Abstract

AbstractThe nuclear envelope (NE) is a permeable barrier that maintains nuclear–cytoplasmic compartmentalization and ensures nuclear function; however, it ruptures in various situations such as mechanical stress and mitosis. Although the protein components for sealing a ruptured NE have been identified, the mechanism by which lipid components are involved in this process remains to be elucidated. Here, we found that an inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein Bqt4 directly interacts with phosphatidic acid (PA) and serves as a platform for NE maintenance in the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe. The intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of Bqt4 proximal to the transmembrane domain binds to PA and forms a solid-phase aggregatein vitro. Excessive accumulation of Bqt4 IDR in INM results in membrane overproliferation and lipid droplet formation in the nucleus, leading to centromere dissociation from the NE and chromosome missegregation. Our findings suggest that Bqt4 IDR controls nuclear membrane homeostasis by recruiting PA to the INM, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of the NE.
