Mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine-protein kinase BUB1 (BUB1)

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that performs two crucial functions during mitosis: it is essential for spindle-assembly checkpoint signaling and for correct chromosome alignment. Has a key role in the gathering of checkpoint proteins at the kinetochore, needing the subsequent localization of CENPF, BUB1B, CENPE and MAD2L1.

Required for the kinetochore localization of PLK1. Required for centromeric enrichment of AUKRB in prometaphase.
