BUB1B (Mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine-protein kinase BUB1 beta) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Colorectal cancer, Skin cancer, Breast cancer and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Kinase which is a component of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which inhibits APC/C and delays chromosome segregation until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. The MCC, which consists of CDC20, MAD2L1/MAD2, BUB1B/BUBR1 and BUB3, is a key player of the spindle assembly checkpoint. The MCC-bound APC/C complex is inactive and this delays the metaphase/anaphase transition. When the spindle assembly checkpoint is silenced, the MCC-APC/C complex recruits the E2 enzyme UBCH10 and triggers the auto-ubiquitination of CDC20 in the MCC, thereby reactivating APC/C for transition into anaphase. MCC also monitors kinetochore activities that depend on the kinetochore motor CENPE. Required for kinetochore localisation of CENPE. Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome (UniProt). Locus 15q15.1 (HGNC).
