Nuclear envelope disassembly in mitotic extract requires functional nuclear pores and a nuclear lamina

Using sea urchin embryonic and in-vitro-assembled nuclei incubated in sea urchin mitotic extract, I provide evidence for a requirement for functional nuclear pores and a nuclear lamina for nuclear envelope disassembly in vitro. In interphase gastrula nuclei, lamin B interacts with p56, an integral protein of inner nuclear membrane cross-reacting with antibodies to human lamin B receptor. Incubation of gastrula nuclei in mitotic cytosol containing an ATP-generating system rapidly induces hyperphosphorylation of p56 and lamin B. Subsequently, p56-lamin B interactions are weakened and the two proteins segregate into distinct nuclear envelope-derived vesicles upon disassembly of nuclear membranes and of the lamina. Nuclear disassembly is accompanied by chromatin condensation. Blocking nuclear pore function with wheat germ agglutinin or antibodies to nucleoporins prevents p56 and lamin B hyperphosphorylation, nuclear membrane breakdown and lamina solubilization. These events are not rescued by permeabilization of nuclear membranes to molecules of 150, 000 Mr with lysolecithin. In-vitro-assembled nuclei containing nuclear membranes with functional pores but no lamina do not disassemble in mitotic cytosol in spite of p56 hyperphosphorylation. Nuclear import of soluble lamin B and reformation of a lamina in interphase extract restores nuclear disassembly in mitotic cytosol. The data indicate a role for functional nuclear pores in nuclear disassembly in vitro. They show that p56 hyperphosphorylation is not sufficient for nuclear membrane disassembly in mitotic cytosol and argue that the nuclear lamina plays a critical role in nuclear disassembly at mitosis.
