p,The AAA+ family ATPase TRIP13 is a key regulator of meiotic recombination and the spindle assembly checkpoint, acting on signaling proteins of the conserved HORMA domain family. Here we present the structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans TRIP13 ortholog PCH-2, revealing a new family of AAA+ ATPase protein remodelers. PCH-2 possesses a substrate-recognition domain related to those of the protein remodelers NSF and p97, while its overall hexameric architecture and likely structural mechanism bear close similarities to the bacterial protein unfoldase ClpX. We find that TRIP13, aided by the adapter protein p31(comet), converts the HORMA-family spindle checkpoint protein MAD2 from a signaling-active closed conformer to an inactive open conformer. We propose that TRIP13 and p31(comet) collaborate to inactivate the spindle assembly checkpoint through MAD2 conformational conversion and disassembly of mitotic checkpoint complexes. A parallel HORMA protein disassembly activity likely underlies ...

Weaver and Cleveland and Taylor et al. contend that our data on the involvement of the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) in the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) can be fully explained by kinetochore-derived checkpoint signaling. We maintain that (i) the interactions of γ-TuRC with Cdc20 and BubR1, and (ii) the activation of SAC by γ-TuRC depletion, in addition to the abrogation of kinetochore-microtubule interactions, argue for a more complex mechanism of SAC signaling.. ...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Set1 is the sole lysine methyltransferase required for mono-, di-, and trimethylation of this site. Although H3K4me3 is linked to gene expression, whether H3K4 methylation regulates other cellular processes, such as mitosis, is less clear. Here we show that both Set1 and H3K4 mutants display a benomyl resistance phenotype that requires components of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), including Bub3 and Mad2. These proteins ...

BACKGROUND Meiosis is a unique form of cell division in which cells divide twice but DNA is duplicated only once. Errors in chromosome segregation during meiosis will result in aneuploidy, followed by loss of the conceptus during pregnancy or birth defects. During mitosis, cells utilize a mechanism called the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) to ensure faithful chromosome segregation. A similar mechanism has been uncovered for meiosis in the last decade, especially in the past several years. METHODS For this review, we included data and relevant information obtained through a PubMed database search for all articles published in English from 1991 through 2011 which included the term meiosis, spindle assembly checkpoint, or SAC. RESULTS There are 91 studies included. Evidence for the existence of SAC functions in meiosis is provided by studies on the SAC proteins mitotic-arrest deficient-1 (Mad1), Mad2, budding uninhibited by benzimidazole-1 (Bub1), Bub3, BubR1 and Mps1; microtubule-kinetochore

Adapter protein able to interact with different proteins and involved in different biological processes. Mediates the interaction between the error-prone DNA polymerase zeta catalytic subunit REV3L and the inserter polymerase REV1, thereby mediating the second polymerase switching in translesion DNA synthesis. Translesion DNA synthesis releases the replication blockade of replicative polymerases, stalled in presence of DNA lesions. May also regulate another aspect of cellular response to DNA damage through regulation of the JNK-mediated phosphorylation and activation of the transcriptional activator ELK1. Inhibits the FZR1- and probably CDC20-mediated activation of the anaphase promoting complex APC thereby regulating progression through the cell cycle. Regulates TCF7L2-mediated gene transcription and may play a role in epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation.

Fidelity of chromosome segregation is monitored by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). Key components of the SAC include MAD1, MAD2, BUB1, BUB3, BUBR1, and MPS1. These proteins accumulate on...

A previous report has shown that microtubule depolymerization by nocodazole treatment arrests cell cycle extracts in M phase if containing very high densities of sperm nuclei. The use of MKP-1 further suggested that MAP kinase, the most likely target of MKP-1, may have a role in the spindle assembly checkpoint (20). However, whether classical MAP kinase is involved in the mitotic arrest remains to be determined. To address this question, we used MAP kinase-depleted extracts. We monitored the level of MPF as histone H1 kinase activity in the extracts supplemented with 9,000 sperm nuclei/μl. In the absence of nocodazole, the extracts returned to interphase after the first M phase, irrespective of whether MAP kinase was depleted or not (Fig. 3,A). In the presence of nocodazole, mock-treated extracts were arrested at the first M phase and the high MPF activity was sustained (Fig. 3,B, mock), whereas MAP kinase-depleted extracts returned to interphase after the first M phase (Fig. 3,B, αMAPK). In ...

