC1-ProA, NUP49-GFP, and the nup133 null allele (HC27-16d/16b; Table I) were constructed by crossing a NDC1-ProA strain to yeast strain SWY828 (Bucci and Wente, 1998) that contains nup133Delta::HIS3, nup49-1::URA3, and nup49DeltaGFLG::GFP-S65T-TRP1. A yeast strain containing NIC96-ProA was constructed as described by Aitchison et al. (1995a). Yeast strains containing either NDC1-ProA or NIC96-ProA with SPC42-GFP (HC22-2b/1c and HC23-11d/16a, respectively) were constructed by crossing to yeast strain IAY18 (a kind gift from Ian Adams and John Kilmartin) that contains spc42Delta::LEU2 and TRP1::SPC42-GFP(3x) (Schutz and Winey, 1998). Yeast strain HC14-10c(1198)/HC29-6b is homozygous for two different null alleles of NDC1; the entire NDC1 open reading frame was removed in both cases. The ndc1Delta::HIS3 null allele was made by integrative transformation of a PCR product containing the HIS3 gene (Baudin et al., 1993). The ndc1Delta:: KANMX null allele was constructed using a two-step gene disruption technique (Rothstein, 1991); in this case, the NDC1 open reading frame was replaced with the KANMX gene (Wach et al., 1994).

We used strains that contain both NDC1-ProA and an allele of NUP49 that is epitope-tagged with the Aequorea victoria GFP (Bucci and Wente, 1997). When Ndc1p-ProA was indirectly labeled with Texas red, we observed colocalization with Nup49p-GFP signal (Fig. 1 B). It is important that this colocalization relied on the autofluorescence of Nup49p-GFP, because the ProA epitope on Ndc1p can cross-react with any other antibody used for double immunolabeling. We also examined this colocalization in a nup133 null strain in which NPCs become clustered (Doye et al., 1994; Pemberton et al., 1995). Ndc1p-ProA localization became clustered and colocalized with clusters of Nup49p-GFP signal in this strain (Fig. 1 C), suggesting that Ndc1p-ProA localizes to NPCs and not merely to the NE. Occasionally, we observed either one or two additional bright spots of Ndc1p-ProA staining that did not colocalize with Nup49p-GFP signal (see below).Gene4415NUP49GeneNup49p-GFP852703GeneNup49p854868,852199,853016,856842,853957,852703,853808GeneNUP49854977GeneNdc1p854868,852199,853016,856842,853957,852703,853808Genenup133paragraph16790We also carried out biochemical fractionation experiments to isolate NPCs and NEs from strains that contain Ndc1p-ProA. In both cases, Ndc1p-ProA cofractionated with the known NPC marker, Pom152p (Fig. 2, A and B). We also examined these fractions using monoclonal antibodies recognizing numerous repeat motif-containing nucleoporins (Wente et al., 1997) and observed similar fractionation patterns (data not shown). Hydrophobicity plots of Ndc1p predict that it contains six to seven transmembrane domains (Winey et al., 1993). We extracted the NE fraction with carbonate to test whether Ndc1p-ProA behaves as an integral membrane protein. After centrifugation, soluble NPC components, such as Nup57p, were extracted by carbonate (Fig. 2 C). In contrast, Pom152p, a known integral membrane protein of the NE, remained in the pellet (Fig. 2 C). Ndc1p-ProA was not extracted from the NE by carbonate treatment (Fig. 2 C), suggesting that it is an integral membrane protein of the NE. Therefore, in combination with the whole cell IF localization data, these results indicate that Ndc1p-ProA is an integral membrane protein of NPCs.

