The multi-task protein kinase Bub1 has long been considered important for chromosome alignment and spindle assembly checkpoint signaling during mitosis. However, recent studies provide surprising evidence that Bub1 may not be essential in human cells, with the underlying mechanism unknown. Here we show that Bub1 plays a redundant role with the non-essential CENP-U complex in recruiting Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) to the kinetochore. While disrupting either pathway of Plk1 recruitment does not affect the accuracy of whole chromosome segregation, loss of both pathways leads to a strong reduction in the kinetochore accumulation of Plk1 under a threshold level required for proper chromosome alignment and segregation. Thus, parallel recruitment of Plk1 to kinetochores by Bub1 and the CENP-U complex ensures high fidelity of mitotic chromosome segregation. This study may have implications for targeted treatment of cancer cells harboring mutations in either Bub1 or the CENP-U complex.
