Abstract
Ninein is a centrosome protein that has been implicated in microtubule anchorage and centrosome cohesion. Mutations in the human NINEIN gene have been linked to Seckel syndrome and to a rare form of skeletal dysplasia. However, the role of ninein in skeletal development remains unknown. Here, we describe a ninein knockout mouse with advanced endochondral ossification during embryonic development. Although the long bones maintain a regular size, the absence of ninein delays the formation of the bone marrow cavity in the prenatal tibia. Likewise, intramembranous ossification in the skull is more developed, leading to a premature closure of the interfrontal suture. We demonstrate that ninein is strongly expressed in osteoclasts of control mice, and that its absence reduces the fusion of precursor cells into syncytial osteoclasts, whereas the number of osteoblasts remains unaffected. As a consequence, ninein-deficient osteoclasts have a reduced capacity to resorb bone. At the cellular level, the absence of ninein interferes with centrosomal microtubule organization, reduces centrosome cohesion, and provokes the loss of centrosome clustering in multinucleated mature osteoclasts. We propose that centrosomal ninein is important for osteoclast fusion, to enable a functional balance between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts during skeletal development.

Is developmental plasticity triggered by DNA methylation changes in the invasive cane toad ( Rhinella marina)? Ecol Evol 2024; 14:e11127. [PMID: 38450317 PMCID: PMC10917582 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Many organisms can adjust their development according to environmental conditions, including the presence of conspecifics. Although this developmental plasticity is common in amphibians, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Exposure during development to either 'cannibal cues' from older conspecifics, or 'alarm cues' from injured conspecifics, causes reduced growth and survival in cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles. Epigenetic modifications, such as changes in DNA methylation patterns, are a plausible mechanism underlying these developmental plastic responses. Here we tested this hypothesis, and asked whether cannibal cues and alarm cues trigger the same DNA methylation changes in developing cane toads. We found that exposure to both cannibal cues and alarm cues was associated with local changes in DNA methylation patterns. These DNA methylation changes affected genes putatively involved in developmental processes, but in different genomic regions for different conspecific-derived cues. Genetic background explains most of the epigenetic variation among individuals. Overall, the molecular mechanisms triggered by exposure to cannibal cues seem to differ from those triggered by alarm cues. Studies linking epigenetic modifications to transcriptional activity are needed to clarify the proximate mechanisms that regulate developmental plasticity in cane toads.

Abstract
Phagocytosis by macrophages is a highly polarized process to destroy large target cells. Binding to particles induces extensive cortical actin-generated forces that drive the formation of elaborate pseudopods around the target particle. Postinternalization, the resultant phagosome is driven toward the cell interior on microtubules (MTs) by cytoplasmic dynein. However, it is unclear whether dynein and cargo-adaptors contribute to the earlier steps of particle internalization and phagosome formation. Here we reveal that ninein, a MT minus-end-associated protein that localizes to the centrosome, is also present at the phagocytic cup in macrophages. Ninein depletion impairs particle internalization by delaying the early F-actin recruitment to sites of particle engagement and cup formation, with no impact on F-actin dynamics beyond this initial step. Ninein forms membrane-bound clusters on phagocytic cups that do not nucleate acentrosomal MTs but instead mediate the assembly of dynein-dynactin complex at active phagocytic membranes. Both ninein depletion and pharmacological inhibition of dynein activity reduced inward displacement of bound particles into macrophages. We found that ninein and dynein motor activity were required for timely retrograde movement of phagosomes and for phagolysosome formation. Taken together, these data show that ninein, alone and with dynein, play significant roles during phagocytosis.

Exp Cell Res 2024; 435:113927.

Abstract
Microtubules constitute pivotal structural elements integral to cellular architecture and physiological functionality. Within the epidermis of the skin, microtubules undergo a noteworthy transition in orientation, shifting from centrosomal to non-centrosomal configurations during the processes of differentiation and stratification. This transition aligns with a discernible increase in the expression of CAMSAP3, a protein that binds to the minus end of microtubules, thereby regulating their orientation. In this study, we identified microtubule-bound CAMSAP3 within HaCaT keratinocytes, revealing an upregulation during the mitotic phase and accumulation at the intercellular bridge during cytokinesis. Building upon this observation, we scrutinized cellular responses upon a tetracycline/doxycycline-inducible CAMSAP3 expression in CAMSAP3-deficient HaCaT cells. Remarkably, CAMSAP3 deficiency induced shifts in microtubule orientation, resulting in cell cycle exit and delayed cytokinesis in a subset of the cells. Furthermore, our inquiry unveiled that CAMSAP3 deficiency adversely impacted the formation and stability of Adherens Junctions and Tight Junctions. In contrast, these perturbations were rectified upon the re-expression of CAMSAP3, underscoring the pivotal role of CAMSAP3 in manifesting differentiation-dependent characteristics in stratified keratinocytes. These observations emphasize the significance of CAMSAP3 in maintaining epidermal homeostasis.