This analysis was difficult because both NPCs and SPBs localize to the NE, and cells contain either one or two SPBs in the midst of 100-150 NPCs. We addressed this question using several experimental approaches. We used a biochemical fractionation technique to isolate SPBs from cells containing Ndc1p-ProA (Rout and Kilmartin, 1990). Immunoblotting of isolated fractions showed that Ndc1p-ProA partially cofractionated with SPBs (Fig. 2 A). However, one concern about these fractionation experiments was the heavy contamination of NPCs in the SPB fraction, making it difficult to distinguish the fractionation pattern of a protein that was only in the NPC from that observed for Ndc1p-ProA.GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNdc1p1.0005858PPImentionBecause NDC1 function is required for proper SPB duplication, we tested whether Ndc1p also localizes to SPBsparagraph18781Therefore, we used whole cell indirect IF deconvolution microscopy to test whether any of the distinct spots of Ndc1p staining colocalize with signal from a known SPB component. This high-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique could potentially resolve SPB- and NPC-associated signals in the yeast NE. We used a strain that contains both NDC1-ProA and SPC42-GFP in these experiments. SPC42 encodes an essential SPB component that forms a crystalline layer between the central and outer plaque of the SPB (Rout and Kilmartin, 1991; Donaldson and Kilmartin, 1996; Bullitt et al., 1997). Additionally, we used a strain that contains both NIC96-ProA and SPC42-GFP as a negative control to ensure that overlapping signal was not merely due to a lack of resolution. Nic96p is known to localize to NPCs (Grandi et al., 1993), but it has been characterized extensively and is unlikely to localize to SPBs as well (Grandi et al., 1993; Aitchison et al., 1995b; Grandi et al., 1995; Zabel et al., 1996; Schlaich et al., 1997; Ho et al., 1998).Gene10855SPC42Gene10277SPBsExperimentalMethod0416Therefore, we used whole cell indirect IF deconvolution microscopy to test whether any of the distinct spots of Ndc1p staining colocalize with signal from a known SPB component.

We observed a distinct spot of Ndc1p-ProA staining that colocalized with Spc42p-GFP signal in 91% of the SPBs examined (n = 63) (Fig. 3 A). In contrast, Nic96p-ProA staining did not exhibit colocalization with Spc42p-GFP signal in 82% of the SPBs examined (n = 51) (Fig. 3 B). Both Ndc1p and Nic96p contained the ProA epitope tag, allowing us to use the same antibodies to detect their localization. Additionally, the localization of Spc42p-GFP was visualized using GFP autofluorescence and therefore did not rely on potentially cross-reacting antibodies. 854977GeneNdc1p850552GeneNic96p854977GeneGFP0.080469183PPImentionBoth Ndc1p and Nic96p contained the ProA epitope tag, allowing us to use the same antibodies to detect their localizationparagraph20480As described earlier, when examining the colocalization of Ndc1p-ProA with Nup49p-GFP in a NPC clustering mutant strain, we occasionally observed either one or two distinct spots of Ndc1p-ProA staining that did not overlap with Nup49p-GFP signal (Fig. 3 C). It is likely that these additional spots of Ndc1p-ProA staining correspond to SPB localization. Previous work demonstrated that the SPB often localizes within NPC clusters (Heath et al., 1995), explaining why we observed extra spots of Ndc1p-ProA staining only occasionally.paragraph21021Finally, we examined the localization of Ndc1p-GFP in living cells. Although these cells displayed punctate nuclear peripheral localization of Ndc1p-GFP signal, they also contained either one or two intense spots of Ndc1p-GFP signal (Fig. 4 A). We propose that these bright spots correspond to SPB localization based on three criteria. First, SPBs are estimated to be 20 times larger than NPCs in diploid yeast cells (Bullitt et al., 1997), explaining why the signal might appear larger and brighter. Second, we observed either one or two bright spots of Ndc1p-GFP signal, corresponding to the number of SPBs normally found in cells. Finally, the bright spots were present at positions in the cell that are consistent with SPB localization. For example, the late mitotic cells displayed a bright spot at each end of the NE, where the SPBs are normally located. These bright spots were present in all of the cells we examined, suggesting that Ndc1p-GFP is associated with the SPB at all stages of the cell cycle.

