| Research Abstract |
Bub1 is a conserved kinase which has roles in faithful chromosome segregation. Bub1 localizes at kinetochores in M-phase and this kinetochore localization is essential for its function. However the mechanisms underlying the kinetochore localization of Bub1 remained largely unknown. In this study, we showed that another conserved kinase Mps1 phosphorylates the kinetochore protein Spc7. This phosphorylation promotes the interaction between Bub1 and Spc7, resulting in the kinetochore localization of Bub1.
