Gene Description

BUB1B encodes BubR1, the MAD3-related subunit of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC; MAD2-BUBR1-BUB3-CDC20), the diffusible inhibitor generated by the spindle assembly checkpoint. During prometaphase BubR1 is recruited to unattached outer kinetochores through its GLEBS motif-bound partner BUB3, a direct BUB1 interaction and TPR-domain contacts with KNL1; MPS1-phosphorylated KNL1 and the MAD1-C-MAD2 template then drive incorporation of BubR1-BUB3 and MAD2-CDC20 into the MCC. Within the MCC, BubR1 KEN-box, ABBA-motif and D-box degron-like sequences occupy the substrate-recognition sites of CDC20, and its N-terminal TPR domain obstructs binding of the initiating E2 UbcH10, so that APC/C-CDC20 cannot ubiquitinate securin and cyclin B and anaphase is delayed until every kinetochore is attached. The MCC can also inhibit a second, APC/C-bound CDC20, and checkpoint silencing proceeds through p31comet/TRIP13-driven MCC disassembly and CDC20(MCC) autoubiquitination. A second, kinetochore-local function is mediated by the central kinetochore attachment regulatory domain (KARD): CDK1/PLK1 phosphorylation of the KARD LxxIxE motif recruits PP2A-B56, which counteracts Aurora B and MPS1 phosphorylation to stabilise correct kinetochore-microtubule attachments, support chromosome congression and promote checkpoint silencing. The C-terminal kinase-like domain of human BubR1 has degenerate catalytic motifs and is generally regarded as a pseudokinase that acts allosterically to support KARD function; a report that it phosphorylates CENP-E Ser2639 to switch the motor from lateral to end-on microtubule tracking remains contested. BubR1 is cytoplasmic in interphase, accumulates at kinetochores from prophase, and also decorates the spindle midzone in late anaphase. Its abundance is controlled by acetylation (PCAF, CBP, SIRT2) and APC/C-dependent degradation, and it declines with age in mouse tissues. Biallelic loss-of-function variants cause mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome 1, with premature chromatid separation, growth restriction, microcephaly and childhood cancer predisposition.

Summary: PAINT node PTN000361607 (the Bub1/BubR1-Mad3 ancestor) places kinetochore localization at the base of the family; human BUBR1 is a canonical outer-kinetochore protein recruited to unattached kinetochores via BUB3 (GLEBS motif), BUB1 and KNL1.
Reason: Kinetochore localization is the site of BUBR1's checkpoint and attachment-regulating functions and is directly demonstrated for the human protein (PMID:9660858, PMID:9763420, PMID:22331848). The phylogenetic placement is sound: every extant member used to seed the node (yeast Bub1/Mad3, worm, fly, plant and mammalian Bub1/BubR1) localizes to kinetochores. BUB1B appearing in its own WITH/FROM reflects its experimental annotation being one of the descendant evidences.

ACCEPT
Summary: Weaver et al. show that BubR1 is recruited to unattached kinetochores and that CENP-E enhances this recruitment; BubR1 kinetochore signal is diminished in CENP-E-null cells.
Reason: Direct immunofluorescence of BubR1 at kinetochores, with a quantitative dependence on its binding partner CENP-E, supports the localization (colocalizes_with qualifier reflects co-staining with kinetochore markers).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:12925705
Without CENP-E, diminished levels of BubR1 are recruited to kinetochores and BubR1 kinase activity remains at basal levels.

Reason: Founding demonstration of BubR1 kinetochore localization and its Bub3 dependence.

Summary: PAINT node PTN000361607 asserts protein kinase activity for the Bub1/BubR1 ancestor, seeded by genuine kinases (yeast Bub1, human BUB1, worm bub-1) and by the disputed BUB1B/hBubR1 activity. Human BUBR1 retains a C-terminal kinase-like fold but has degenerate glycine-rich and catalytic-loop motifs, and its catalytic competence is disputed: early in vitro autophosphorylation and CENP-E-stimulated activity in immunoprecipitates could not exclude co-purifying kinases, kinase activity is dispensable for APC/C-CDC20 inhibition, and phylogenomic/structural/biochemical work classifies the domain as a pseudokinase whose role is allosteric (promoting KARD phosphorylation and PP2A-B56 recruitment). One 2019 study reports bona fide phosphotransfer by purified human BubR1 onto CENP-E Ser2639, so the activity cannot be called refuted, but it is not the established core function of the protein.
Reason: The node placement is reasonable for the ancestral Bub1-like protein, but BUB1B is a paralog whose kinase domain has diverged: it lacks conserved catalytic-loop residues (PMID:9660858), kinase activity is not required for its APC/C-inhibitory function (PMID:11702782), and the field's consensus (see deep research) is that human BubR1 is a pseudokinase, with a single contrary report of phosphotransfer (PMID:31201382). Not refuted, so not REMOVE; but it should not be read as a core function. The propagation issue is target-specific functional divergence (pseudokinase), not a bad source.

