The Mitotic Checkpoint Complex (MCC) , which contains Bub1, Bub1b, Bub3, Mad2 and Cdc20, controls chromosome segregation and monitors kinetochoremicrotubule interactions (1). This complex inhibits the ubiquitin ligase activity of the Anaphase Promoting Complex/ Cyclosome (APC/C) during mitosis to prevent cells with unaligned chromosomes from prematurely entering
anaphase (2). Bub1b and Bub1 kinases are mutated in several types of human malignancies including hematopoietic, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers (3). Biallelic mutations in Bub1b have been found in mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome and premature chromatid separation syndrome (4). Bub1b mouse germline knockouts are embryonic lethal with heterozygous animals displaying genetic instability, early aging phenotypes and increased cancer susceptibility (5). Bub3 binds both Bub1 and Bub1b, facilitating their recruitment to kinetochores (6) and is required for functional microtubule-kinetochore interactions (7).