Accurate chromosomal segregation is monitored by the mitotic checkpoint, and an increased rate of chromosomal missegregation leads to chromosomal instability (CIN). Here, we demonstrate that the HBV X protein (HBx) binds BubR1, a component of the mitotic checkpoint complex and co-localizes with BubR1 at the kinetochores. HBx binding to BubR1 attenuates the association between BubR1 and CDC20, an activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and induces slippage of mitotic arrest in the presence of microtubule poisons. In addition, HBx binding to BubR1 results in the accumulation of lagging chromosomes and chromosome bridges. In contrast, a C-terminally truncated HBx mutant (HBx(1-100)) fails to bind BubR1 and does not cause aberrant chromosomal segregation. This provides a novel mechanism for dysregulation of the mitotic checkpoint by a viral pathogen linking it to the accumulation of chromosomal instability in HBV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis.. ...

High Cdk1 activity is a conspicuous feature of cells arrested in response to SAC activation. It has been suggested that the high Cdk1 activity is required for the maintenance of SAC‐imposed arrest (Li and Cai, 1997; DAngiolella et al, 2003). However, in this study we show that high Cdk1 activity in SAC‐arrested cells is also necessary for efficient recovery, via two previously unrecognized mechanisms: (i) efficient re‐establishment of kinetochore bi‐orientation once the bi‐polar spindles have been assembled after nocodazole removal (ii) maintenance of adequate levels of Cdc20 protein, critical for the dissolution of sister‐chromatid cohesion following SAC silencing. The requirement of high Cdk1 activity for the establishment of bi‐orientation appears to be specific to the recovery from SAC‐induced metaphase arrest since high Cdk1 activity is dispensable for kinetochore bi‐orientation normally established in late S phase (Figure 2B; Supplementary Figure S4). However, the ...

Strains and media: All yeast strains used in this study are derivatives of FSY182, -183, or -185 (Weinstein and Solomon 1990) except where noted (Table 1). We used standard methods for yeast manipulations (Guthrie and Fink 1991; Solomonet al. 1992).. Plasmid construction: To construct a LYS2-marked plasmid expressing BUB3 under the control of its own promoter, the BUB3 open reading frame was amplified by PCR and ligated into either the pRS317 vector (Sikorski and Hieter 1989) or the YEp426 vector (Maet al. 1987). The upstream primer used to amplify BUB3 (5′-ATAGCGGCCGCGTGACAACCA AGC-3′) contains a NotI site (underlined). The downstream primer (5′-TCTGTCTTCTTGCGTATAGG-3′) contains a SalI site (underlined). These two primers generate a PCR product containing the BUB3 gene as well as ~250 bp of upstream and downstream sequence (~1500 bp). The PCR product was digested with NotI and SalI and ligated into a NotI/SalI-digested pRS317 or YEp426 vector to make pKC52 and pKC74. Both of these ...

FUNCTION: The protein encoded by this gene contains an N-terminal forkhead domain, two BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) motifs and a central domain with 7 divergent copies of an approximately 41-amino acid sequence. The encoded protein is required to activate the intra-S phase and G2/M phase cell cycle checkpoints in response to DNA damage. This nuclear protein interacts with phosphorylated histone H2AX near sites of DNA double-strand breaks through its BRCT motifs, and facilitates recruitment of the ATM kinase and meiotic recombination 11 protein complex to DNA damage foci. Mice with mutations in this gene exhibit growth retardation, male infertility, immune defects, chromosome instability, DNA repair defects, and radiation sensitivity.

