Greatwall kinase regulates mitotic progression by phosphorylating ENSA and ARPP19, thereby inhibiting PP2A-B55. Moreover, Greatwall has been implicated in oncogenesis, particularly in solid tumours, but the mechanisms by which Greatwall regulates the cell cycle in other malignancies remain unclear. Here, we show that Greatwall regulates cytokinesis and cell cycle progression in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells through a pathway distinct from ENSA-PP2A-B55. AML cells require Greatwall expression and activity to proliferate, as revealed by pharmacological and systematic genetic perturbation experiments. Mechanistically, Greatwall inactivation or genetic depletion does not measurably affect the ENSA-PP2A-B55 pathway. Instead, loss of Greatwall function alters cytokinesis, and the phosphorylation of proteins involved in cytoskeletal organisation and cytokinesis, including MARK3, which we identify as a direct Greatwall substrate in AML cells. Together, these findings reveal that the Greatwall kinase signalling network is wired differently in leukemic cells, thus uncovering a novel of cell cycle regulation.
