Spindle Checkpoint Regulators in Insulin Signaling [PDF]
The spindle checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis and guards against aneuploidy. Insulin signaling governs metabolic homeostasis and cell growth, and its dysregulation leads to metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.

A sequential multi-target Mps1 phosphorylation cascade promotes spindle checkpoint signaling [PDF]
The master spindle checkpoint kinase Mps1 senses kinetochore-microtubule attachment and promotes checkpoint signaling to ensure accurate chromosome segregation.

Monitoring spindle orientation: Spindle position checkpoint in charge [PDF]
Every cell division in budding yeast is inherently asymmetric and counts on the correct positioning of the mitotic spindle along the mother-daughter polarity axis for faithful chromosome segregation.

Meiotic cells escape prolonged spindle checkpoint activity through kinetochore silencing and slippage. [PDF]
To prevent chromosome mis-segregation, a surveillance mechanism known as the spindle checkpoint delays the cell cycle if kinetochores are not attached to spindle microtubules, allowing the cell additional time to correct improper attachments.

Cyclin B1-Cdk1 facilitates MAD1 release from the nuclear pore to ensure a robust spindle checkpoint. [PDF]
Jackman and colleagues show that Cyclin B1-Cdk1, the major mitotic kinase, binds to the spindle checkpoint protein MAD1 and synergizes with MPS1 to facilitate MAD1 release from the nuclear pore complex and recruitment to kinetochores before nuclear ...

CDK1-CCNB1 creates a spindle checkpoint-permissive state by enabling MPS1 kinetochore localization. [PDF]
Spindle checkpoint signaling is initiated by recruitment of the kinase MPS1 to unattached kinetochores during mitosis. We show that CDK1-CCNB1 and a counteracting phosphatase PP2A-B55 regulate the engagement of human MPS1 with unattached kinetochores by ...

MAD1-dependent recruitment of CDK1-CCNB1 to kinetochores promotes spindle checkpoint signaling. [PDF]
Cyclin B–dependent kinase (CDK1-CCNB1) promotes entry into mitosis. Additionally, it inhibits mitotic exit by activating the spindle checkpoint. This latter role is mediated through phosphorylation of the checkpoint kinase MPS1 and other spindle ...

The ESCRT protein Chmp4c regulates mitotic spindle checkpoint signaling. [PDF]
The mitotic spindle checkpoint delays anaphase onset in the presence of unattached kinetochores, and efficient checkpoint signaling requires kinetochore localization of the Rod–ZW10–Zwilch (RZZ) complex. In the present study, we show that human Chmp4c, a

Mechanistic insight into TRIP13-catalyzed Mad2 structural transition and spindle checkpoint silencing. [PDF]
The spindle checkpoint maintains genomic stability and prevents aneuploidy. Unattached kinetochores convert the latent open conformer of the checkpoint protein Mad2 (O-Mad2) to the active closed conformer (C-Mad2), bound to Cdc20.
