Abstract

Mad1 and Mad2 are constituents of the spindle-assembly checkpoint, a device coupling the loss of sister-chromatid cohesion at anaphase to the completion of microtubule attachment of the sister chromatids at metaphase. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) revealed that the interaction of cytosolic Mad2 with kinetochores is highly dynamic, suggesting a mechanism of catalytic activation of Mad2 at kinetochores followed by its release in a complex with Cdc20. The recruitment of cytosolic Mad2 to kinetochores has been attributed to a stable receptor composed of a distinct pool of Mad2 tightly bound to Mad1. Whether specifically this interaction accounts for the kinetochore dynamics of Mad2 is currently unknown. To gain a precise molecular understanding of the interaction of Mad2 with kinetochores, we reconstituted the putative Mad2 kinetochore receptor and developed a kinetochore recruitment assay with purified components. When analyzed by FRAP in vitro, this system faithfully reproduced the previously described in vivo dynamics of Mad2, providing an unequivocal molecular account of the interaction of Mad2 with kinetochores. Using the same approach, we dissected the mechanism of action of p31(comet), a spindle-assembly ...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
