Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal instability is a potentially critical step in the development of colorectal cancer. The budding uninhibited by benzimidazole 1 (BUB1) gene is a highly conserved protein that plays a critical role at the spindle assembly checkpoint during cell division. BUB1 mutations function in a dominant-negative fashion and have been implicated in causing dysfunctional kinetochore attachments, premature chromatid...
