Brief description: |
mdf-2 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the Mad2p spindle assembly checkpoint protein; mdf-2 activity is essential for regulation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) during oocyte meiosis I as well as for normal brood size, growth rates, and embryonic, larval, and vulval development; in addition, mdf-2 is essential for mitotic spindle checkpoint activity in response to anoxia, in which microscopically visible movement ceases and cell cycle progression reversibly arrests; by genetic analyses and comparison to studies in budding yeast, MDF-2 likely negatively regulates APC activity by inhibiting the activity of the FZY-1/CDC20p APC co-activator.
