The onset of mitosis in animal cells is marked by nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD), which requires coordinated disassembly of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and the nuclear lamina. Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1/PLK-1) initiates NEBD through phosphorylation of NPC components, but mechanisms that spatially regulate PLK-1 between NPCs and the nuclear interior are unclear. Here, we identify the Caenorhabditis elegans TMEM209 homolog NPP-28 as a transmembrane nucleoporin that concentrates PLK-1 at the nuclear envelope while limiting its nuclear accumulation to promote NEBD. We identify docking sites within NPP-28 that mediate PLK-1 nuclear envelope-association. NPP-28 is phosphorylated by PLK-1 in vitro, and mutational analysis suggests that NPP-28-mediated docking facilitates NEBD, whereas phosphorylation prevents premature NEBD. Simultaneous loss of npp-28 and the transmembrane nucleoporin npp-12/gp210 exacerbates mitotic NEBD defects in early embryos and causes severe defects in germline development. Together, our findings identify NPP-28 as a spatial regulator of PLK-1 during mitosis with functional relationships with other conserved transmembrane nucleoporins depending on context.
