Don't skip the G1 phase: how APC/CCdh1 keeps SCFSKP2 in check

By keeping the levels of Skp2 and Cks1 low during G(1) progression, APC/C(Cdh1) prevents unscheduled degradation of SCF(Skp2) substrates and premature entry into S phase. Thus, APC/C(Cdh1), a ubiquitin ligase involved in mitotic exit and maintenance of G(0)/G(1) phase, directly controls SCF(Skp2), a ubiquitin ligase involved in the regulation of S phase entry.
