General description

Plk1-interacting checkpoint helicase (PICH ) is an essential component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (Baumann, C., et al. (2007). Cell 128:101–114). This protein is an ATPase family SNF2 member, and serves as a binding partner and substrate for Plk1. When PICH is phosphorylated, it retrieves Plk1 which serves to mediate the localization of PICH. As a DNA helicase, PICH gathers at kinetochores and centromeres during prometaphase, acting as a necessary part of the spindle assembly checkpoint by recruiting MAD2 and mediating chromatin centromeric tension. Depleted PICH results in the cancellation of the spindle checkpoint causing large scale missegregation of the chromosome.

We identify PICH (Plk1-interacting checkpoint "helicase"), a member of the SNF2 ATPase family, as an interaction partner and substrate of Plk1. Following phosphorylation of PICH on the Cdk1 site T1063, Plk1 is recruited to PICH and controls its localization. Starting

Human cells lacking RIF1 are highly sensitive to replication inhibitors, but the reasons for this sensitivity have been enigmatic. Here, we show that RIF1 must be present both during replication stress and in the ensuing recovery period to promote cell

Aneuploidy results in decreased cellular fitness in many species and model systems. However, aneuploidy is commonly found in cancer cells and often correlates with aggressive growth, suggesting that the impact of aneuploidy on cellular fitness is context dependent. The BRG1
