Bub1 is a conserved mitotic kinase involved in signaling of the spindle assembly checkpoint. Multiple phosphorylation sites on Bub1 have been characterized, yet it is challenging to understand the interplay between the multiple phosphorylation sites due to the limited availability of phosphospecific antibodies. In addition, phosphoregulation of Bub1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is poorly understood. Here we report the identification of a new Mph1/Mps1-mediated phosphorylation site, i.e., Ser532, of Bub1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. A phosphospecific antibody against phosphorylated Bub1-Ser532 was developed. Using the phosphospecific antibody, we demonstrated that phosphorylation of Bub1-Ser352 was mediated specifically by Mph1/Mps1 and took place during early mitosis. Moreover, live-cell microscopy showed that inhibition of the phosphorylation of Bub1 at Ser532 impaired the localization of Bub1, Mad1, and Mad2 to the kinetochore. In addition, inhibition of the phosphorylation of Bub1 at Ser532 caused anaphase B lagging chromosomes. Hence, our study constitutes a model in which Mph1/Mps1-mediated phosphorylation of fission yeast Bub1 promotes proper kinetochore localization of Bub1 and faithful chromosome segregation.

Most cancer cells show increased chromosome missegregation, known as chromosomal instability (CIN), which promotes cancer progression and drug resistance. The underlying causes of CIN in cancer cells are not fully understood. Here we found that breast cancer cell lines show a reduced kinetochore localization of ROD, ZW10, and Zwilch, components of the fibrous corona, compared with non-transformed breast epithelial cell lines.

Near the C-terminus of histone H2A in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there are 2 serines (S122 and S129) that are targets of phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of serine 129 in response to DNA damage is dependent on the Tel1 and Mec1 kinases. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe and S.

Article Synopsis
- - Plk1 is a crucial kinase that ensures proper cell division by interacting with various proteins, but the binding mechanisms are more complex than previously thought, requiring more research to understand them.
- - During mitosis, Plk1 interacts with the checkpoint protein BubR1 by phosphorylating specific sites, which enhances its interaction with PP2A/B56, essential for stabilizing kinetochore-microtubule attachments.
- - The study shows that phosphorylation of BubR1 at T600/T608 by Plk1 is vital for its function; however, modifying BubR1 to increase its affinity for Plk1 and PP2A/B56 can compensate for the need for phosphorylation, highlighting new regulatory mechanisms for mit
