Abstract excerpt
During the metaphase-anaphase transition, the spindle checkpoint prevents segregation of chromosomes if the spindle assembly is perturbed. Critical components of this checkpoint are the MAD and BUB families of proteins, which prevent the proteolysis of Pds1 and B cyclins, producing mitotic arrest. In the present study, we first intended to resolve the role of the hsMAD2 gene in human cancer by determining the...