These experiments were carried out using a yeast strain that contains NDC1-GFP. Consistent with previous data, we observed immunogold labeling, corresponding to the localization of Ndc1p-GFP, at both NPCs and SPBs using this technique. Immunogold labeling was most often seen at the periphery of the NPCs (Fig. 4 B) and at the edges of the central plaque of the SPB (Fig. 4 C); these are the regions of NPCs and SPBs that interact with the NE. A similar localization was found for Ndc1p-ProA in biochemically isolated SPBs from the Ndc1p-ProA-containing strain using immunoelectron microscopy (data not shown).854977GeneNdc1pSpecies4932yeast854977GeneNDC1854977GeneGFPtitle_223036ndc1-1 Strains Do Not Exhibit Defects in NPC Functionsparagraph23091A role for Ndc1p at SPBs has been established clearly (Winey et al., 1993); however, the localization of Ndc1p to NPCs was quite unexpected. We carried out assays to determine whether Ndc1p plays a role in NPC function. We tested whether ndc1-1 cells exhibit defects in NPC-related functions at the nonpermissive temperature. ndc1-1 strains arrest as large budded cells with a G2 DNA content after a shift to the nonpermissive temperature (Thomas and Botstein, 1986; Winey et al., 1993). This arrest indicates that NDC1 function, at least with respect to SPB duplication, has been lost (Winey et al., 1993). We examined NPC phenotypes at this arrest to ensure that ndc1-1 function was minimal.Gene10277SPBsGeneNDC1854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNDC1paragraph23794We did not detect any defects in nuclear protein import in ndc1-1 strains after inducing the expression of histone H2B1 as a nuclear localization signal (NLS) fused to GFP (pJON280; Schlenstedt et al., 1995) at the ndc1-1 arrest (data not shown). Because the H2B1p-GFP fusion protein was detectable in ndc1-1 cells at the arrest, it seemed likely that its corresponding mRNA was properly synthesized and exported from the nucleus. We carried out a similar experiment using the same yeast strains transformed with a different plasmid containing a NLS derived from the yeast ribosomal protein L29 fused to beta-galactosidase as a reporter expressed under the control of the GAL10 promoter (pNLS-E1; Underwood and Fried, 1990). Induced protein levels were detected by immunoblotting, and beta-galactosidase expression was similar in both ndc1-1 and wild-type cells (data not shown), indicating that mRNA export was likely to be occurring properly at the ndc1-1 arrest. Finally, we examined NPC clustering, a phenotype observed when specific nucleoporins are mutated or deleted (Doye et al., 1994; Aitchison et al., 1995a; Heath et al., 1995; Pemberton et al., 1995). We did not observe any clustering of NPCs in ndc1-1 strains using Nic96p localization as a marker for NPCs (Grandi et al., 1993) (data not shown).GeneH2B1p-GFPGene1081679beta-galactosidaseGene119197GAL10 promoterGene1081679beta-galactosidaseChemicalnucleoporins854977GeneGFP854977GeneGFPSpecies4932yeastSpecies4932yeast852307GeneGAL10850552GeneNic96pparagraph25120Because ndc1-1 cells are defective in the assembly of their new SPB into the NE, we examined whether ndc1-1 cells also exhibit defects in the assembly of newly synthesized NPCs into the NE. We tested whether ndc1-1 strains properly assemble an epitope-tagged version of Nic96p into their NE at the ndc1-1 arrest. Wild-type or ndc1-1 strains were transformed with a plasmid that contains NIC96-ProA expressed under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter. Thus, any ProA signal observed was due to induced Nic96p-ProA expression. These cells did contain their endogenous untagged chromosomal copy of NIC96, because this gene is essential (Grandi et al., 1993). Transformed yeast strains were shifted to the nonpermissive temperature of 15 C, and NIC96-ProA expression was induced at the ndc1-1 arrest (Fig. 5, 18h). The fusion protein was present throughout the cell as seen by indirect IF microscopy after 12 h of induction (Fig. 5, 30h). We then added glucose to the cultures to turn off further expression of Nic96p-ProA, allowing us to test whether the induced protein was assembled into NPCs. Nic96p-ProA was properly assembled into the NE in both wild-type and ndc1-1 cells (Fig. 5, 34h).

