Mitotic timing in C. elegans.

Spindle Assembly in C. elegans

Spindle Assembly in C. elegans

Mutual antagonism between the Anaphase Promoting Complex and the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint contributes to mitotic timing in C. elegans.

The group of Prof. Pierre Gönczy (ISREC - Gonczy lab) provides evidence that the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) - which triggers the separation of sister chromatids and exit from mitosis across eukaryotic evolution - negatively regulates the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) in early C. elegans embryos.
