Abstract excerpt
Unattached kinetochores generate an anaphase inhibitor, through the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), that allows cells more time to establish proper kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) linkages and thus avoid aneuploidy. Mad1 is the receptor for Mad2 at kinetochores, where it catalyzes the formation of Mad2-Cdc20 complexes, an essential part of the anaphase inhibitor, but whether it has any other mitotic function is...
