| Research Abstract |
GRASP65 is phosphorylated at S277 by cdc2/cyclin B and may participate in the regulation of mitotic entry. The role of GRASP65 S277 phosphorylation in cell cycle regulation was analyzed by two approaches. (1) Injection of recombinant GRASP65 G2A mutant, which cannot localize to the Golgi apparatus and accumulate in the cytoplasm, into the cells inhibited the phosphorylation of histone H3 in early prophase but not the centrosome separation. This result suggested that phosphorylation of histone H3 and centrosome separation are independently regulated at the onset of mitosis and S277 phosphorylation of GRASP65 may have some role in the regulation of those events. (2) Biochemical analyses revealed that Plk 1 binds to GRASP65 phosphorylated by mitotic e and this was dependent on the phosphorylation of S277. The binding is mediated by polo-box domain of Plk1. This result suggested that GRASP65 phosphorylated at S277 recruit Plk1 and function as a signaling scaffold at the onset of mitosis.
