Abstract excerpt
Mad2, a conserved core component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) in eukaryotes, delays anaphase onset in case of incorrect kinetochore-microtubule attachment. However, its functions in plant-pathogenic fungi remain largely unknown. Here, we identified the Mad2 homologue in rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (MoMad2), which shows high similarity with Mad2 in fission yeast. When expressed in fission...
