Gene Description

MAD2L1 (Mitotic Arrest Deficient 2-Like 1) encodes a HORMA domain-containing protein that is a core effector of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). MAD2 exists in two interconvertible conformations: an open form (O-MAD2) that predominates in the cytosol and a closed form (C-MAD2) that binds its key targets. At unattached kinetochores during prometaphase, MAD1:C-MAD2 core complexes recruit cytosolic O-MAD2 and catalyze its conversion to C-MAD2, enabling binding to CDC20. The resulting CDC20:MAD2 complex associates with BUB3 and BUBR1 to form the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C-CDC20), thereby preventing premature anaphase until all chromosomes achieve proper bipolar attachment. Checkpoint silencing is mediated by p31comet (MAD2L1BP) and the AAA+ ATPase TRIP13, which remodel C-MAD2 back to O-MAD2 and disassemble the MCC. MAD2 also localizes to the nuclear pore complex via TPR during interphase, potentially facilitating early MCC assembly.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000776 kinetochore
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: MAD2 localization to kinetochores is well-established and central to its checkpoint function. The original discovery paper (PMID:8824189) showed MAD2 localizes to kinetochores after chromosome condensation but is absent from kinetochores at metaphase.
Reason: Kinetochore localization is a core aspect of MAD2 function. IBA inference from phylogenetic analysis is consistent with abundant experimental evidence showing MAD2 recruitment to unattached kinetochores via the MAD1:MAD2 core complex.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8824189
Human, or Homo sapiens, MAD2 (hsMAD2) was localized at the kinetochore after chromosome condensation but was no longer observed at the kinetochore in metaphase, suggesting that MAD2 might monitor the completeness of the spindle-kinetochore attachment
PMID:18981471
Depletion of Tpr decreases the levels of Mad1 at kinetochores during prometaphase, correlating with the inability of Mad1 to activate Mad2

GO:0007094 mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint signaling
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: MAD2 is a core component of the spindle assembly checkpoint. The deep research confirms that MAD2 is "a core effector of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC)" and is essential for MCC formation and APC/C inhibition.
Reason: This is the primary biological process for MAD2. The IBA annotation is fully consistent with decades of research establishing MAD2 as essential for SAC signaling.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8824189
The human homolog of MAD2 was isolated and shown to be a necessary component of the mitotic checkpoint in HeLa cells by antibody electroporation experiments

GO:0000776 kinetochore
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Computational annotation to kinetochore based on combined automated methods. Duplicates the IBA annotation above.
Reason: Consistent with the IBA annotation and extensive experimental evidence. Redundant annotations with different evidence types are acceptable.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:8824189
Human, or Homo sapiens, MAD2 (hsMAD2) was localized at the kinetochore after chromosome condensation but was no longer observed at the kinetochore in metaphase
GO:0000922 spindle pole
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: UniProt subcellular location annotation indicates spindle pole localization. The deep research mentions MAD2 presence at spindle poles as part of mitotic checkpoint dynamics.
Reason: Spindle pole localization is documented in UniProt and consistent with MAD2's role in mitotic checkpoint function. This represents a secondary localization site during mitosis.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20133940
Here, we show association of another nucleoporin, termed Tpr (translocated promoter region), with the molecular motors dynein and dynactin, which both orchestrate with the spindle checkpoints Mad1 and Mad2 during cell division
GO:0005634 nucleus
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Nuclear localization is inferred from automated methods. UniProt confirms nuclear localization through IDA evidence.
Reason: Nuclear localization is experimentally validated (see IDA annotations below). MAD2 is recruited to the nuclear pore complex by TPR during interphase.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18981471
Tpr directly binds to Mad1 and Mad2...Depletion of Tpr in HeLa cells disrupts the NPC localization of Mad1 and Mad2 during interphase
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Cytoplasmic localization is inferred from automated methods. The open form of MAD2 (O-MAD2) exists as a cytosolic pool that is recruited to kinetochores.
Reason: The cytosolic O-MAD2 pool is essential for the template model of MAD2 activation. Cytoplasmic localization is well-documented.
Supporting Evidence:

GO:0051301 cell division

GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: Inferred from UniProt keyword "Cell division". MAD2 function in the spindle checkpoint is essential for proper cell division.
Reason: This is a broader process that encompasses the SAC. MAD2's role in preventing premature anaphase is essential for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division.
Supporting Evidence:

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, MAD2 is required for mitotic arrest if the spindle assembly is perturbed
GO:0051783 regulation of nuclear division

Summary: ARBA machine learning annotation for regulation of nuclear division. MAD2 regulates nuclear division by controlling the metaphase-to-anaphase transition.
Reason: This is an appropriate parent term for MAD2's role in checkpoint signaling. MAD2-mediated MCC formation regulates the timing of anaphase onset.

Reason: Highly accurate annotation. The MAD1:C-MAD2 core complex at kinetochores is essential for templated conversion of O-MAD2 to C-MAD2 and subsequent CDC20 capture.

Core Functions

MAD2 homodimerization (specifically O-MAD2:C-MAD2 conformational heterodimer) is essential for the template model of MAD2 activation. Crystal structures demonstrate both asymmetric (O:C) and symmetric (C:C) dimers.

MAD2 within the MCC inhibits the ubiquitin ligase activity of APC/C-CDC20, preventing ubiquitination of securin and cyclin B until checkpoint satisfaction.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:10700282
    The checkpoint protein Mad2 inhibits the activity of the anaphase promoting complex by sequestering Cdc20
  • PMID:11459825
