Results provide evidence that the truncation of two beta strands (beta7 and beta8) of Mad2 destabilize the safety belt and affect the Cdc20-Mad2 interaction leading to defects in the spindle checkpoint activation.
Title: C-terminal region of Mad2 plays an important role during mitotic spindle checkpoint in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

A kinase-dead allele of the fission yeast MPS1 homolog (Mph1) is checkpoint defective and levels of anaphase promoting complex-associated Mad2 and Mad3 are dramatically reduced in this mutant.
Title: Kinase activity of fission yeast Mph1 is required for Mad2 and Mad3 to stably bind the anaphase promoting complex.

These results suggest that CK2 has a role in the spindle checkpoint by regulating Mad2p.
Title: Casein kinase II is required for the spindle assembly checkpoint by regulating Mad2p in fission yeast.

analysis of dual regulation of Mad2 localization on kinetochores by Bub1 and Dam1/DASH that ensure proper spindle interaction
Title: Dual regulation of Mad2 localization on kinetochores by Bub1 and Dam1/DASH that ensure proper spindle interaction.

the Mad3 KEN box is a critical mediator of Cdc20-APC/C inhibition, without which neither Mad3 nor Mad2 can associate with the APC/C or inhibit anaphase onset
Title: The spindle checkpoint functions of Mad3 and Mad2 depend on a Mad3 KEN box-mediated interaction with Cdc20-anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C).
