Mitosis: Cdh1 Clears the Way for Anaphase Spindle Assembly
نویسنده
چکیده
The two co-activators of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), Cdc20 and Cdh1, facilitate ubiquitination by the core complex, but their role in conferring substrate specificity has been contentious. A new report reveals that Cdc20-bound APC/C initiates the timely proteolysis of many Cdh1 substrates with the exception of the Aurora kinases. Failure to degrade Aurora kinases results in abnormal anaphase microtubule organisation and premature cytokinesis.

APC/CCdh1 Targets Aurora Kinase to Control Reorganization of the Mitotic Spindle at Anaphase
BACKGROUND Control of mitotic cell cycles by the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase depends on its coactivators Cdc20 and Cdh1. APC/C(Cdc20) is active during mitosis and promotes anaphase onset by targeting mitotic cyclins and securin. APC/C(Cdh1) becomes active during mitotic exit and has essential targets in G1 phase. It is not known whether targeting of substrat...
متن کاملRequirements and Reasons for Effective Inhibition of the Anaphase Promoting Complex Activator Cdh1
Anaphase promoting complex (APC)-Cdh1 targets multiple mitotic proteins for degradation upon exit from mitosis into G1; inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdh1 by cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and Polo kinase has been proposed to prevent the premature degradation of substrates in the ensuing cell cycle. Here, we demonstrate essentiality of CDK phosphorylation of Cdh1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by e...
متن کاملIdentification of Anaphase Promoting Complex Substrates in S. cerevisiae
The Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) is an essential ubiquitin ligase that targets numerous proteins for proteasome-mediated degradation in mitosis and G1. To gain further insight into cellular pathways controlled by APC/C(Cdh1), we developed two complementary approaches to identify additional APC/C(Cdh1) substrates in budding yeast. First, we analyzed the stabilities of proteins th...
متن کاملAnaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome–Dependent Proteolysis of Human Cyclin a Starts at the Beginning of Mitosis and Is Not Subject to the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint
Cyclin A is a stable protein in S and G2 phases, but is destabilized when cells enter mitosis and is almost completely degraded before the metaphase to anaphase transition. Microinjection of antibodies against subunits of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) or against human Cdc20 (fizzy) arrested cells at metaphase and stabilized both cyclins A and B1. Cyclin A was efficiently poly...
متن کاملAPC/CCDC20 and APC/C play pivotal roles in the process of embryonic development in Artemia sinica
Anaphase Promoting Complex or Cyclosome (APC/C) is a representative E3 ubiquitin ligase, triggering the transition of metaphase to anaphase by regulating degradation and ensures the exit from mitosis. Cell division cycle 20 (CDC20) and Cell division cycle 20 related protein 1 (CDH1), as co-activators of APC/C, play significant roles in the spindle assembly checkpoint, guiding ubiquitin-mediated...
