Anti-Bub3 Antibody Picoband®

BUB3 (BUDDING UNINHIBITED BY BENZIMIDAZOLES 3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BUB3 gene. And it is mapped on 10q26.13. Bub3 is also a protein involved with the regulation of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) ; though BUB3 is non-essential in yeast, it is essential in higher eukaryotes. As one of the checkpoint proteins, Bub3 delays the irreversible onset of anaphase through ion of kinetochore localization during prometaphase to achieve biorentation. Bub3 s the localization of Bub1 at the kinetochore in order to activate the SAC. Bub3 also acts as a regulator in that it affects binding of Mad3 to Mad2. Using deletion analysis, the authors identified a domain of BUB1 that is required both for binding BUB3 and for kinetochore localization of BUB1.

Has a dual function in spindle-assembly checkpoint signaling and in promoting the establishment of correct kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments. Promotes the formation of stable end-on bipolar attachments. Necessary for kinetochore localization of BUB1. Regulates chromosome segregation during oocyte meiosis. The BUB1/BUB3 complex plays a role in the inhibition of anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) when spindle-assembly checkpoint is activated and inhibits the ubiquitin ligase activity of APC/C by phosphorylating its activator CDC20. This complex can also phosphorylate MAD1L1. .
