MAD2

Gene
MAD2
Protein
Spindle assembly checkpoint component MAD2
Organism
Candida albicans (strain SC5314 / ATCC MYA-2876)
Length
214 amino acids
Function
Central component of the spindle assembly checkpoint which is a feedback control that prevents cells with incompletely assembled spindles from leaving mitosis. Plays a key role in virulence, probably through cell cycle checkpoint functions, especially those monitoring the integrity of DNA and chromosome segregation, which might be required for the pathogen to repair damage caused by host defense.
Similarity
Belongs to the MAD2 family.

Protein
Mitotic spindle checkpoint protein MAD2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
209 amino acids
Function
Required for the execution of the mitotic checkpoint which monitors the process of kinetochore-spindle attachment and delays the onset of anaphase when this process is not complete. It inhibits the activity of the anaphase promoting complex by sequestering CDC20 until all chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate.
Similarity
Belongs to the MAD2 family.

Protein
Mitotic spindle checkpoint component mad2
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
203 amino acids
Function
Feedback control that prevents cells with incompletely assembled spindles from leaving mitosis. It interacts with the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) thereby inhibiting APC/C-dependent proteolysis, a step required for exit from mitosis.
Similarity
Belongs to the MAD2 family.

Protein
Mitotic spindle checkpoint component MAD2
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
196 amino acids
Function
Central component of the spindle assembly checkpoint which is a feedback control that prevents cells with incompletely assembled spindles from leaving mitosis. Thought to be recruited to unattached kinetochores by MAD1. During checkpoint activity, MAD2 is relayed from the MAD1-MAD2 complex to the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC). MCC and presumably the MAD2-CDC20 subcomplex inhibit the ubiquitin ligase activity of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) by preventing its activation by CDC20.
Similarity
Belongs to the MAD2 family.
