#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

When a kinetochore is unattached, the outer kinetochore component Knl1 is phosphorylated by the checkpoint kinase Mps1.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Phosphorylated Knl1 binds the checkpoint protein kinase Bub1-Bub3 and checkpoint protein BubR1. These three proteins, recruit the Mad1-Mad2 complex to the kinetochore.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

The Mad1-Mad2 complex bound to a kinetochore adopts the active closed form (Mad2-C) and has the ability to convert inactive open Mad2 (Mad2-O) in the cytoplasm into active closed Mad2 is able to inhibit APC/Ccdc²⁰