In eukaryotic cells, accurate chromosome segregation requires the spindle assembly checkpoint, a surveillance system monitoring kinetochore attachment to microtubules of the mitotic spindle (Lara-Gonzalez et al., 2012; Musacchio, 2015). The spindle checkpoint kinase MPS1 binds to unattached kinetochores and phosphorylates kinetochore proteins, thus directing the accumulation of spindle checkpoint proteins of the MAD and BUB families (Musacchio, 2015; Ciliberto and Hauf, 2017). A subset of the MAD and BUB proteins then assemble into the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC; Musacchio, 2015). The mitotic checkpoint complex then diffuses away from the kinetochore to inhibit the ubiquitin E3 ligase anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), thus preventing mitotic exit (Sivakumar and Gorbsky, 2015). The two crucial targets ubiquitylated by the APC/C to promote mitotic exit are securin, the inhibitor of separase, and most important for this work, cyclin B, the activating subunit of a cyclin-dependent ...

Y1 - 2004/4/1. N2 - Paclitaxel stabilizes microtubules, causing mitotic arrest and activating the spindle assembly checkpoint. We determined whether suppression of the checkpoint genes Mad2 and BubR1 affects paclitaxel resistance and whether overexpression of Mad2 protein in checkpoint-defective cells enhances paclitaxel sensitivity. Suppression of Mad2 and BubR1 in paclitaxel-treated cancer cells abolished checkpoint function, resulting in paclitaxel resistance that correlated with suppression of cyclin-dependent kinase-1 activity. In contrast, overexpression of Mad2 in cells with a checkpoint defect attributable to low Mad2 expression restored checkpoint function, resulting in enhanced paclitaxel sensitivity that correlated with enhanced cyclin-dependent kinase-1 activity. However, overexpression of ...

Mller (Reviews, 27 Oct 2006, p. yielding monopolar spindles or bipolar spindles missing centrosomes, in keeping with earlier observations (7,8). Therefore delays mitotic development inside a SAC-dependent way. The simplest description for SAC activation is usually that inhibition of -TuRC induces spindle problems that prevent kinetochores from attaining complete MT occupancy and/or arriving under tension. Nevertheless, the writers argue that simple explanation isnt sufficient to describe their observations, saying that -TuRCCdeficient cells display abundant microtubule arrays with amphitelic-like chromosome micro-tubule connection. Rather, they hypothesize that -tubulin is usually a part of a signaling complicated that creates the SAC when -TuRC protein are abrogated. SAC activation in -TuRCCdeficient cells argues against the hypothesis that -tubulin can be an activator from the SAC, although inside a formal feeling, -TuRC proteins become negative regulators from the SAC, as will additionally ...

CENP-E has previously been shown to bind to kinetochores and microtubules and stabilize the interaction between them (Putkey et al., 2002), thereby contributing to silencing mitotic checkpoint signaling. Now, we have shown that CENP-E is also required in vitro and in vivo for maximal mitotic checkpoint signal generation at individual kinetochores, and is thus bifunctional in checkpoint signaling. We find that CENP-E stimulates recruitment of its binding partner BubR1 to kinetochores in HeLa cells and in MEFs. In addition, CENP-E directly stimulates the kinase (and autokinase) activity of BubR1 in vitro and in primary MEFs (Fig. 8). The simplest view is that CENP-E amplifies a basal mitotic checkpoint that is sufficient for long-term arrest when large numbers of kinetochores are unattached, but is of insufficient strength for one or a few kinetochores to produce a checkpoint signal that is able to sustain mitotic arrest.. Several lines of evidence offer strong support for our proposal that CENP-E ...

Exit from mitosis requires the degradation of regulatory proteins including the mitotic cyclins and securin through ubiquitination by the anaphase promoting complex bound to Cdc20 or Cdh1. Cdc20-APC is regulated through inhibition by the spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD2. Knowledge of Cdh1-APC regulation is limited to the phosphorylation-dependent dissociation of Cdh1 from APC. A novel means of regulating Cdh1 by the MAD2-related gene, MAD2L2, is reported. MAD2L2 specifically binds and inhibits Cdh1-APC, paralleling the effect of MAD2 on Cdc20. It is suggested that MAD2L2 and MAD2 inhibit the release of substrates from APC and a mechanism of inhibition is proposed (Pfleger, 2001a). The specificity of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation with regard to the selection of substrates to be polyubiquitinated has only been determined rather recently. Substrate targeting by the N-end rule and HECT (homology to E6AP carboxyl terminus) domain ubiquitin ligases occurs through substrate-specific ...

