Supplementary information

ZWINT also known as ZW10 interactor is a protein that plays an important role in the attachment of kinetochores to the spindle microtubules during mitosis. It has a molecular weight of approximately 35 kDa. This protein is broadly expressed in various tissues with especially high presence in dividing cells reflecting its importance in cell division processes.
Biological function summary

ZWINT functions as a part of the kinetochore complex which is essential for chromosome segregation during mitotic cell division. It interacts with other kinetochore proteins to facilitate the correct attachment of chromosomes to the spindle apparatus. This interaction ensures that chromosomes are accurately distributed to daughter cells maintaining genomic stability.

Pathways

The ZWINT protein is integral in the mitotic spindle checkpoint pathway also known as the spindle assembly checkpoint. It works closely with proteins such as ZW10 and Rod to monitor and regulate the attachment of spindle microtubules to the kinetochores preventing aneuploidy during cell division. This pathway ensures that mitosis does not proceed until all chromosomes are properly aligned and attached contributing to the fidelity of cell division.

Mutations or dysregulation in ZWINT have been linked to certain cancers due to its influence on chromosome segregation. Disruptions in ZWINT function might also contribute to chromosomal instability which can lead to tumorigenesis. In cancerous contexts proteins such as Mad2 and BubR1 which are part of the spindle assembly checkpoint pathway also show altered interactions highlighting a complex network of regulatory proteins involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Target data

Acts as a component of the outer kinetochore KNL1 complex that serves as a docking point for spindle assembly checkpoint components and mediates microtubule-kinetochore interactions (PubMed : 15094189, PubMed : 15485811, PubMed : 15824131, PubMed : 16732327, PubMed : 24530301, PubMed : 27881301, PubMed : 38459127, PubMed : 38459128). Kinetochores, consisting of a centromere-associated inner segment and a microtubule-contacting outer segment, play a crucial role in chromosome segregation by mediating the physical connection between centromeric DNA and spindle microtubules (PubMed : 15094189, PubMed : 15485811, PubMed : 16732327). The outer kinetochore is made up of the ten-subunit KMN network, comprising the MIS12, NDC80 and KNL1 complexes, and auxiliary microtubule-associated components; together they connect the outer kinetochore with the inner kinetochore, bind microtubules, and mediate interactions with mitotic checkpoint proteins that delay anaphase until chromosomes are bioriented on the spindle (PubMed : 15094189, PubMed : 15485811, PubMed : 15824131, PubMed : 16732327, PubMed : 24530301, PubMed : 38459127, PubMed : 38459128). Targets the RZZ complex to the kinetochore at prometaphase (PubMed : 15485811). Recruits MAD2L1 to the kinetochore, but is not required for BUB1B localization (By similarity). In addition to orienting mitotic chromosomes, it is also essential for alignment of homologous chromosomes during meiotic metaphase I (By similarity). In meiosis I, required to activate the spindle assembly checkpoint at unattached kinetochores to correct erroneous kinetochore-microtubule attachments (PubMed : 15485811).
