Some assembly required: Redefining the mitotic checkpoint

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
The spindle assembly checkpoint (also known as the spindle or mitotic checkpoint) is a surveillance system that ensures fidelity of chromosome segregation.

HIPK2 and extrachromosomal histone H2B are separately recruited by Aurora-B for cytokinesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cytokinesis, the final phase of cell division, is necessary to form two distinct daughter cells with correct distribution of genomic and cytoplasmic materials.

Kinetochore stretching inactivates the spindle assembly checkpoint [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2009
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors the attachment of microtubules to the kinetochore and inhibits anaphase when microtubule binding is incomplete. The SAC might also respond to tension; however, how cells can sense tension and whether its detection is important to satisfy the SAC remain controversial.

TRIP13 Regulates Both the Activation and Inactivation of the Spindle-Assembly Checkpoint

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Summary: Biochemical studies have indicated that p31comet and TRIP13 are critical for inactivating MAD2. To address unequivocally whether p31comet and TRIP13 are required for mitotic exit at the cellular level, their genes were ablated either ...

Chromosome segregation in plant meiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life cycles. In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other factors leads to the formation of unbalanced or unreduced gametes creating

Spindle assembly checkpoint: the third decade [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
The spindle assembly checkpoint controls cell cycle progression during mitosis, synchronizing it with the attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules. After the discovery of themitotic arrest deficient(MAD) andbudding uninhibited by benzymidazole(BUB) genes as crucial checkpoint components in 1991, the second decade of checkpoint studies (2001 ...

Noise resistance in the spindle assembly checkpoint [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2006
Genetically identical cells vary in the amount of expressed proteins even when growing under the same conditions. It is not yet clear how cellular information processing copes with such stochastic fluctuations in protein levels. Here we examine the capacity of the spindle assembly checkpoint to buffer temporal fluctuations in the expression of Cdc20, a

MAP kinase meets mitosis: A role for Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein in spindle checkpoint regulation

open access: yesCell Division, 2007
Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) is an evolutionarily conserved protein that functions as a modulator of signaling by the MAP kinase cascade.

Co-silencing of human Bub3 and dynein highlights an antagonistic relationship in regulating kinetochore-microtubule attachments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We previously reported that the spindle assembly checkpoint protein Bub3 is involved in regulating kinetochore-microtubule (KT-MT) attachments. Also, Bub3 was reported to interact with the microtubule motor protein dynein.

Requirement for proteolysis in spindle assembly checkpoint silencing [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2010
Anaphase initiation requires ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of crucial substrates through activation of the ubiquitin ligase Anaphase promoting Complex/Cyclosome (ApC/C) in association with its coactivator Cdc20. To prevent chromosome segregation errors, effector proteins of a safeguard mechanism called spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), Mad2 and ...