Now, what factors affect checkpoint_age? When we execute queries that change pages (i.e., INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), we perform writes to the log, we change pages, and checkpoint_age is growing. When we perform flushing of changed pages, checkpoint_age is going down.. So that means the main way we have to keep checkpoint_age within point T is to change the number of pages being flushed per second. That way, we can keep checkpoint_age down.. If this doesnt help-and checkpoint_age keeps growing beyone T toward async-we have a second control mechanism: We can add a delay into INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations. This way we prevent checkpoint_age from growing and reaching async.. To summarize, the idea of our algorithm is : We keep checkpoint_age within point T by increasing or decreasing the number of pages flushed per second. If checkpoint_age continues to grow, we add throttling to prevent it. The throttling depends on the position of checkpoint_age - the closer to async, the bigger the ...

Cell division in mitosis and meiosis is governed by evolutionary highly conserved protein kinases and phosphatases, controlling the timely execution of key events such as nuclear envelope breakdown, spindle assembly, chromosome attachment to the spindle and chromosome segregation, and cell cycle exit. In mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) controls the proper attachment to and alignment of chromosomes on the spindle. The SAC detects errors and induces a cell cycle arrest in metaphase, preventing chromatid separation. Once all chromosomes are properly attached, the SAC-dependent arrest is relieved and chromatids separate evenly into daughter cells. The signaling cascade leading to checkpoint arrest depends on several protein kinases that are conserved from yeast to man. In meiosis, haploid cells containing new genetic combinations are generated from a diploid cell through two specialized cell divisions. Though apparently less robust, SAC control also exists in meiosis. Recently, it has emerged

Each mitotic chromosome is constituted by two sister chromatids whose correct segregation to the daughter cells is ensured by amphitelic attachment, in which the two sister kinetochores (KTs) are attached to microtubules (MTs) from opposite mitotic spindle poles. KT mis-attachments can occur in early mitosis and cause chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy if not corrected. These mis-attachments include monotelic (one attached and one unattached sister KT), syntelic (both sister KTs attached to the same spindle pole), and merotelic (a single KT attached to MTs from opposite spindle poles) attachments. A biochemical pathway named the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) is responsible for delaying anaphase onset to allow correction of KT mis-attachments. SAC activation is believed to occur due to KT localization of certain SAC proteins and/or lack of tension, but only monotelic attachment has been proven to activate the SAC. To determine if and how other KT mis-attachments may activate the SAC, ...

We also show that this ATPase activity of PICH is required for temporal and spatial control of PICH localization to chromatin and that Plk1 likely controls PICH localization through phosphorylation of proteins unique from PICH itself. This work strengthens the view that PICH is an important, Plk1-regulated enzyme, whose ATPase activity is essential for maintenance of genome integrity. Although not required for the spindle assembly checkpoint, PICH is clearly important for faithful chromosome segregation.

Components of the SAC include the Mad1, Mad2, BubR1 (Mad3) and Bub3 proteins and the Bub1, Mps1 (Mph1) and Aurora-B kinases. When individual kinetochores are not bound to spindle microtubules checkpoint proteins are recruited to the unattached kinetochore and the SAC is activated. Kinetochore association of Mad2 induces a conformational change which allows it to bind Mad3 and Cdc20 to form a potent inhibitor, the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a specialized E3 ubiquitin ligase. When the checkpoint is satisfied the spindle checkpoint signal is silenced and the Cdc20-APC/C is activated. This triggers the poly-ubiquitination of securin and cyclin, which allows the dissolution of sister chromatid cohesion and mitotic progression1 London N, Biggins S.

Essential component of the mitotic checkpoint. Required for normal mitosis progression. The mitotic checkpoint delays anaphase until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. One of its checkpoint functions is to inhibit the activity of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) by blocking the binding of CDC20 to APC/C, independently of its kinase activity. The other is to monitor kinetochore activities that depend on the kinetochore motor CENPE. Required for kinetochore localization of CENPE. Negatively regulates PLK1 activity in interphase cells and suppresses centrosome amplification. Also implicated in triggering apoptosis in polyploid cells that exit aberrantly from mitotic arrest.

