Abstract excerpt
Human BUB3 is a key mitotic checkpoint factor that recognizes centromeric components and recruits other mitotic checkpoint molecules to the unattached kinetochore. The key amino acid residues responsible for its localization are not yet defined. In this study, we identified a motif from Lys(216) to Lys(222) in BUB3 as its nuclear localization signal. A BUB3 mutant with deletion of this motif (Del216-222) was...
