hBUBR1 expression, phosphorylation, and kinase activity during the cell cycle. (A) K562 and Hela cells were separated according to their position in the cell cycle by centrifugal elutriation. hBUBR1 was immunoprecipitated from equal amounts of protein from each fraction, and then tested for autokinase activity (top) or probed with hBUBR1 antibodies to compare its cell cycle expression profile (middle and bottom). (B) Comparison of autokinase activity (top) and levels of hBUBR1 (middle) and hBUB3 found in hBUBR1 immunoprecipitates from asynchronous interphase cells (A) or cells blocked in mitosis by nocodazole (N). (C) hBUBR1 is hyperphosphorylated in mitosis. hBUBR1 immunoprecipitated from mitotically blocked Hela cells were incubated in the presence (lane 1) or absence (lane 2) of lambda protein phosphatase (λPP). (lanes 3–8) Comparison of hyperphosphorylation status of hBUBR1 in normal mitotic Hela cells (lane 3, M), nocodazole-blocked mitotic cells (lane 4, N), or cells released from the nocodazole block for 1, 2, 3, and 4 h (lanes 5–8, respectively). Cells were determined to have reentered G1 by phase-contrast microscopy.
