C716A | mutation in catalytic cysteine. Cells transfected with C716A fail to accumulate securin with significant reduction in Mad2 level. Cell show a significant increase in cells displaying misaligned chromosomes, lagging chromosomes during mitotic exit, and multinucleation | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | ubiquitin ligase Smurf2 is required for the spindle checkpoint. Smurf2 localizes to the centrosome, mitotic midbody, and centromeres. Smurf2 depletion or the expression of a catalytically inactive Smurf2 results in misaligned and lagging chromosomes, premature anaphase onset, and defective cytokinesis. Smurf2 inactivation prevents nocodazole-treated cells from accumulating cyclin B and securin and prometaphase arrest. The silencing of Cdc20 in Smurf2-depleted cells restores mitotic accumulation of cyclin B and securin. Smurf2 depletion results in enhanced polyubiquitination and degradation of Mad2, a critical checkpoint effector. Mad2 is mislocalized in Smurf2-depleted cells | Homo sapiens |