We determined the number of NPCs in individual nuclei by generating computer-aided reconstructions of whole nuclei from electron micrographs of serially sectioned cells. The defective SPB in ndc1-1 cells is still capable of nucleating cytoplasmic MTs, allowing it to migrate and carry with it a thin finger of NE (Winey et al., 1993). This deformed NE is difficult to follow through serial sections. The tub2-403 allele is a cold-sensitive mutation in beta-tubulin (Huffaker et al., 1988) that prevents the defective ndc1-1 SPB from migrating (Winey, M., unpublished observation). We used a ndc1-1, tub2-403 double mutant strain (Wx340-3c; Table I) for this analysis, and a strain containing the tub2-403 allele alone (Wx340-3d; Table I) as a control for mitotically arrested cells (Huffaker et al., 1988).Gene130530beta-tubulinMESH:C525526ChemicalWx340MESH:C525526ChemicalWx340paragraph27344Samples were prepared as previously described (Winey et al., 1997) to directly count the number of NPCs in three nuclei from each strain after a shift to the nonpermissive temperature. Nuclei from the tub2-403 cells contained 162, 179, and 232 NPCs, and nuclei from the ndc1-1, tub2-403 double mutant cells contained 180, 193, and 209 NPCs. The maximum number of NPCs observed in wild-type cells occurs in early mitosis, with an average of 142 +- 16.4 NPCs (Winey et al., 1997). Our analysis demonstrated that both strains contained more NPCs than observed in wild-type cells at any point in the cell cycle, indicating that NPC assembly continues to occur when these cells are arrested.title_228041A Deletion of POM152 Suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB Duplication DefectGenePOM152ChemicalPOM152855159GenePOM152paragraph28108To define a potential functional role for Ndc1p in NPCs, we examined genetic interactions between NDC1 and POM152. We were particularly interested in POM152 because it encodes an integral membrane protein that localizes to the pore membrane domain of NPCs (Wozniak et al., 1994). Although POM152 encodes an abundant nucleoporin, this gene is not essential. We initially examined potential synthetic lethal interactions between ndc1-1 and the pom152 null allele, but no synthetic lethality was observed when these two mutations were combined.GeneNDC1GenePOM152GenePOM152GenePOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalnucleoporinChemicalpom152854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNDC1855159GenePOM152855159GenePOM152855159GenePOM152855159Genepom1520.080469183PPImentionTo define a potential functional role for Ndc1p in NPCs, we examined genetic interactions between NDC1 and POM152paragraph28655Unexpectedly, we found that the pom152 null allele suppressed the ndc1-1 cold-sensitive phenotype. ndc1-1 strains containing the pom152 null allele were able to grow on plates incubated at 15 C, the nonpermissive temperature for ndc1-1 (Fig. 6 A). This suppression was due specifically to a loss of POM152, because when a plasmid-borne copy of POM152 was reintroduced into the double mutant strain, the ndc1-1 cold-sensitive phenotype was restored (Fig. 6 A). Additionally, this suppression is specific for the ndc1-1 allele, because the pom152 null allele could not function as a bypass suppressor of the ndc1 null allele (data not shown).

