To study protein function

Small molecule inhibitors
– directly inhibit protein fx.
– search by phenotypic screening
-> i.d. targets / pathway
– binding of irrelevant prot.
RNA interference

RNAi
– dsRNA targets
destruction of RNA
– inhibit prot. fx in a
genome-wide basis
Mitosis
• daughter cells are separated by
constriction of a cleavage furrow
This paper
Goal
 Complete list of prot. required for
cytokinesis in Drosophila cells
Approach

Genome-wide RNAi screening & small
molecule inhibitors
Screening

dsRNA screening

Small molecule screening
- 51,000 inhibitors
- >90% annotated
genome dsRNAs
- incubate ~4 d
2d
Immunofluorescence
-dsRNAs of 214 genes
-1 new gene (Borr/CG4454)
-50 inhibitors
(commercial lib, bioactive, nat
prod. extract)

Two phenotypes correlate in both methods
RNAi

inhibitors
dsRNA targeting Act5C OR Cytochalasin D
Two phenotypes correlate in both methods
•Binucleate with diffuse DNA
•Chromosomal passenger protein that co-localize with Aurora B
throughout mitosis & cytokinesis
Aurora B
Andrews et al 2003

Chromosomal passenger prot

Localize on centromeres (prophase-metaphase)

Relocalize to spindle midzone and cortex (anaphase)

Disruption causes loss of phosphorylation on histone H3 and
failure in cytokinesis
Two phenotypes correlate in both methods
•Chromosomal passenger protein that co-localize with Aurora B
throughout mitosis & cytokinesis
Borr/CG4454 co-localizes with Aurora B
•Borr is required for INCENP localization
Aurora B RNAi and Binucleine 2 shares same
phenotype and affect localization of INCENP
Cells treated to aurora B dsRNA, borr/CG4454
dsRNA or Binucleine 2 results in an absence of H3
Summary

i.d. new prot. involved in cytokinesis and new small
molecule that inhibits it

214 prot. important for cytokinesis in Drosophila

Borr/CG4454 is a chromosomal passenger prot that
co-localize with Aurora B

Depletion had a profound effect on cytokinesis

Binucleine 2 as a cancer drug ?
Message
