APC/Fizzy-Related targets Aurora-A kinase for proteolysis.

Résumé

Aurora-A kinase is a mitotic spindle-pole-associated protein that has been implicated in duplication and separation of centrosomes and in spindle assembly. The proper timing and amplitude of Aurora-A expression seems to be important, as elevated levels of this protein have been associated with centrosome abnormalities and aneuploidy in mammalian cells. We show that Aurora-A increases at the G2-M transistion and disappears completely at G1 in XL2 cells. Using Xenopus oocyte extracts, we demonstrate that degradation of Aurora-A is mediated by the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) and is regulated by Fizzy-Related but not by Fizzy. Degradation of Aurora-A depends on a D-Box, but not on its KEN-Box motif, as mutation of its C-terminal D-Box sequence induces stabilization of the protein. Accordingly, addition into the extracts of a cyclin B-type D-Box-motif-containing peptide completely suppresses its degradation. Furthermore, APC/Fizzy-Related ubiquitylates the wild type but not a D-Box mutant form of Aurora-A in vitro. Consistent with these data, ectopic expression of Fizzy-Related in Xenopus oocytes induces complete degradation of endogenous Aurora-A. Aurora-A is thus the first protein, at least in our assay system, that undergoes a D-Box-dependent degradation mediated by APC/Fizzy-Related but not by APC/Fizzy.