We tested whether the deletion of POM152 suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect in the first cell cycle after a shift to the nonpermissive temperature. Cells were arrested in G1 at the permissive temperature using alpha-factor, and released into prechilled media at the nonpermissive temperature for ndc1-1. Wild-type cells synchronously released from the G1 arrest, completed the cell cycle, and eventually became asynchronous (Fig. 6 B). In contrast, ndc1-1 cells synchronously released from the G1 arrest, but then arrested with a G2 DNA content and large buds due to failed SPB duplication in the first cell cycle (Fig. 6 B). The ndc1-1, pom152 null double mutant strains did not exhibit the ndc1-1 cell cycle arrest; they appeared similar to the wild-type cultures (Fig. 6 B). We conclude that the pom152 null allele suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect in the first cell cycle.GeneNDC1GenePOM152GeneFig. 6 BGeneFig. 6 BChemicalPOM152Chemicalpom152Chemicalpom152854977GeneNDC1855159GenePOM152855159Genepom152855159Genepom152title_130385Discussionparagraph30396Two organelles, SPBs and NPCs, interrupt the NE and allow communication and coordination to occur between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Although these organelles differ greatly in their characterized functions, our findings suggest that they may be more similar than previously thought; we show here that the integral membrane protein Ndc1p localizes to both SPBs and NPCs, the first such shared component identified. Endogenous Ndc1p was identified biochemically as a constituent of highly enriched yeast NPCs, and IF microscopy demonstrated that Ndc1p colocalized with a known nucleoporin.Chemicalnucleoporin854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1pSpecies4932yeast854977GeneNdc1pparagraph30996We were interested in determining whether Ndc1p also localizes to SPBs because ndc1-1 cells exhibit defects in SPB duplication (Winey et al., 1993). SPBs are greatly outnumbered by NPCs in the NE, making it difficult to assess whether signal observed is specific to SPBs. We were able to distinguish between NPC and SPB signal using indirect IF deconvolution microscopy of whole cells. We identified distinct spots of Ndc1p signal that colocalized with a SPB marker. Control experiments using an abundant NPC component showed little colocalization with the SPB marker, indicating that NPCs and SPBs could be resolved. This suggests that Ndc1p is associated with the SPB, consistent with the SPB duplication defect observed in ndc1-1 mutant strains.854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNdc1pparagraph31755However, SPBs and NPCs are most clearly distinguished by using electron microscopy. Examination of Ndc1p- GFP localization using immunoelectron microscopy showed that immunogold labeling, corresponding to Ndc1p-GFP, was concentrated at both NPCs and SPBs. The distribution of immunogold particles at the periphery of NPCs and at the edges of the central plaque region of the SPB showed that Ndc1p-GFP often localized to the regions of the NPC and SPB that interact with the NE. Ultrastructural analysis of the yeast NPC shows that this organelle contains a unique membrane interacting ring (Strambio-de-Castillia et al., 1995; Yang et al., 1998). It is possible that the SPB contains a similar membrane interacting domain. Our results suggest that Ndc1p is a shared component of the membrane interacting regions of NPCs and SPBs.GeneNdc1p-GFPExperimentalMethod0040However, SPBs and NPCs are most clearly distinguished by using electron microscopy.854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneGFPSpecies4932yeast854977GeneNdc1pparagraph32594Interestingly, the cut11+ gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, like NDC1, encodes a protein with seven potential membrane spanning regions, and mutations in cut11+ affect SPB function (West et al., 1998). Cut11p also localizes to NPCs and SPBs, and cut11+ and NDC1 also show limited functional homology (West et al., 1998). However, a function for Cut11p at NPCs has not been determined.GeneNDC1GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1paragraph32984A function for Ndc1p at the SPB has been established clearly from previous work; ndc1-1 cells fail to insert their newly synthesized SPB into the NE at the nonpermissive