Abstract
Microtubules are polarized cytoskeletal filaments that serve as tracks for intracellular transport and form a scaffold that positions organelles and other cellular components and modulates cell shape and mechanics. In animal cells, the geometry, density and directionality of microtubule networks are major determinants of cellular architecture, polarity and proliferation. In dividing cells, microtubules form bipolar spindles that pull chromosomes apart, whereas in interphase cells, microtubules are organized in a cell type-specific fashion, which strongly correlates with cell physiology. In motile cells, such as fibroblasts and immune cells, microtubules are organized as radial asters, whereas in immotile epithelial and neuronal cells and in muscles, microtubules form parallel or antiparallel arrays and cortical meshworks. Here, we review recent work addressing how the formation of such microtubule networks is driven by the plethora of microtubule regulatory proteins. These include proteins that nucleate or anchor microtubule ends at different cellular structures and those that sever or move microtubules, as well as regulators of microtubule elongation, stability, bundling or modifications. The emerging picture, although still very incomplete, shows a remarkable diversity of cell-specific mechanisms that employ conserved building blocks to adjust microtubule organization in order to facilitate different cellular functions.

Abstract
The centrosome is a highly conserved structure composed of two centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material. The mother, and inherently older, centriole has distal and subdistal appendages, whereas the daughter centriole is devoid of these appendage structures. Both appendages have been primarily linked to functions in cilia formation. However, subdistal appendages present with a variety of potential functions that include spindle placement, chromosome alignment, the final stage of cell division (abscission) and potentially cell differentiation. Subdistal appendages are particularly interesting in that they do not always display a conserved ninefold symmetry in appendage organization on the mother centriole across eukaryotic species, unlike distal appendages. In this review, we aim to differentiate both the morphology and role of the distal and subdistal appendages, with a particular focus on subdistal appendages.

Abstract
While microtubule dynamics and organization have been extensively studied invitro, both biochemically and in cultured cells, recent work has begun to extend this into tissues ex vivo and organisms in vivo. Advances in genetic tools and imaging technology have allowed studies on the dynamics, function, and organization of microtubules in the stratified epithelia of the epidermis. Here, we discuss recent work that highlights the varied roles that microtubules play in supporting epidermal function. These findings demonstrate that studying microtubules in tissues has revealed not only novel aspects of epidermal biology but also new principles of microtubule regulation.

Abstract
Non-centrosomal microtubule-organizing centres (ncMTOCs) have a variety of roles presumed to serve the diverse functions of the range of cell types in which they are found. ncMTOCs are diverse in their composition, subcellular localization, and function. Here we report a perinuclear MTOC in Drosophila fat body cells that is anchored by Msp300/Nesprin at the cytoplasmic surface of the nucleus. Msp300 recruits the MT minus-end protein Patronin/CAMSAP, which functions redundantly with Ninein to further recruit the MT polymerase Msps/XMAP215 to assemble non-centrosomal MTs and does so independently of the widespread MT nucleation factor γ-tubulin. Functionally, the fat body ncMTOC and the radial MT arrays it organizes is essential for nuclear positioning and for secretion of basement membrane components via retrograde dynein-dependent endosomal trafficking that restricts plasma membrane growth. Together, this study identifies a perinuclear ncMTOC with unique architecture and MT regulation properties that serves vital functions.

Abstract
The orientation of the mitotic spindle is a crucial process during development and adult tissue homeostasis and multiple mechanisms have been shown to intrinsically regulate this process. However, much less is known about the extrinsic cues involved in modulating spindle orientation. We have recently uncovered a novel function of Eph intercellular signaling in regulating spindle alignment by ultimately ensuring the correct cortical distribution of central components within the intrinsic spindle orientation machinery. Here, we comment on these results, novel questions that they open and potential additional research to address in the future.
