Abstract

We have investigated a possible role for the inner nuclear membrane protein Samp1 (also known as TMEM201) in the mitotic machinery. Live-cell imaging showed that Samp1a-YFP (Samp1a is the short isoform of Samp1) distributed as filamentous structures in the mitotic spindle, partially colocalising with β-tubulin. Samp1 depletion resulted in an increased frequency of cells with signs of chromosomal mis-segregation and prolonged metaphase, indicating problems with spindle assembly and/or chromosomal alignment. Consistent with this, mitotic spindles in Samp1-depleted cells contained significantly lower levels of β-tubulin and γ-tubulin, phenotypes that were rescued by overexpression of Samp1a-YFP. We found that Samp1 can bind directly to γ-tubulin and that Samp1 co-precipitated with γ-tubulin and the HAUS6 subunit of the Augmin complex in live cells. The levels of HAUS6, in the mitotic spindle also decreased after Samp1 depletion. We show that Samp1 is involved in the recruitment of HAUS6 and γ-tubulin to the mitotic spindle. Samp1 is the first inner nuclear membrane protein shown to have a function in mitotic spindle assembly.
