Bub1 positions Mad1 close to KNL1 MELT repeats to promote checkpoint signalling

Abstract

The spindle assembly checkpoint ensures correct chromosome segregation and relies on kinetochore localization of the Bub1 and Mad1/Mad2 checkpoint proteins. Here the authors show that main function of Bub1 is to position Mad1 close to KNL1 MELT repeats in human cells.