In fiscal year 2008 thirty-nine tactical checkpoints were in operation. Tactical checkpoints lack permanent buildings, and support permanent checkpoints by monitoring and inspecting traffic on secondary roads that the Border Patrol determined are likely to be used by individuals in the country illegally or smugglers to evade apprehension at permanent checkpoints. A tactical checkpoint might consist of vehicles, traffic cones, signs, a portable water supply, a cage for canines (if deployed), and portable rest facilities.[2]. Due to Congressional restrictions against the funding of permanent checkpoints in the Tucson sector, all of its checkpoints are tactical checkpoints. These were required to relocate every seven days, amended to every 14 days in 2005. Due to the need for road shoulder space and restrictions on placing checkpoints near curves, the number of sites is limited, and the relocation in practice means that checkpoints are periodically shut down. In 2005, the median tactical ...

Gang Zhang from the Nilsson group has been investigating the spindle assembly checkpoint in human cells and how it controls the timing of chromosome segregation. In particularly he has focused on understanding how the checkpoint protein Mad1 localized to kinetochores, large protein structures on chromosomes that bind to microtubules. It is known that Mad1 localization is important for checkpoint function but the underlying protein-protein interactions and their regulation have not been uncovered.. In collaboration with the Nielsen lab at CPR the researchers used an in vivo proximity dependent biotinylation approach coupled with mass spectrometry to identify Mad1 interactors. This revealed a so far elusive interaction with the Bub1 checkpoint protein that the researchers further characterized. Interestingly the binding of Mad1 and Bub1 required the phosphorylation of Bub1 by mitotic kinases and a novel generated phospho-specific antibody revealed that Bub1 was specifically phosphorylated on ...

Mouse models of CIN. The most extensive evaluation of the role of aneuploidy in tumour formation stems from the analysis of mouse models with conditional or hypomorphic mutations in mitotic checkpoint genes [[10],[12],[14],[111],[112],[133],[134],[135],[136]]. Complete inactivation of the checkpoint early in embryogenesis leads to embryonic lethality, underscoring the essential role of the checkpoint in organism development. However, genetically engineered mice with an attenuated mitotic checkpoint are viable and display CIN and increased levels of aneuploidy in cells and tissues [[10],[12],[14],[111],[112],[133],[136],[137],[138],[139]]. Notably, as these animal models induce aneuploidy through continued CIN, the effect of aneuploidy in tumour development independently of CIN cannot be assessed. Several of these mice have increased spontaneous tumorigenesis, strongly supporting that CIN increases the probability of tumour formation ([[10],[110],[133],[139]]; for extensive reviews of the types ...

This mapping shows where the WCAG 1.0 checkpoints appear in the 16 June 2003 Working Draft. The WCAG 2.0 Working Draft is prepared by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) to show how more generalized (less HTML-specific) WCAG checkpoints might read. The Working Draft is not based on consensus of the WCAG Working Group nor has it gone through W3C process. Checkpoints in the WCAG 2.0 Working Draft in no way supersede the checkpoints in WCAG 1.0.. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group is working carefully to enable organizations and individuals that are currently using WCAG 1.0 (which remains stable and referenceable at this time) to ensure that they will eventually be able to make a smooth transition to WCAG 2.0.. ...

The function of immune checkpoints such as PD-1, CTLA-4, GITR- KIR and 4-1BB in immune regulation is explained, providing an overview of the molecules and mechanisms involved. The development of novel cancer immunotherapy by blocking the binding and action of these checkpoints is discussed.

Police forces in Hanoi set up checkpoints throughout the capital from the morning of September 4 to control the flow of vehicles and people between high-risk areas or red zones, and other parts of the city, in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.

CCT244747 is a potent, orally bioavailable and highly selective CHK1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 7.7 nM; CCT244747 also abrogates G2 checkpoint with an IC50 of 29 nM ...
