The anaphase-promoting complex (also known as the cyclosome) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that has a crucial function in the regulation of mitosis, particularly during anaphase and mitotic exit. Its activity is tightly controlled by several factors to ensure the timely degradation of key mitotic regulators and thus the proper progression of mitotic events.
