Abstract
The status of spindle checkpoint signaling depends on the balance of two opposing dynamic processes that regulate the highly unusual two-state behavior of Mad2. In mitosis, a Mad1-Mad2 core complex recruits cytosolic Mad2 to kinetochores through Mad2 dimerization and converts Mad2 to a conformer amenable to Cdc20 binding, thereby facilitating checkpoint activation. p31(comet) inactivates the checkpoint through binding to Mad1- or Cdc20-bound Mad2, thereby preventing Mad2 activation and promoting the dissociation of the Mad2-Cdc20 complex. Here, we report the crystal structure of the Mad2-p31(comet) complex. The C-terminal region of Mad2 that undergoes rearrangement in different Mad2 conformers is a major structural determinant for p31(comet) binding, explaining the specificity of p31(comet) toward Mad1- or Cdc20-bound Mad2. p31(comet) adopts a fold strikingly similar to that of Mad2 and binds at the dimerization interface of Mad2. Thus, p31(comet) exploits the two-state behavior of Mad2 to block its activation by acting as an "anti-Mad2."

Figure 4. Interactions between Mad2 and p31^comet
(A) Ribbon diagrams of the Mad2-p31^comet complex. Two different views are shown to provide a clearer perspective of the Mad2-p31^comet interface. Helix αC in Mad2 is colored cyan to highlight its central role in establishing interactions between Mad2 and p31^comet. Three main patches of interactions at the Mad2-p31^comet interface are labeled and circled with red dashed lines.
(B–D) Interactions between Mad2 and p31^comet. The side chains of contacting residues are shown as sticks. Nitrogen and oxygen atoms are colored blue and red, respectively. Mad2 carbons are colored yellow and p31^comet carbons are colored gray and labeled in italics. The tightly bound water molecules are drawn as red spheres in (C).

Figure 6. A Structural Model for the Blockage of Mad1-Assisted Mad2 Activation by p31^comet
(A) A structural model of the Mad1-Mad2-p31^comet complex. The Mad2 molecule in the Mad2-p31^comet complex was superimposed with the Mad2 molecules in the Mad1-Mad2 complex (PDB ID 1GO4). For clarity, the Mad2 monomers in the Mad1-Mad2 complex are omitted. Mad1 is colored green, with its Mad2-binding region colored red. The three interacting helices in Mad2-p31^comet are indicated.
(B) A surface representation to show that C-Mad2 uses a similar surface for the binding of p31^comet or O-Mad2. The p31^comet-binding residues of C-Mad2 are colored yellow, and the four key interacting residues, R133, Q134, R184 and F141, are colored red. The O-Mad2-binding residues of C-Mad2 are colored yellow. The same four residues R133, Q134, R184, and F141 (red) that are important for p31^comet binding are also involved in O-Mad2 binding.
(C) Ribbon diagram of the O-Mad2–C-Mad2 dimer (Mapelli et al., 2007). O-Mad2 is colored in cyan. C-Mad2 is colored blue with its C-terminal region shown in yellow. MBP1 is in red. The αC helices are labeled.
(D) Ribbon diagram of the Mad2-p31^comet complex with C-Mad2 in the same orientation as in (C).
(E) Overlay of ribbon diagrams of the O-Mad2–C-Mad2 dimer and the Mad2-p31^comet complex. The C-Mad2 molecules in both structures are superimposed. The color scheme is the same as in (C) and (D).

Figure 2. Ribbon drawing of the structures of N1-Mad2 (left)16, N2-Mad2 R133A (middle, this study), and ligand-bound Mad2 (right)11. The -strands are blue, -helices green, and loops ivory. The non-natural Mad2-binding peptide, MBP1, is red. The structural elements of Mad2 that undergo major changes between the N1 and N2 conformers or upon peptide binding are yellow and orange. The strands are numbered 1 -8 and the helices are labeled A -C in the N1-Mad2 structure. MBP1 is labeled as 1' in the Mad2 -MBP1 complex. The secondary structure elements of the N2-Mad2 R133A and Mad2 -MBP1 structures are labeled similarly to those of N1-Mad2 with the exception of 9, which is unstructured in N1-Mad2. Arg133 is shown as ball-and-stick in the N1-Mad2 structure. Generated with MolScript40 and Raster3D^41.

Figure 6. Hypothetical models for the stabilization of the Mad2 -Cdc20 interaction by the spindle assembly checkpoint. An inhibitory signal is generated at the unattached kinetochore (signified by a red dot), which is then transduced by Bub1and Bub3. Bub1 is a kinase that forms a complex with Bub3. Bub1 and Bub3 lie upstream of Mad1 and Mad2, which also interact physically. Mad1 is a coiled-coil protein that can form a homodimer and becomes phosphorylated upon activation of the checkpoint. However, the role of Mad1 phosphorylation is unclear. Mad2 binds to the C-terminal third of the Mad1 protein and this binding requires the C-terminal tail of Mad2. To prevent the activation of the APCCdc20 complex, Mad2 has to associate with Cdc20. In one model, the Mad2 -Cdc20 complex is further strengthened by factor X; the binding of factor X to Mad2 -Cdc20 is in turn regulated by the checkpoint. In the second model, the binding of Mad2 to Cdc20 is inhibited by factor Y, whose activity is suppressed by the checkpoint. The two mechanisms are not mutually exclusive. Because the C-terminal tail of Mad2 is required for its own oligomerization and for its interactions with Mad1 and CDC20, we speculate that the regulation of Mad2 may involve conformational changes of its C-terminal region.
