The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
During mitosis and meiosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint acts to maintain genome stability by delaying cell division until accurate chromosome segregation can be guaranteed. Accuracy requires that chromosomes become correctly attached to the microtubule spindle apparatus via their kinetochores.

Bub1 kinase in the regulation of mitosis

open access: yesAnimal Cells and Systems, 2021
Accurate chromosome segregation is required for cell survival and organismal development. During mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint acts as a safeguard to maintain the high fidelity of mitotic chromosome segregation by monitoring the attachment of ...

Yeast Kinesin-5 Motor Protein CIN8 Promotes Accurate Chromosome Segregation

open access: yesCells, 2022
Accurate chromosome segregation depends on bipolar chromosome–microtubule attachment and tension generation on chromosomes. Incorrect chromosome attachment results in chromosome missegregation, which contributes to genome instability.

Spindle assembly checkpoint silencing and beyond [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2016
The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) prevents anaphase onset in the absence of kinetochore-microtubule attachment, ensuring that cells with unattached kinetochores do not proceed into anaphase.

Dynein Light Intermediate Chain 2 Facilitates the Metaphase to Anaphase Transition by Inactivating the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The multi-functional molecular motor cytoplasmic dynein performs diverse essential roles during mitosis. The mechanistic importance of the dynein Light Intermediate Chain homologs, LIC1 and LIC2 is unappreciated, especially in the context of mitosis ...

Spindle assembly checkpoint, aneuploidy and tumorigenesis [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2009
Faithfully distributing chromosomes into two daughter cells in mitosis is essential for the maintenance of the integrity of the genome genome. The fidelity is achieved through a number of cellular processes among which is the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), an elaborate molecular pathway that monitors the attachment of microtubules to kinetochores ...

BubR1 is frequently repressed in acute myeloid leukemia and its re-expression sensitizes cells to antimitotic therapy

open access: yesHaematologica, 2013
Spindle poison-based therapy is of only limited benefit in acute myeloid leukemia while lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma responds well. In this study, we demonstrated that the spindle assembly checkpoint protein BubR1 was down-regulated in the vast ...

The chromosomal passenger complex and the spindle assembly checkpoint: kinetochore-microtubule error correction and beyond

open access: yesCell Division, 2008
During mitosis, correct bipolar chromosome attachment to the mitotic spindle is an essential prerequisite for the equal segregation of chromosomes. The spindle assembly checkpoint can prevent chromosome segregation as long as not all chromosome pairs ...

Kinetic framework of spindle assembly checkpoint signalling [PDF]

open access: yesNature Cell Biology, 2013
The mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) delays anaphase onset until all chromosomes have attached to both spindle poles. Here, we investigated SAC signalling kinetics in response to acute detachment of individual chromosomes using laser microsurgery. Most detached chromosomes delayed anaphase until they had realigned to the metaphase plate.

The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Is Required for Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Engraftment

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: The spindle assembly checkpoint plays a pivotal role in preventing aneuploidy and transformation. Many studies demonstrate impairment of this checkpoint in cancer cells.
