Input and immunoprecipitates were analyzed by immunoblotting for the FLAG-BirA fusions (FLAG) or for Myc-PLK4. Ponc.S indicates total protein. * indicates position of FLAG-Cas9. ( C ) WT RPE-1, TRIM37 -/- and TRIM37 -/- expressing FB or the indicated FB-TRIM37 construct were seeded for clonogenic assays and grown in DMSO or the indicated concentration of centrinone B for 14 days. Colony density was quantified and growth compared to that in DMSO determined. Means from each replicate are shown as open circles. Resulting mean and standard deviation shown (n=3). Significant p -values (< 0.05) from Dunnett post hoc test using ‘WT’ as a control after one-way ANOVA shown.

PLK4 activity decreases in a dose-dependent manner upon centrinone B addition. TRIM37 promotes PLK4 auto-phosphorylation (orange circles) outside the phosphodegron region (purple circles). PLK4 inhibition initially results in TRIM37-independent growth arrest. Continued addition of centrinone B results in centrosome overduplication that is detected by the ANKRD26/PIDDosome pathway in addition to a TRIM37-dependent growth arrest pathway. Complete inhibition of PLK4 results in TRIM37-dependent growth arrest. TRIM37 also prevents the appearance of CNTROB-dependent aggregates. We hypothesize that these aggregates might affect p53/p21 activation (dotted lines) (created with https://biorender.com/ ).

U-ExM-induced sample expansion was taken into consideration to compare TEM vs. U-ExM inter stripe measurements. Box plots show median, interquartile range (10–90 percentile) and SDs. ( H ) Western blot of lysates from HeLa cells treated with control or TRIM37 siRNAs probed with antibodies against Centrobin (top) or HSP70 as loading control (bottom). ( I ) Western blot of soluble (S) or insoluble (P, for pellet) fractions of lysates from HeLa cells treated with control or TRIM37 siRNAs, probed with antibodies against Centrobin (top) or α-tubulin as loading control (bottom). Note that Centrobin in the insoluble fraction migrates slower upon TRIM37 depletion, suggestive of some posttranslational modification. ( J ) Western blot of total Centrobin protein levels in control and TRIM37-depleted HeLa cells treated with cycloheximide (CHX) for indicated time in hours (h), probed with antibodies against Centrobin (top) or α-tubulin as loading control (bottom).

( A ) Box-and-whisker Tukey plot of Centrin-2 foci number per cell in indicated conditions. Box plots show median, interquartile range (10–90 percentile) and SDs from two independent experiments (n = 50 cells each).

Lower-case and upper-case letters above the charts reflect comparisons of two distinct data sets. ( B ) HeLa cells grown with centrinone for 8 days (top) or RPE-1 HsSAS-6-ko cells (bottom), both treated with control or TRIM37 siRNAs, before immunostaining for CP110 and Centrin-2.

Additionally, DMSO or BI-2536 was added to the cells, which were fixed at time 0 hr or 8 hr after release, before immunostaining with antibodies against CP110 and Centrobin. The percentage of cells with extra CP110 foci was quantified in each condition. Chart shows the average and SDs from three independent experiments (n = 50 cells each). ( F ) HeLa cells were synchronized with a double thymidine block, released and transfected with control, TRIM37, Centrobin, or both TRIM37 and Centrobin siRNAs, as indicated. Moreover, DMSO or BI-2536 was added to the cells, which were fixed at time 0 hr or 8 hr after release, before immunostaining with antibodies against CP110 and HsSAS-6. ( G ) Corresponding percentage of cells with extra CP110 foci, with an indication of the fraction of them bearing HsSAS-6. Chart shows the average and SDs from two independent experiments (n = 50 cells each). ( H ) Working model of TRIM37 role in preventing formation of supernumerary MTOCs. Our findings lead us to propose that TRIM37 prevents the formation of supernumerary Centrin foci through two pathways mediated by Centrobin (top) and PLK1 (bottom). The Centrobin pathway relies on tiger Centrobin assemblies that act as platforms for PLK4-dependent Cenpas formation. Thereafter, Cenpas could evolve into centriole-related structures with the stepwise incorporation of other centriolar proteins such as HsSAS-6. We propose that the PLK1 pathway might reflect its role in promoting centriole disengagement. Note that only extra MTOCs are represented. See text for details.
