Abstract excerpt
In normal cells, the accuracy of chromosome segregation which assures cells euploidy depends on mitosis mechanics and on proper functioning of a specific complex of proteins represented by the error-checking spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). SAC proteins are deeply involved in correct cell divisions, but some of these, such as mitotic arrest-deficient proteins (Mad1 and Mad2), are critical. Mad1 and Mad2 are...
