The pericentriolar Golgi stacks are fragmented and found dispersed in mitotic mammalian cells. Addition of an antibody to the Golgi-associated protein GRASP65 inhibited Golgi fragmentation by mitotic cytosol in permeabilized cells. Microinjecting this antibody or the C-terminal fragment of GRASP65, which contains the antibody binding site, into normal rat kidney cells prevented entry into mitosis. Under these conditions the cells had completed S phase but were not in the prophase stage of mitosis. Fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus by nocodazole or Brefeldin A treatment prior to or post microinjection of the anti-GRASP65 antibody alleviated the block in mitotic entry. Based on our findings, we suggest that the pericentriolar Golgi organization is a sensor for controlling entry into mitosis in mammalian cells.