Summary: Huang et al. report crystal structures of the Drosophila BubR1 kinase domain in an active conformation and enzymatic assays showing purified human BubR1 has catalytic activity (reduced by K795A/D911A/D882N) that phosphorylates CENP-E Ser2639, switching CENP-E from lateral to end-on microtubule tracking.
Reason: This is a direct experimental claim and must not be dismissed, but it contradicts a substantial body of phylogenomic, structural and biochemical evidence that human BubR1 is a pseudokinase, and the authors themselves note the active-kinase salt-bridge signature is not conserved in human BubR1. Treated as a disputed, non-core activity pending independent reconciliation; the reference is flagged DISPUTED in reference_review.

Indeed, human BubR1 WT was found to have catalytic activity and our enzymatic assays confirmed that Lys795 and Asp911 are critical for that activity (Fig. 1e ).
PMID:31201382
Thus, Ser2639 of CENP-E is a substrate for BubR1 in vitro.

However, this type of signature of an active kinase is not apparently conserved in human BubR1.

Summary: Chan et al. 1998 inferred kinase function for hBUBR1 from its C-terminal kinase domain and sequence relationship to BUB1; no activity was measured.
Reason: Author-statement based on domain presence only. Human BUBR1 retains a C-terminal kinase-like fold but has degenerate glycine-rich and catalytic-loop motifs, and its catalytic competence is disputed: early in vitro autophosphorylation and CENP-E-stimulated activity in immunoprecipitates could not exclude co-purifying kinases, kinase activity is dispensable for APC/C-CDC20 inhibition, and phylogenomic/structural/biochemical work classifies the domain as a pseudokinase whose role is allosteric (promoting KARD phosphorylation and PP2A-B56 recruitment).

Summary: Chan et al. 1999 detected kinase activity in hBUBR1 immunoprecipitates that rose after mitotic entry and within 15 min of nocodazole treatment; substrates were hBUBR1 itself (autophosphorylation), MBP and a CENP-E fragment.
Reason: Activity was measured in immunoprecipitates from cells, which cannot exclude associated kinases (e.g. PLK1, which phosphorylates BubR1 in mitosis); later work found kinase activity dispensable for APC/C inhibition (PMID:11702782) and classifies the domain as a pseudokinase.

Summary: Wu et al. 2000 showed by yeast two-hybrid, GST pull-down, baculovirus co-expression and co-IP from HeLa cells that p55CDC/CDC20 associates with BUBR1, that the association increases on checkpoint activation, and that BUBR1 pulls down APC subunits CDC16/CDC27 from mitotic cells.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. This reference characterises the BUBR1-CDC20 interaction as the means by which BUBR1 (within the MCC) inhibits the APC/C-CDC20 ubiquitin ligase: BUBR1 KEN-box/ABBA degron-like motifs occupy the substrate-recognition sites of CDC20. The informative molecular function is ubiquitin ligase inhibitor activity (GO:1990948). The abstract also reports in vitro phosphorylation of CDC20 by BUBR1 immunoprecipitates; that kinase claim shares the caveats discussed under the kinase rows and is not used as the replacement term.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11030144
Moreover, immunoprecipitation followed by Western blot analyses confirmed that native p55CDC is associated with BUBR1 in HeLa cells.

Together, our studies strongly suggest that BUBR1 may target APC via p55CDC.

Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The BubR1-Cdc20 interaction is the established basis of BubR1's APC/C-CDC20 inhibitory activity (PMID:11702782, PMID:27509861); the abstract focuses on Bub1 but the full text (which the curator read) is not available in the cache, so no claim of mis-attribution is made.

Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The KNL1 (Blinkin) KI2 motif docks the BUBR1 TPR domain; this is a kinetochore-recruitment interaction that supports the kinetochore/outer kinetochore localization rows and the SAC process rows rather than an activity of BUBR1 in its own right. Removal does not dispute the interaction.

Summary: Choi et al. 2009 show BubR1 acetylation at K250 controls whether BubR1 acts as an APC/C-Cdc20 inhibitor (pseudosubstrate competing for Cdc20 D-box/KEN-box sites) or becomes an APC/C-Cdc20 substrate.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. This reference characterises the BUBR1-CDC20 interaction as the means by which BUBR1 (within the MCC) inhibits the APC/C-CDC20 ubiquitin ligase: BUBR1 KEN-box/ABBA degron-like motifs occupy the substrate-recognition sites of CDC20.

Reason: BUBR1 is the substrate of the acetyltransferase PCAF/KAT2B here; being modified by an enzyme is not a molecular function of BUBR1, so the bare protein-binding row is uninformative. The interaction itself is not disputed.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19407811
We have found that BubR1 forms a complex with PCAF and is acetylated at lysine 250.

Summary: Miniowitz-Shemtov et al. 2010 examine release of APC/C from MCC (BubR1-Bub3-Mad2-Cdc20) inhibition, showing ATP hydrolysis is required for dissociation of MCC from APC/C and for MCC disassembly.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. This reference characterises the BUBR1-CDC20 interaction as the means by which BUBR1 (within the MCC) inhibits the APC/C-CDC20 ubiquitin ligase: BUBR1 KEN-box/ABBA degron-like motifs occupy the substrate-recognition sites of CDC20. The informative molecular function is ubiquitin ligase inhibitor activity (GO:1990948).

Summary: D'Arcy et al. 2010 map the Blinkin-binding groove on the concave face of the BubR1 TPR domain.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The KNL1 (Blinkin) KI2 motif docks the BUBR1 TPR domain; this is a kinetochore-recruitment interaction that supports the kinetochore/outer kinetochore localization rows and the SAC process rows rather than an activity of BUBR1 in its own right. Removal does not dispute the interaction.

Summary: Taylor et al. 1998: hBubR1 binds hBub3 through the conserved Bub1/Mad3 homology (GLEBS) segment, and this binding is required for kinetochore localization.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. BUB3 and BUBR1 are subunits of the same stoichiometric mitotic checkpoint complex (MAD2-BUB1B-BUB3-CDC20), and this reference addresses the interaction in that context; the informative resolution is the complex term GO:0033597 (already annotated by IPI from PMID:27509861).
Proposed replacements: mitotic checkpoint complex
Supporting Evidence:

In addition, hBubR1 can localize to kinetochores during prometaphase and the ability to bind Bub3 is required for this localization.

Summary: Chan et al. 1998 isolated hBUBR1 in a yeast two-hybrid screen with the CENP-E kinetochore-binding domain and showed CENP-E and hBUBR1 co-immunoprecipitate from HeLa cells.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The CENP-E interaction is important biology (CENP-E stimulates BubR1 kinase activity in immunoprecipitates and is a proposed BubR1 substrate), but no settled molecular function of BUBR1 can be assigned from it given the disputed kinase activity; the interaction itself is not in doubt.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9763420
This observation, coupled with the fact that CENP-E and hBUBR1 kinase can form a stable complex in vivo, raises the possibility that this complex might participate in the checkpoint pathway.
PMID:10477750
Although this interaction was initially identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen for proteins that associate with CENP-E, a stable complex of hBUBR1 and CENP-E was detected in Hela cells.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PAINT node PTN000361608 asserts nuclear localization, seeded largely by yeast Bub1/Mad3 (closed mitosis, so kinetochore proteins are nuclear) plus worm and human members. Human BUBR1 is predominantly cytoplasmic in interphase and acts on kinetochores of condensed chromosomes after nuclear envelope breakdown; UniProt lists a nuclear pool by inference and the protein carries an NLS motif.
Reason: Phylogenetically defensible (yeast orthologues are nuclear) and not wrong for human (a nuclear/nucleoplasmic pool and premitotic MCC assembly are plausible), but interphase immunofluorescence shows the bulk of human BUBR1 in the cytoplasm, and its functional sites are kinetochores and the mitotic cytosol.

