AB - To ensure an even segregation of chromosomes during somatic cell division, eukaryotes rely on mitotic spin-dles. Here, we measured prime characteristics of the Arabidopsis mitotic spindle and built a three-dimen-sional dynamic model using Cytosim. We identified the cell-cycle regulator CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASEB1 (CDKB1) together with its cyclin partner CYCB3;1 as key regulators of spindle morphology in Arabidopsis.We found that the augmin component ENDOSPERM DEFECTIVE1 (EDE1) is a substrate of the CDKB1;1-CYCB3;1 complex. A non-phosphorylatable mutant rescue of ede1 resembled the spindle phenotypesof cycb3;1 and cdkb1 mutants and the protein associated less efficiently with spindle microtubules. Accord-ingly, reducing the level of augmin in simulations recapitulated the phenotypes observed in the mutants. Ourfindings emphasize the importance of cell-cycle-dependent phospho-control of the mitotic spindle in plantcells and support the validity of our model as a framework for the exploration of mechanisms controllingthe organization of the eukaryotic spindle.
