Abstract: | DDA3 is a microtubule-associated protein that controls chromosome congression and segregation by regulating the mitotic spindle. Depletion of DDA3 alters spindle structure, generates unaligned chromosomes at metaphase, and delays the mitotic progression. Through a mass spectrometry analysis, we found that DDA3 is phosphorylated on Ser225 during mitosis. Phosphorylation of this residue is important for the mitotic function of DDA3, as the phospho-mimicking DDA3-S225D variant, but not the nonphosphorable DDA3-S225A mutant, rescues the DDA3-knockdown phenotype. We conclude that the mitotic function of DDA3 is regulated by phosphorylation on the Ser225 residue. |
