MUN (MERISTEM UNSTRUCTURED), encoding a SPC24 homolog of NDC80 kinetochore complex, affects development through cell division in Arabidopsis thaliana.
-
SPC24 is a subunit of the four-protein NDC80 outer-kinetochore complex that connects spindle microtubules to the kinetochore and mediates chromosome segregation during cell division.
"The NDC80 complex, composed of four proteins, NDC80, NUF2, SPC24 and SPC25, is localized at the outer kinetochore and connects spindle fibers to the kinetochore."
-
AtSPC24/MUN colocalizes with the centromeric histone variant CENH3 at the centromere; interactions among NDC80-complex components were confirmed by yeast two-hybrid and in planta co-immunoprecipitation.
"Interactions among the components of the NDC80 complex were confirmed in a yeast two-hybrid assay and in planta co-immunoprecipitation."
-
mun mutants show embryo arrest, DNA aneuploidy, chromosome-segregation defects and a low cell-division rate; null alleles are embryonic lethal.
"The mutant exhibits stunted growth, embryo arrest, DNA aneuploidy, and defects in chromosome segregation with a low cell division rate."
AtNUF2 modulates spindle microtubule organization and chromosome segregation during mitosis.
