Abstract
AbstractThe Eyes Absent family of proteins (EYA1-4) are a biochemically unique group of tyrosine phosphatases known to be tumour promoting across a range of cancer types. To date, the molecular targets of EYA phosphatase activity remain largely uncharacterised. Here, we identify Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) as a direct interactor and phosphatase substrate of both EYA4 and EYA1, with pY445 on PLK1 being the primary target site. EYA-mediated dephosphorylation of PLK1 in the G2 phase of the cell cycle is required for centrosome maturation, PLK1 localization to centrosomes, and polo-box domain (PBD) dependent interactions between PLK1 and the PLK1-activating proteins BORA and CEP192. Molecular dynamics simulations support the rationale that pY445 confers a structural impairment to PBD-substrate interactions that is relieved by EYA-mediated dephosphorylation. Depletion of EYA4 or EYA1, or chemical inhibition of EYA phosphatase activity, dramatically reduces PLK1 activation, causing mitotic defects and cell death. Overall, we have characterized a novel phosphotyrosine signalling network governing PLK1 and mitosis. This work provides a mechanism of cell killing for EYA phosphatase inhibitors with important therapeutic implications.
