An in vitro assay for the inhibition of microtubule polymerization identified Op18/stathmin as a microlubule catastrophe factor. Op18/stathmin appears to exact its effect by binding to tubulin dimers. Op18/stathmin had previously been identified as an oncoprotein.

XKCM1 was the first catastrophe factor to be identified using a cloning approach. Depletion of the protein in Xenopus egg extracts results in long microtubules because of a decrease in the catastrophe frequency. It is localized onto spindle poles and kinetochores and may play important roles during chromosome oscillation in prometaphase and segregation in anaphase.

This paper describes the cloning of human MAD2 and the kinetochore localization of the protein. Interestingly, MAD2 localizes only to kinetochores that are not attached to microtubules. Antibody electroporation shows MAD2 to be necessary for mitotic arrest in response to spindle disruption.

Micromanipulation of a free chromosome in mantid spermatocytes results in dephosphorylation of the 3F3/2 phospho-epitope. This result provides the first direct link between this epitope and the spindle assembly checkpoint.

This paper describes the cloning of Xenopus MAD2 and the localization of MAD2 to kinetochores. As observed for the human homolog, Xenopus MAD2 only localized to kinetochores that were not attached to microtubules, and the spindle assembly checkpoint could be inhibited with antibodies against MAD2.

This paper describes the cloning of murine BUB1 and the kinetochore localization of the protein. Dominant negative experiments in HeLa cells suggest that BUB1 functions in normal mitosis as well as in the mitotic arrest and apoptotic responses to spindle damage.

Curr Biol 1996, 6:1609-1620. cdc55 mutant S. cerevisiae are able to inactivate mitosis-promoting factor and exit mitosis even in the presence of spindle damage. This escape is achieved via inhibitory phosphorylation on Cdc28, suggesting that Cdc55 is required to maintain phosphatase activity in order to maintain a mitotic arrest.

This paper shows that several aneuploid colorectal cancer cell lines exhibit a continuous chromosome gain and loss, suggesting that these cells have an inherent defect in chromosome segregation. It is demonstrated that mere aneuploidy does not necessarily result in karyotypic instability, suggesting that the observed defect is due to a genetic mutation.
