The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis by preventing the onset of anaphase when the kinetochore is not attached. The mechanism for activation of the SAC has been well studied yet it remains ambiguous how the SAC is silenced after chromosome bipolar attachment. Recently we identified Bmh1, one of the two 14-3-3 proteins in S. cerevisiae, as a regulator of the SAC silencing. Data from our lab and others indicates that Bmh1 sequesters Fin1 and PP1, a key SAC silencing phosphatase, until early anaphase. We find this prevents premature SAC silencing. In addition, immediately following anaphase entry, the Cdc14 early anaphase release (FEAR) pathway promotes the release of Fin1-PP1 from Bmh1 allowing Fin1-PP1 to localize on the kinetochore. Importantly we find that kinetochore recruitment of Fin1-PP1 promotes the removal of the SAC protein Bub1 from the kinetochore during anaphase, thereby revealing a mechanism for SAC disassembly in anaphase. We are continuing to investigate the molecular mechanism for Fin1-PP1 mediated SAC disassembly and its physiological function during the cell cycle.
