Antigen Ki-67 is a nuclear protein expressed in proliferating mammalian cells. It is widely used in cancer histopathology but its functions remain unclear. Here, we show that Ki-67 controls heterochromatin organisation. Altering Ki-67 expression levels did not significantly affect cell proliferation in vivo. Ki-67 mutant mice developed normally and cells lacking Ki-67 proliferated efficiently. Conversely, upregulation of Ki-67 expression in differentiated tissues did not prevent cell cycle arrest. Ki-67 interactors included proteins involved in nucleolar processes and chromatin regulators. Ki-67 depletion disrupted nucleologenesis but did not inhibit pre-rRNA processing. In contrast, it altered gene expression. Ki-67 silencing also had wide-ranging effects on chromatin organisation, disrupting heterochromatin compaction and long-range genomic interactions. Trimethylation of histone H3K9 and H4K20 was relocalised within the nucleus. Finally, overexpression of human or Xenopus Ki-67 induced ectopic heterochromatin formation. Altogether, our results suggest that Ki-67 expression in proliferating cells spatially organises heterochromatin, thereby controlling gene expression.

Overexpression of Ki-67 induces ectopic heterochromatin.(A) Overexpression of full length Ki-67 N-terminal fusion with eGFP in U2OS cells induces ectopic heterochromatin, as visualised by DAPI staining (middle) and immunofluorescence of H3K9Me3 (left) or HP1β (right). Eight representative cells that have different levels of Ki-67 expression, as determined by eGFP fluorescence intensity, are shown. Bar, 10 µm. (B) U2OS cells expressing high levels of exogenous eGFP-Ki-67 and showing ectopic chromatin condensation are negative for cyclin A staining by immunofluorescence. (C) Left: Immunofluorescence analysis of the localisation of endogenous human and ectopically expressed Xenopus Ki-67 in U2OS cells, showing colocalisation in metaphase at the perichromosomal region.

Overexpression of Ki-67 induces ectopic heterochromatin.Overexpression of full length Ki-67 N-terminal fusion with eGFP (GFP, left panels) in U2OS cells induces ectopic heterochromatin, as visualised by DAPI staining (DNA, right panels) or immunofluorescence of HP1α (centre, middle), whereas cells with lower Ki-67 expression levels have normal chromatin. Immunofluorescence of Ki-67 (top, middle) shows colocalisation of fusion protein with overall Ki-67 pattern. Immunofluorescence of phospho-histone H3S10 shows expected staining of mitotic metaphase (bottom, middle panel) but no staining in a cell with ectopic heterochromatin (top right cell, same panel) due to Ki-67 overexpression (GFP, bottom left panel).
