چکیده

The major ubiquitin ligase required for mitosis is the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). This unusually complex E3 ubiquitin ligase targets cell-cycle-related proteins such as cyclins and securin for degradation by the proteasome in mitosis and meiosis. The APC/C is regulated by phosphorylation, as well as by various activators and inhibitors that alter its substrate specificity at different phases of the cell cycle. Such tight control ensures appropriately timed degradation of key cell-cycle regulators.

Structure of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome interacting with a mitotic checkpoint complex.

Once all chromosomes are connected to the mitotic spindle (bioriented), anaphase is initiated by the protein ubiquitylation activity of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and its coactivator Cdc20 (APC/C(Cdc20)). Before chromosome biorientation, anaphase is delayed by a mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) that inhibits APC/C(Cdc20). We used single-particle electron microscopy to obta...

Coactivator functions in a stoichiometric complex with anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome to mediate substrate recognition.

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multisubunit E3 ligase required for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of cell-cycle-regulatory proteins, including mitotic cyclins and securin/Pds1. Regulation of APC/C activity and substrate recognition, mediated by the coactivators Cdc20 and Cdh1, is fundamental to cell-cycle control. However, the precise mechanism by which coactivators stim...

The Anaphase-Promoting Complex or Cyclosome Supports Cell Survival in Response to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

The anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi-subunit ubiquitin ligase that regulates exit from mitosis and G1 phase of the cell cycle. Although the regulation and function of APC/C(Cdh1) in the unperturbed cell cycle is well studied, little is known of its role in non-genotoxic stress responses. Here, we demonstrate the role of APC/C(Cdh1) (APC/C activated by Cdh1 protein) in ...

Emi2-mediated Inhibition of E2-substrate Ubiquitin Transfer by the Anaphase-promoting Complex/Cyclosome through a D-Box–independent Mechanism

Vertebrate eggs are arrested at Metaphase II by Emi2, the meiotic anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) inhibitor. Although the importance of Emi2 during oocyte maturation has been widely recognized and its regulation extensively studied, its mechanism of action remained elusive. Many APC/C inhibitors have been reported to act as pseudosubstrates, inhibiting the APC/C by preventing subst...

Tissue-Specific Control of the Endocycle by the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome Inhibitors UVI4 and DEL11[OPEN]

The endocycle represents a modified mitotic cell cycle that in plants is often coupled to cell enlargement and differentiation. Endocycle onset is controlled by activity of the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), a multisubunit E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting cell-cycle factors for destruction. CELL CYCLE SWITCH52 (CCS52) proteins represent rate-limiting activator subunits of the APC/C....
