The Mad2 Spindle Checkpoint Protein Undergoes Similar Major Conformational Changes upon Binding to Either Mad1 or Cdc20
Overview
Mad2 participates in spindle checkpoint inhibition of APC(Cdc20). We show, that RNAi-mediated suppression of Mad1 function in mammalian cells causes, loss of Mad2 kinetochore localization and impairment of the spindle, checkpoint. Mad1 and Cdc20 contain Mad2 binding motifs that share a common, consensus. We have identified a class of Mad2 binding peptides with a, similar consensus. Binding of one of these ligands, MBP1, triggers an, extensive rearrangement of the tertiary structure of Mad2. Mad2 also, undergoes a similar striking structural change upon binding to a Mad1 or, Cdc20 binding motif peptide. Our data suggest that, upon checkpoint, activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to unattached kinetochores and may promote, binding of Mad2 to Cdc20.
