Cell cycle I - Spindle checkpoint

3 important questions on Cell cycle I - Spindle checkpoint

By which two  substrate specificity modulators regulate the activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase APC?

1. Cdc20: APC adaptor for the anaphase inhibitor Pds1
2. Cdh1: APC adaptor that is part of mitotic exit network

How is the metaphase/anaphase transition controlled?

The spindle checkpoint: cohesin rings keep sister chromatids together, the rings must be dismantled to segregate the sisters,

How can the metaphase/anaphase transition be delayed at the checkpoint?

As long as there is even only one unattached centromere the metaphase/anaphase transition is delayed

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