temperature (Winey et al., 1993). We do not observe any defects in nuclear transport, in NPC distribution, or in NPC assembly at the nonpermissive temperature using the existing ndc1-1 allele (Thomas and Botstein, 1986). It is possible that new mutant alleles of NDC1 will uncover NPC related phenotypes. Studies of NDC1 gene dosage show that the ndc1-1 allele does not exhibit a complete loss of function at the nonpermissive temperature (Chial, H.J., unpublished observation). Several NPC components are not essential, suggesting that many nucleoporins carry out redundant functions. It is possible that other NPC components will have to be disrupted before a NPC-related function for NDC1 will be uncovered. NDC1 may perform a similar role for NPCs as has been established for SPBs, possibly being involved in their assembly into the NE.Gene10277SPBGeneNDC1GeneNDC1GeneNDC1GeneNDC1Chemicalnucleoporins854977GeneNdc1p854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1854977GeneNDC1paragraph34012Although little is known about how yeast NPCs are assembled into the NE, studies of the NIC96 gene of S. cerevisiae have shown that it is involved in the formation of NPCs. Cells containing a conditional mutation in NIC96 exhibited decreased numbers of NPCs after exposure to the nonpermissive temperature (Zabel et al., 1996). Recently, a vertebrate homologue of NIC96, called NUP93, was identified (Grandi et al., 1997). After immunodepletion of Nup93p in a Xenopus nuclear reconstitution assay, the nuclei exhibited defects in NPC assembly (Grandi et al., 1997). Yeast Nic96p has been shown both in vivo and in vitro to be associated with a NPC subcomplex that contains Nsp1p, Nup49p, and Nup57p, which can be assembled into NPCs (Grandi et al., 1993; Grandi et al., 1995; Schlaich et al., 1997). Additionally, synthetic lethal interactions have been identified between mutant alleles of NIC96, NUP188, and POM152 (Aitchison et al., 1995b; Nehrbass et al., 1996; Zabel et al., 1996).Gene224119NIC96Gene224119NIC96Gene4415NUP93Gene4415Nup93pGene461059Nsp1pGene4415Nup49pGene224119NIC96Gene4415NUP188GenePOM152ChemicalNIC96ChemicalNUP188ChemicalPOM152Species4932yeast850552GeneNIC96Species4932S. cerevisiae850552GeneNIC96850552GeneNIC96854868,852199,853016,856842,853957,852703,853808GeneNUP93Species8355XenopusSpecies4932Yeast850552GeneNic96p853409GeneNsp1p852703GeneNup49p853016GeneNup57p850552GeneNIC96854868,852199,853016,856842,853957,852703,853808GeneNUP188855159GenePOM1520.080469183PPImentionRecently, a vertebrate homologue of NIC96, called NUP93, was identified (Grandi et al., 1997)1.0005858PPImentionYeast Nic96p has been shown both in vivo and in vitro to be associated with a NPC subcomplex that contains Nsp1p, Nup49p, and Nup57p, which can be assembled into NPCs (Grandi et al., 1993; Grandi et al., 1995; Schlaich et al., 1997)0.080469183PPImentionAdditionally, synthetic lethal interactions have been identified between mutant alleles of NIC96, NUP188, and POM152 (Aitchison et al., 1995b; Nehrbass et al., 1996; Zabel et al., 1996)paragraph35009Until now, only synthetic lethal interactions have been observed when the pom152 null allele is combined with mutations in a number of NPC components (Aitchison et al., 1995b; Nehrbass et al., 1996). We report that the removal of Pom152p, one of the most abundant NPC components, strongly suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect. In fact, this deletion suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect within the first cell cycle after a shift to the nonpermissive temperature. Because a function for Ndc1p at NPCs has not been determined, we do not know if the suppression of ndc1-1 by the pom152 null allele has any functional consequence for NPCs. Nonetheless, this suppression lends support to the idea that SPBs and NPCs are somehow linked, perhaps in some mechanistic way beyond shared components.Chemicalpom152Chemicalpom152855159Genepom152855159GenePom152p854977GeneNdc1p855159Genepom1521.0005858PPImentionBecause a function for Ndc1p at NPCs has not been determined, we do not know if the suppression of ndc1-1 by the pom152 null allele has any functional consequence for NPCsparagraph35824The mechanism by which the pom152 null allele suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect is not known, but it appears as if wild-type POM152 is antagonistic