Abi Mutants in Dictyostelium Reveal Specific Roles for the SCAR/WAVE Complex in Cytokinesis  Alice Y. Pollitt, Robert H. Insall  Current Biology  Volume 18, Issue 3, Pages 203-210 (February 2008) DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2008.01.026 Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 SCAR Complex Levels and Localization in Mutants (A) Western blots showing SCAR and PIR121 levels in growing cells. Equal quantities of protein were probed with anti-SCAR and anti-PIR121 antibodies. SCAR protein is reduced in abiA null cells and almost undetectable in pirA null cells. PIR121 levels are essentially normal in scar null, abiA null, and abi/scar null mutants. (B) Rescue of SCAR levels in abiA null cells expressing Myc-tagged or untagged Abi. Total lysates from wild-type, abiA null, and abiA null cells expressing either Myc-Abi or an untagged control were blotted and probed with anti-Myc and SCAR antibodies. (C) Abi is part of the SCAR complex. Lysates prepared from abiA null cells expressing either Myc-Abi or an untagged control were immunoprecipitated with anti-Myc antibody and probed with anti-SCAR and anti-PIR121 antibodies. (D) SCAR does not localize to the leading edge of actin protrusions in abiA null cells. Aggregation-competent wild-type and abiA null cells were analyzed by immunofluorescent microscopy. F-actin and SCAR were visualized with Alexa phalloidin and anti-SCAR antibody. SCAR localizes to the leading edge of actin protrusions in wild-type cells. Images are representative of three independent experiments. Scale bar represents 2 μm. (E) PIR121 does not localize to the leading edge of actin protrusions in abiA null cells. Aggregation competent wild-type and abiA null cells were analyzed by immunofluorescent microscopy. F-Actin and PIR121 were visualized with Alexa phalloidin and anti-PIR121 antibody, respectively. PIR121 localizes to the leading edge of actin protrusions in wild-type cells (arrow). Images are representative of three independent experiments. Scale bar represents 2 μm.

Figure 2 Growth and Motility of abi Mutants (A) Under-agar chemotaxis assay. Vegetative cells were allowed to migrate up a gradient of folate (arrow) under a layer of agar. Scale bar represents 20 μm. (B) Migration speed. Time-lapse movies of ten wild-type, abiA null, scar null, and abiA/scar null cells were analyzed and the mean speed calculated. Error bars represent one standard error. abiA null, scar null, and abiA/scar null cells are significantly slower than wild-type (p < 0.01). (C) Bacterial growth. Wild-type, scar null, abiA null, and abiA/scar null cells were plated on Klebsiella aerogenes lawns on SM agar plates. After 5 days of growth the colonies were photographed. Scale bar represents 1 cm. (D) abiA null cells have diminished growth in suspension. Cells were grown in shaken suspension and the cell density measured at regular intervals. The population doubling times are given for each strain. Data shown here are the means and standard errors of three independent experiments.

Figure 3 Cytokinesis Defects in Suspension and on a Substrate (A) abiA null cells are multinuclear when grown in suspension. Cells were shaken for 5 days, fixed and stained with DAPI, and the number of nuclei per cell were counted. When compared to wild-type cells, abi null cells show a significant decrease in the number of cells with one nucleus. They also show a significant increase in the number of cells with between two to four nuclei per cell and greater than nuclei per cell (p < 0.001). scar null and abi/scar null cells show a significant decrease in the number of cells with one nucleus and a significant increase in the number of cells with between two to four nuclei per cell (p < 0.01). Error bars represent one standard error. (B) abiA null cells extend aberrant protrusions when in suspension. Wild-type and abiA null cells were placed in a 0.03% agarose solution to maintain them in suspension conditions and were observed by video microscopy. The daughter cells attempt to migrate away from each other by the extension of protrusions. In contrast the abi null cells do not efficiently migrate away from each other, resulting in a tumbling motion. Scale bar represents 10 μm. (C) abiA null cells remain multinuclear when grown on a substrate. Wild-type, abiA null, scar null, and abiA/scar null cells grown on glass coverslips in Petri dishes were fixed, stained with DAPI, and the number of nuclei per cell counted. When compared to wild-type cells, abi null cells show a significant decrease in the number of cells with one nucleus. They also show a significant increase in the number of cells with between two to four nuclei per cell and greater than five nuclei per cell (p < 0.001). scar null and abi/scar null cells show a significant decrease in the number of cells with one nucleus and a significant increase in the number of cells with between two to four nuclei per cell (p < 0.01). Error bars represent one standard error. (D) Mutant cells were observed dividing and attempts at cell division categorized into groups. Attempts at normal cytokinesis can be grouped into three categories: normal, in which the cell divides into two daughter cells; failed, in which the cell attempts to divide normally but the two daughter cells rejoin; and multiple, in which the cell divides into more than two daughter cells. abiA null cells in addition to cytokinesis underwent traction-mediated cytofission (TMC), which sometimes failed (TMC fused).

Figure 4 Detailed Analysis of Cytokinesis Phenotypes (A) The centroid trajectories of daughter cells of typical wild-type and abiA null cells undergoing normal cytokinesis. The path of the daughter cells is depicted as a function of time. Scale bar represents 5 μm. (B) The centroid tracks of the two daughter cells (thick line, left daughter cell; thin line, right daughter cell) during normal cytokinesis of several cells, recorded from the dumbbell stage of cell division. The ends of the tracks indicate the position of the daughter cells when the cytoplasmic bridge breaks. Tracks were rotated so the initial direction of cleavage was outwards (see inset), and plotted from a common origin. Scale bar represents 5 μm. (C) Directional accuracy during cytokinesis. Indices were calculated from cell tracks such as those in Figure 2B (index of 1 = perfect outward movement; index of 0 = entirely random movement). The direction indices of scar null and abiA/scar null cells are significantly worse than that of the wild-type cells (p < 0.01). The index of abiA null cells is significantly worse than that of wild-type cells (p < 0.001). Error bars represent one standard error. (D) Distance traveled during cytokinesis. The distance traveled from the dumbbell stage until the break of the cytoplasmic bridge is significantly further in abiA null cells than in wild-type, scar null, and abiA/scar null cells (p < 0.001). Error bars represent one standard error. Current Biology 2008 18, 203-210DOI: (10.1016/j.cub.2008.01.026) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 5 Abi and SCAR in Cytokinesis (A) SCAR localizes to the edge of protrusions during cytokinesis of wild-type cells. F-actin and SCAR were visualized with Alexa phalloidin and anti-SCAR antibody. Nuclei were visualized with DAPI. SCAR localizes just ahead of actin in protrusions at the leading edges of daughter cells (arrows). Scale bar represents 5 μm. (B) Model for the involvement of Abi and SCAR in cell division. Wild-type cells have activation of SCAR at the poles of daughter cells, which assists polarization and division by producing a consistent force. In the absence of SCAR, the daughter cells are poorly polarized and the inconsistent force leads to functional but less efficient cytokinesis. In the absence of Abi, unpolarized SCAR activation interferes with normal division. This results in incomplete cytokinesis with the daughter cells rejoining, resulting in a multinuclear cell.
