FunctionCDH1_YEAST Activator protein that regulates the ubiquitin ligase activity and substrate specificity of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). During telophase and in the subsequent G1 phase of the cell cycle, recognizes and binds proteins containing a destruction box (D-box) and an additional degradation signal termed the KEN box including ASE1, CDC20, the B-type cyclins CLB2 and CLB3, the polo-like kinase CDC5 and HSL1, and recruits them in a C-box-dependent manner to the APC/C for ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis. Required for exit from mitosis, cytokinesis and formation of prereplicative complexes in G1. Probably is the target of a BUB2-dependent spindle checkpoint pathway.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) regulates sister chromatid segregation and the exit from mitosis. Selection of most APC/C substrates is controlled by coactivator subunits (either Cdc20 or Cdh1) that interact with substrate destruction motifs-predominantly the destruction (D) box and KEN box degrons. How coactivators recognize D box degrons and how this is inhibited by APC/C regulatory proteins is not defined at the atomic level. Here, from the crystal structure of S. cerevisiae Cdh1 in complex with its specific inhibitor Acm1, which incorporates D and KEN box pseudosubstrate motifs, we describe the molecular basis for D box recognition. Additional interactions between Acm1 and Cdh1 identify a third protein-binding site on Cdh1 that is likely to confer coactivator-specific protein functions including substrate association. We provide a structural rationalization for D box and KEN box recognition by coactivators and demonstrate that many noncanonical APC/C degrons bind APC/C coactivators at the D box coreceptor.
