PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • an N-terminal peptide containing AAs 111-150 to bind MAD2L1
  • seven WD40-repeats
  • another MAD2L1-binding domain from AAs 342-355 within the WD repeat region
  • a unique polyhistidine motif with metal binding property adjacent to this second binding domain that may be important for maintaining the overall conformation of CDC20 for its binding to MAD2L1
  • CDC20/fizzy domain
  • two previously described motifs, the C box and the isoleucine-arginine (IR) tail, which are needed for CDC20 to bind to the APC/C as a coactivator
  • the KILR motif was necessary for CDC20 to bind to the APC/C when the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) was active
  • mono polymer heteromer , complex

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in ubiquitin mediated proteolysis
  • mediating the association of the mitotic spindle checkpoint protein MAD1L1 with the cyclosome/anaphase-promoting complex (ANAPC/C)
  • required for microtubule dependant nuclear movement prior to anaphase and chromosomes sepration
  • is an essential ANPC/C activator
  • is involved in dendrite morphogenesis in postmitotic neurons
  • CDC20-ANPC regulates presynaptic differentiation in primary postmitotic mammalian neurons
  • activator of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase, initiates the destruction of key mitotic regulators to facilitate mitosis, while it is negatively regulated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) to prevent premature anaphase entry
  • its transcriptional regulatory function was observed to be cell cycle-specific
  • orders passage through the meiotic divisions by ensuring a balance of phosphatases
  • co-activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C complex), which recruits substrates at particular phases of the cell cycle and mediates their degradation
  • is involved the degradation of SP100 and this process requires the D-box module
  • MAD2L1 competes directly for CDC20 with the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), which would contribute to the rapid and potent inhibition of CDC20
  • MAD2L1 is one of the key components of the spindle and mitotic checkpoint complex that regulates the fidelity of cell division along with MAD1L1, CDC20, BUB1B

  • forming a complex with BUB1B

  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • activating the anaphase promoting complex (APC/C)
  • SPATC1
  • interacting with HDAC6 that stimulates activity of CDC20-ANPC and drives the differentiation of neurons
  • NEUROD2 might be a target of CDC20-ANPC in the control of presynaptic development
  • interaction between HSF2 and the APC/C subunit CDC27 and coactivator CDC20 is enhanced by moderate heat stress, and the degradation of HSF2 is induced during the acute phase of the heat shock response
  • specifically targets E2F1 for degradation in early mitosis and reveal a novel mechanism for limiting free E2F1 levels in cells, failure of which may compromise cell survival and/or homeostasis
  • transcriptionally up-regulates UBE2C expression through its WD40 domain
  • BUB1B-dependent CDC20 proteasomal degradation in G0 phase is required for ciliogenesis
  • FBXW52 is a substrate of both PLK4 and CDC20, two established regulators of centriole duplication
  • binds to key mitotic substrates, targeting them for ubiquitin modification by the APC/C, ultimately resulting in their degradation
  • stable interaction of CDC20 with MAD2 is required to maintain spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) signaling
  • PHF8 is regulated by CDC20 and plays an important role in the G2/M transition
  • switch from activation of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) by CDC20 to CDH1 during anaphase is crucial for accurate mitosis
  • CHEK1 is required for the metaphase-anaphase transition via regulating the subcellular localization and the expression of CDC20 and MAD2L1
  • FBXO43 inhibits APC/C-CDC20, and functions as a cytostatic factor that causes long-term M phase arrest of mature oocytes
