The kinetochore checkpoint pathway, involving the Mad1, Mad2, Mad3, Bub1, Bub3 and Mps1 proteins, prevents anaphase entry and mitotic exit by inhibiting the Anaphase Promoting Complex activator Cdc20 in response to monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores to spindle fibers. We show here that Cdc20, which had been previously shown to interact physically with Mad2 and Mad3, associates also with Bub3 and association is upregulated upon checkpoint activation.

Formation of the Bub3/Cdc20 complex requires all kinetochore checkpoint proteins but, surprisingly, not intact kinetochores. Conversely, point mutations altering the conserved WD40 motifs of Bub3, which might be involved in the formation of a β-propeller fold devoted to protein-protein interactions, disrupt its association with Mad2, Mad3 and Cdc20, as well as proper checkpoint response. We suggest that Bub3 could serve as a platform for interactions between kinetochore checkpoint proteins, and its association with Mad1, Mad2, Mad3 and Cdc20 might be instrumental for checkpoint activation

Abstract

The kinetochore checkpoint pathway, involving the Mad1, Mad2, Mad3, Bub1, Bub3 and Mps1 proteins, prevents anaphase entry and mitotic exit by inhibiting the Anaphase Promoting Complex activator Cdc20 in response to monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores to spindle fibers. We show here that Cdc20, which had been previously shown to interact physically with Mad2 and Mad3, associates also with Bub3 and association is upregulated upon checkpoint activation. Moreover, co-fractionation experiments suggest that Mad2, Mad3 and Bub3 may be concomitantly present in protein complexes with Cdc20. Formation of the Bub3/Cdc20 complex requires all kinetochore checkpoint proteins but, surprisingly, not intact kinetochores. Conversely, point mutations altering the conserved WD40 motifs of Bub3, which might be involved in the formation of a β-propeller fold devoted to protein-protein interactions, disrupt its association with Mad2, Mad3 and Cdc20, as well as proper checkpoint response. We suggest that Bub3 could serve as a platform for interactions between kinetochore checkpoint proteins, and its association with Mad1, Mad2, Mad3 and Cdc20 might be instrumental for checkpoint activation
