Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n BOD1 (Biorientation Defective 1) is a conserved protein whose functions span both mitotic fidelity and neuronal processes. In dividing cells, BOD1 localizes to kinetochores and spindle poles, where it is essential for the proper detection and resolution of aberrant microtubule–kinetochore attachments. Loss of BOD1 disrupts the balance of forces during mitosis, leading to elongated spindles, syntelic attachments, and biorientation defects despite intact microtubule–kinetochore interactions. Mechanistically, BOD1 modulates critical phosphorylation events by regulating the activity of Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the localization and function of key mitotic kinases such as PLK1, thereby ensuring accurate chromosome segregation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In addition to its mitotic role, BOD1 expression persists in postmitotic tissues, including the adult brain, where it localizes to synapses.
