タイトル Role of Caenorhabditis elegans protein phosphatase type 1, CeGLC-7 beta, in metaphase to anaphase transition during embryonic development.
ジャーナル Exp Cell Res
Abstract In Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis, phosphorylation events are critical to chromosomal changes. To investigate the dephosphorylation of chromosome behavior, we cloned and characterized the cDNA that encodes C. elegans protein phosphatase type 1 (CeGLC-7 beta), which is composed of 333 amino acids. CeGLC-7 beta possesses a highly conserved amino acid sequence with mammalian and Drosophila protein phosphatase 1. Here, we report on the contribution of CeGLC-7 beta to the dephosphorylation of histone H3 at anaphase. At the embryonic stage, CeGLC-7 beta is associated with the nuclear membrane and chromosomes. The deletion of the Ceglc-7 beta gene and a microinjection of double-stranded RNA produce a disorganized embryogenesis. The Ceglc-7 beta gene mutation causes an abnormal accumulation of phosphorylated histone H3 and delays the mitotic process after anaphase. We propose that CeGLC-7 beta is involved in chromosome dynamics including histone H3 dephosphorylation.