Summary: Chan et al. 1999 found hBUBR1 associated with the cyclosome/APC in mitotically arrested cells. BUBR1 is not a subunit of the APC/C; it binds APC/C-CDC20 as part of the mitotic checkpoint complex, forming the inhibited APC/C-MCC assembly.
Reason: Membership of the E3 ligase itself misrepresents the biology: BUBR1 is an inhibitor bound to the APC/C-CDC20 via the MCC. The complex term that BUBR1 is genuinely part of is GO:0033597 mitotic checkpoint complex (cryo-EM of APC/C-MCC, PMID:27509861).
Proposed replacements: mitotic checkpoint complex
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10477750
As hBUBR1 appears to form a fairly stable complex with the cyclosome/APC in cells arrested in mitosis, its kinase activity may be labile.
PMID:27509861

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PAINT node PTN000361607 places mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint signaling at the Bub1/BubR1-Mad3 ancestor, seeded by yeast Bub1 and Mad3, worm, fly, plant and mammalian Bub1/BubR1. Human BUBR1 is the Mad3-like MCC subunit whose KEN/ABBA motifs inhibit APC/C-CDC20.
Reason: Core function, directly demonstrated for the human protein (antibody microinjection abrogates mitotic arrest, PMID:10477750; MCC purification, PMID:11535616; APC/C-MCC structure, PMID:27509861) and conserved across the family.

Summary: D'Arcy et al. 2010 characterise BubR1 as essential for the mitotic checkpoint and dissect the N-terminal determinants of kinetochore recruitment and APC/C-CDC20 inhibition.
Reason: Consistent with the core function; mutational data in this study inform how BubR1 executes SAC signalling.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20220147
BubR1 kinetochore enrichment is dependent on Bub1 and Bub3 (28, 29) and is required to sustain a SAC arrest, as well as for stable kinetochore-microtubule interactions (23).

Reason: Foundational biochemical definition of the MCC; BUBR1 co-purifies with APC/C inhibitory activity at every step.

Summary: ARBA machine-learning assignment of the broad term 'regulation of sister chromatid segregation'.
Reason: Broad but correct: SAC signalling delays sister chromatid separation until biorientation, and BUBR1 additionally stabilises kinetochore-microtubule attachments via PP2A-B56. The more specific descendant GO:0007094 is already annotated; an IEA broader than the literature is acceptable.

Summary: Alfieri et al. 2016 determined the near-atomic cryo-EM structure of human APC/C-MCC: BubR1 degron-like motifs (KEN1/KEN2, ABBA, D-box) occupy the substrate-recognition sites of both the MCC-intrinsic and APC/C-bound CDC20, and the BubR1 TPR blocks UbcH10 binding.
Reason: Definitive structural evidence for BUBR1 as a stoichiometric MCC subunit and for its inhibitory mechanism.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:27509861
Soluble C-Mad2 engages the N-terminus of Cdc20 (refs 10,11), the mitotic activating subunit of the APC/C, which then binds the BubR1-Bub3 dimer to form the MCC 12.

Summary: Lefebvre et al. 2010 (B-cell interactome) confirmed a BUBR1-MCM3 co-IP and confocal imaging showing the proteins co-localized in the nucleus or perinuclearly in germinal-centre B cells.
Reason: A single imaging observation in a systems-biology context; consistent with the cytoplasmic interphase pool but not a functionally characterised localization of BUBR1.

GO:0051754 meiotic sister chromatid cohesion, centromeric
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PAINT node PTN000361607 asserts a role in meiotic centromeric cohesion, seeded by Drosophila BubR1 and fission yeast Bub1 (both required to protect centromeric cohesin/Shugoshin in meiosis). Human BUBR1 recruits PP2A-B56 through its KARD, and BubR1-PP2A-B56 is part of the cohesin-protection machinery, but there is no direct human meiotic evidence in GOA.
Reason: The phylogenetic placement is a considered judgment on a conserved Bub1/BubR1-shugoshin-PP2A module and is not contradicted for human BUBR1 (mouse oocyte studies support a BubR1 requirement in meiotic chromosome segregation), so the IBA is retained; it is graded non-core because the direct human evidence concerns mitosis and the shugoshin-recruiting kinase function of this module resides in the paralog BUB1.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Rhea reaction 17989 (protein serine phosphorylation) mapped from UniProt's catalytic-activity line; the only serine substrate reported for human BubR1 is CENP-E Ser2639 (PMID:31201382).
Reason: Same disputed activity as the EC-based row, expressed as a Rhea reaction; graded consistently as non-core/over-annotated rather than removed, because one direct report exists.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:31201382
Thus, Ser2639 of CENP-E is a substrate for BubR1 in vitro.
PMID:31201382
However, this type of signature of an active kinase is not apparently conserved in human BubR1.

