Abstract
The master spindle checkpoint kinase Mps1 senses kinetochore-microtubule attachment and promotes checkpoint signaling to ensure accurate chromosome segregation. The kinetochore scaffold Knl1, when phosphorylated by Mps1, recruits checkpoint complexes Bub1-Bub3 and BubR1-Bub3 to unattached kinetochores. Active checkpoint signaling ultimately enhances the assembly of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) consisting of BubR1-Bub3, Mad2, and Cdc20, which inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome bound to Cdc20 (APC/CCdc20) to delay anaphase onset. Using in vitro reconstitution, we show that Mps1 promotes APC/C inhibition by MCC components through phosphorylating Bub1 and Mad1. Phosphorylated Bub1 binds to Mad1-Mad2. Phosphorylated Mad1 directly interacts with Cdc20. Mutations of Mps1 phosphorylation sites in Bub1 or Mad1 abrogate the spindle checkpoint in human cells. Therefore, Mps1 promotes checkpoint activation through sequentially phosphorylating Knl1, Bub1, and Mad1. This sequential multi-target phosphorylation cascade makes the checkpoint highly responsive to Mps1 and to kinetochore-microtubule attachment.

Figure 7. A sequential multi-target phosphorylation cascade by Mps1 promotes the assembly and activation of the Bub1âMad1 scaffold.(A) Mps1 recognizes unattached kinetochores (KT) through its direct binding to the Ndc80 complex (Ndc80C). At kinetochores, Mps1 first phosphorylates Knl1 at multiple MELT motifs to recruit the Bub1âBub3 complex (a). After Cdk1 phosphorylates Bub1 S459, Mps1 then phosphorylates Bub1 T461 (b). The doubly phosphorylated Bub1 conserved motif (CM) binds to and recruits the Mad1âC-Mad2 core complex. Mps1 then phosphorylates Mad1 at T716, and this phosphorylation enables Mad1 binding to Cdc20 (c). (B) The boxed region in (A) is magnified and shown with more molecular details here. The Mad1âC-Mad2 core complex bound to phosphorylated Bub1 CM can further recruit O-Mad2 and convert it to I-Mad2. The WD40 domain of Cdc20 is anchored to the Phe and KEN boxes of Bub1, whereas the N-terminal basic tail of Cdc20 is bound by the phosphorylated Mad1 CTD. This bipartite Cdc20-binding mode positions the MIM of Cdc20 close to I-Mad2, promoting the formation of the C-Mad2âCdc20 complex. This binary complex can further bind to BubR1 (bound to Bub1 or from cytosol) to form MCC.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.22513.012 |
