The APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex; also known as the cyclosome) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitylation of key substrates for their degradation by the proteasome at precise ...

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle. The cell cycle contains 4 stages; Gap 1 (G1) phase, synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G2 ...
