    Background
    Bub1 (Budding Uninhibited by Benzimidazoles 1), a conserved serine/threonine kinase essential for the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), localizes to unattached kinetochores where it orchestrates mitotic arrest by phosphorylating targets that inhibit the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) until all chromosomes achieve bipolar microtubule attachment. Bub1 features an N-terminal kinetochore-binding domain with a KTBLT motif that recruits Bub3, a central serine/threonine-rich domain for Mad1/Mad2 recruitment, and a C-terminal kinase domain with a conserved DFG motif where autophosphorylation at multiple sites, including the activation loop, coordinates with Plk1 to multiply phosphorylate Cdc20 (S92/S153), creating a phospho-epitope barrier that prevents APC/C-Cdc20 activation. Bub1 kinase activity generates the "wait-anaphase" signal by scaffolding Bub3, Plk1, and Cdc20 at kinetochores, while kinase-independent functions recruit SAC effectors such as Mad1/2 and BubR1 that are essential for checkpoint stringency. Bub1 also directly promotes proper chromosome segregation through centromeric histone H2A phosphorylation at Ser121, stabilizing kinetochore-microtubule attachments independent of SAC signaling. Bub1 ensures genomic stability during cell division, while pathologically, hypomorphic expression causes chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy that drive tumorigenesis in lung and colon cancers, and overexpression predicts chemotherapy or radiation resistance by enhancing SAC-mediated survival.