Core Functions

As the MAD3-like subunit of the mitotic checkpoint complex, BubR1 binds CDC20 through its KEN-box/ABBA/D-box degron-like motifs and TPR domain, blocking substrate recognition and UbcH10 engagement by APC/C-CDC20 so that securin and cyclin B are not ubiquitinated until all kinetochores are attached.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:27509861
    Mad2 and BubR1 interact cooperatively with Cdc20 (refs 9,13–18), and synergistically inhibit the APC/C in mitosis 14,19.
  • PMID:27509861
    BubR1TPR interacts directly with the UbcH10 interface of Apc2WHB that repositions to contact BubR1TPR (Fig.
  • PMID:11535616
    Purified GST–hBUBR1:MCC was found to inhibit ubiquitin ligase activity of the APC/C (Fig.
  • PMID:25383541
    Here, we show that the MCC can inhibit a second CDC20 that has already bound and activated the APC/C.
  • PMID:11702782
    In the absence of Mad2, BubR1 inhibits the activity of APC by blocking the binding of Cdc20 to APC.

At unattached and maturing outer kinetochores, BubR1 (recruited via BUB3, BUB1 and KNL1) uses its CDK1/PLK1-phosphorylated KARD LxxIxE motif to recruit PP2A-B56, which opposes Aurora B/MPS1 phosphorylation of kinetochore substrates, stabilises correct kinetochore-microtubule attachments, supports chromosome congression and enables checkpoint silencing.

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:human/BUB1B/BUB1B-deep-research-falcon.md
    BUBR1 therefore acts as a targeting platform that positions PP2A-B56 where kinetochore phosphosignalling must be reversed.
  • file:human/BUB1B/BUB1B-deep-research-falcon.md
    The BUBR1–PP2A-B56 complex opposes Aurora B-driven destabilization of kinetochore–microtubule attachments.
  • file:human/BUB1B/BUB1B-deep-research-falcon.md
    Mutation of BUBR1 residues required for B56 binding disrupts chromosome congression; Aurora B inhibition can partially reverse this phenotype, supporting the proposed kinase–phosphatase balance.
  • PMID:20220147
    BubR1 kinetochore enrichment is dependent on Bub1 and Bub3 (28, 29) and is required to sustain a SAC arrest, as well as for stable kinetochore-microtubule interactions (23).

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is human BubR1 catalytically active in cells? Independent reproduction of CENP-E Ser2639 phosphorylation by purified, kinase-contaminant-free human BubR1 (or a clean D882N/K795A knock-in) would settle whether the EC 2.7.11.1 and Rhea-derived kinase annotations should be retained or retired.

Q: Should the PP2A-B56 recruitment function be captured in GO for BUB1B (e.g. a PP2A-B56 binding/kinetochore adaptor activity with an attachment-stabilisation process), given that GOA currently carries no annotation for the KARD-dependent role?

Q: Does the IBA-derived meiotic centromeric cohesion term reflect a genuine human BUB1B (rather than BUB1) role, given that shugoshin recruitment by H2A-T120 phosphorylation is a BUB1 kinase function?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: In vitro phosphotransfer assay with recombinant human BubR1 purified from a kinase-free system (e.g. E. coli) and CENP-E tail as substrate, side by side with the D882N and K795A mutants and with a PLK1-depleted control, to test the disputed intrinsic kinase activity.

Type: biochemical

Experiment: Separation-of-function analysis in human cells combining KEN1/KEN2/ABBA mutants (MCC/APC/C inhibition) with KARD LxxIxE mutants (PP2A-B56 recruitment) to quantify the independent contributions of the two functions to mitotic timing, chromosome alignment and aneuploidy, including MVA patient alleles.
