Spindle bipolarity is critical for genomic integrity. As centrosome number often dictates bipolarity, tight control of centrosome assembly is vital for faithful cell division. The master centrosome regulator ZYG-1/Plk4 plays a pivotal role in this process. In C. elegans, casein kinase II (CK2) negatively regulates centrosome duplication by controlling centrosome-associated ZYG-1 levels. Here, we investigated CK2 as a regulator of ZYG-1 and its impact on centrosome assembly. We show that CK2 phosphorylates ZYG-1 in vitro and physically interacts with ZYG-1 in vivo. Depleting CK2 or blocking ZYG-1 phosphorylation at CK2 target sites leads to centrosome amplification. Non-phosphorylatable ZYG-1 mutants exhibit elevated ZYG-1 levels, leading to increased ZYG-1 and downstream factors at centrosomes, thus driving centrosome amplification. Moreover, inhibiting the 26S proteasome prevents degradation of the phospho-mimetic ZYG-1. Our findings suggest that CK2-dependent phosphorylation of ZYG-1 controls ZYG-1 levels via proteasomal degradation to limit centrosome number.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