in ndc1-1 strains. To further understand this interaction, it will be necessary to learn whether Pom152p, in addition to its localization to NPCs, also localizes to SPBs. Although the POM152 gene is not essential, the overexpression of POM152 is toxic to yeast cells (Wozniak et al., 1994). We tested whether the toxicity associated with POM152 overexpression is due to a defect in SPB duplication, but we did not observe any SPB-related phenotypes in cells overexpressing POM152 (Chial, H.J., unpublished observation).Genepom152GenePOM152GenePOM152GenePOM152GenePOM152GenePOM152Chemicalpom152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152ChemicalPOM152855159Genepom152855159GenePOM152855159GenePom152p855159GenePOM152855159GenePOM152Species4932yeast855159GenePOM152855159GenePOM1521.0005858PPImentionThe mechanism by which the pom152 null allele suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect is not known, but it appears as if wild-type POM152 is antagonistic in ndc1-1 strainsparagraph36511If Pom152p localizes only to NPCs, it is possible that a deletion of this nonessential NPC component releases Ndc1-1p from NPCs, allowing it to function at the SPB. This idea is supported by our observation that providing haploid ndc1-1 cells with an additional chromosomally integrated copy of the ndc1-1 allele relieves the ndc1-1 cold-sensitive phenotype, suggesting that Ndc1-1p can function in SPB duplication if present at slightly elevated levels in the cell (Chial, H.J., unpublished observation). It is possible that Ndc1p and Pom152p may directly interact at NPCs, because immunoelectron microscopy shows that these two proteins localize to similar regions of the NPC (Wozniak et al., 1994), and both are membrane proteins. However, if Pom152p localizes to both NPCs and SPBs, it is possible that Pom152p at the SPB somehow interferes with the ability of mutant Ndc1-1p to function in the proper insertion of the newly synthesized SPB into the NE. In this case, the removal of Pom152p might allow Ndc1-1p to function more efficiently at the SPB.855159GenePom152p854977GeneNdc1p855159GenePom152p855159GenePom152p855159GenePom152p855159GenePom152p0.080469183PPImentionIt is possible that Ndc1p and Pom152p may directly interact at NPCs, because immunoelectron microscopy shows that these two proteins localize to similar regions of the NPC (Wozniak et al., 1994), and both are membrane proteinsparagraph37582Experiments presented here reveal a link between two NE-embedded organelles that are functionally quite different.

Ndc1p-ProA was indirectly labeled using an FITC-conjugated secondary antibody, and DNA was visualized using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. (B) Indirect IF deconvolution microscopy of yeast strain HC26-15a/1a (Table I) containing Ndc1p-ProA and Nup49p-GFP (Bucci and Wente, 1997). Ndc1p-ProA was indirectly labeled using a Texas red-conjugated secondary antibody, and Nup49p-GFP autofluorescence was detected using FITC filters. The combined image shows both Texas red (red) and GFP (green) signal (overlap = yellow). (C) Indirect IF deconvolution microscopy of Ndc1p-ProA localization and Nup49p-GFP localization in the presence of the nup133 null allele, which causes NPCs to cluster (HC27-16d/16b; Table I) (Doye et al., 1994; Pemberton et al., 1995). Ndc1p-ProA and Nup49p-GFP were detected as in B.

(A) Biochemical fractionation was carried out using a yeast strain that contains Ndc1p-ProA (ProA5-4d; Table I) (Rout and Kilmartin, 1990; Rout and Kilmartin, 1991; Rout and Blobel, 1993). Fractions containing nuclei, crude NPCs, SPBs, and enriched NPCs (E-NPCs) are labeled. Individual fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using antibodies to detect Pom152p, Ndc1p-ProA, or Spc110p. Pom152p is a NPC component (Wozniak et al., 1994), and Spc110p is a SPB component (Rout and Kilmartin, 1990; Kilmartin et al., 1993). Cell equivalents loaded were 1n for the left panels and 10n for the middle and right panels. (B) NEs were isolated from the Ndc1p-ProA yeast strain (ProA5-4d; Table I) using a previously described technique (Strambio-de-Castillia et al., 1995). Cell equivalents loaded were 1n for the left panels and 3n for the right panels. (C) Samples from the NE fraction were extracted with carbonate followed by centrifugation to determine whether Ndc1p-ProA was found in the supernatant (S) or in the membrane-containing pellet (P) (see Materials and Methods). Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using antibodies to detect Ndc1p-ProA, Pom152p, or Nup57p.Gene4415Nup57pCHEBI:8984ChemicalSDSCHEBI:41609ChemicalcarbonateCHEBI:8984ChemicalSDSSpecies4932yeast855159GenePom152p851957GeneSpc110p855159GenePom152p851957GeneSpc110pSpecies4932yeast855159GenePom152p853016GeneNup57p0.080469183PPImentionIndividual fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted using antibodies to detect Pom152p, Ndc1p-ProA, or Spc110p0.99921926PPImentionPom152p is a NPC component (Wozniak et al., 1994), and Spc110p is a SPB component (Rout and Kilmartin, 1990; Kilmartin et al., 1993)fig_caption42384Ndc1p-ProA localizes to SPBs in whole cells. (A) Indirect IF deconvolution microscopy of cells (HC22-2b/1c; Table I) containing Ndc1p-ProA and Spc42p-GFP. Ndc1p-ProA was detected using a Texas red-conjugated secondary antibody, and Spc42p-GFP was detected by means of GFP autofluorescence using FITC filters (see Materials and Methods). The combined image shows both Texas red (red) and FITC (green) signal (overlap = yellow). (B) Indirect IF deconvolution microscopy of cells containing Nic96p-ProA and Spc42p-GFP (HC23-11d/16a; Table I) serves as a negative control for A. Samples were prepared as in A. The combined image shows both Texas red (red) and FITC signal (green). (C) Indirect IF deconvolution microscopy to examine the colocalization of Ndc1p-ProA with Nup49p-GFP in a nup133 null strain that exhibits NPC clustering (HC27-16d/16b; Table I). Ndc1p-ProA was detected as in A, and Nup49p-GFP was detected using FITC filters. The combined image shows both Texas red (red) and FITC (green) signals (overlap = yellow). Shown here are examples of cells that contain either one or two extra spots of Ndc1p-ProA staining that do not colocalize with Nup49p-GFP signal.MESH:D016650ChemicalFITCMESH:D016650ChemicalFITCMESH:D016650ChemicalFITCMESH:D016650ChemicalFITCMESH:D016650ChemicalFITC854977GeneGFP854868,852199,853016,856842,853957,852703,853808Genenup133fig_caption43592Ndc1p-GFP localizes to the membrane interacting regions of NPCs and SPBs. Ndc1p-GFP localization was examined using a diploid strain that is homozygous for the ndc1 null allele and is transformed with a centromeric plasmid containing NDC1-GFP [HC14-10c (1198)/HC29-6b; Table I]. Ndc1p-GFP localization was observed in living cells using deconvolution fluorescence microscopy (A). Additionally, this localization was examined using immunoelectron microscopy of whole cells (see Materials and Methods). Immunogold labeling, corresponding to Ndc1p-GFP, was detected at the periphery of NPCs (B) and at the edges of the central plaque region of SPBs (C); these are the regions of NPCs and SPBs that interact with the NE.GeneNdc1p-GFPGeneNdc1p-GFPGeneNdc1p-GFPExperimentalMethod0416Ndc1p-GFP localization was observed in living cells using deconvolution fluorescence microscopy (A).

An assay to examine NPC assembly was carried out using either wild-type (WT) or ndc1-1 cells (HC10-42a/42d and HC10-42b/42c, respectively; Table I) transformed with a plasmid containing NIC96-ProA expressed under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter (pGAL-NIC96-ProA). Asynchronous cultures were shifted to 13.5 C for 18 h (18h); at this point, the ndc1-1 culture contained 80% large budded cells. NIC96-ProA expression was induced for 12 h (30h), followed by a glucose chase for 4 h to determine whether Nic96p-ProA was properly assembled into NPCs (34h). Nic96p-ProA localization was visualized using indirect IF microscopy with an FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (see Materials and Methods).ChemicalNIC96-ProAMESH:D005690ChemicalgalactoseChemicalNIC96-ProAChemicalNICChemicalNIC96-ProAMESH:D005947ChemicalglucoseMESH:D016650ChemicalFITCfig_caption45109Deletion of POM152 suppresses the ndc1-1 SPB duplication defect in the first cell cycle.

All strains containing pURA3-NDC1 were able to grow at the nonpermissive temperature. The ndc1-1 strain lacking pURA3-NDC1 failed to grow. However, the ndc1-1, pom152 null double mutant strain grew at 15 C when it contained the pLEU2 vector (*). When a plasmid-borne copy of POM152 (pLEU2-POM152) was reintroduced, the double mutant strain exhibited the ndc1-1 cold-sensitive phenotype (**).
