Study shows that fission yeast Moa1 (meikin), which associates stably with CENP-C during meiosis I, recruits Plo1 (polo-like kinase) to the kinetochores and phosphorylates Spc7 (KNL1) to accumulate Bub1. Consequently, in contrast to the transient kinetochore localization of mitotic Bub1, meiotic Bub1 persists at kinetochores until anaphase I.

The data presented in this study suggest there are at least two, genetically separable, states of the septation initiation network; an early state that is dependent upon Plo1p for its establishment, and a late state, which is dependent upon Spg1p.

Substitution of a conserved methionine residue to phenylalanine in Plo1, Orb5 and Wee1 kinases increased the sensitivities to ATP analogues.
Title: Mutation of a conserved residue enhances the sensitivity of analogue-sensitised kinases to generate a novel approach to the study of mitosis in fission yeast.

PP1 recruitment to Cut12 sets a threshold for Polo's feedback-loop activity that locks the cell in interphase until Cdc25 pushes MPF activity through this barrier to initiate mitosis.
Title: Removal of centrosomal PP1 by NIMA kinase unlocks the MPF feedback loop to promote mitotic commitment in S. pombe.

Plo1 and a centrin play central roles in the meiotic spindle pole body remodeling
