Mechanistic narrative

Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

CDC27 (APC3) is a core, structurally essential subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a regulated ubiquitin-protein ligase that catalyzes mitosis-specific polyubiquitination of cyclin B and other cell cycle regulators to drive the metaphase-to-anaphase transition (PMID:7736580). Genetic loss of CDC27 orthologs arrests cells at a metaphase-like stage with elevated cyclins A and B across fission yeast, Drosophila, and trypanosomes, confirming its conserved and essential role in promoting anaphase (PMID:3283148, PMID:12953067, PMID:15994309). CDC27 is built from tandem tetratricopeptide (TPR) repeats that form a superhelix (PMID:2297790), and crystallographic work establishes that this TPR domain mediates an evolutionarily conserved, functionally essential homo-dimerization shared with the related APC/C subunit Cdc16/APC6 (PMID:20206185, PMID:20924356). Within the assembled complex CDC27 serves as a structural hub: its C-terminal IR-tail binding cleft recruits the coactivators CDC20 and CDH1 and is required for APC/C-catalyzed ubiquitination, while APC16 binds asymmetrically to the symmetric CDC27 dimer and bridges APC7 into the complex (PMID:25490258); stable incorporation of CDC27 itself depends on the accessory subunit Swm1/Apc13 (PMID:15060174). CDC27 activity and abundance are governed by multiple post-translational and regulatory inputs: Cdk1 phosphorylation at consensus sites directs its chromosomal localization and is required for full APC/C function (PMID:17519285), dephosphorylated CDC27 specifically associates with kinetochores and chromosome arms during mitosis (PMID:12429948), casein kinase II phosphorylation links TGF-β signaling to APC/C-driven SnoN degradation (PMID:21209074), and O-GlcNAcylation by OGT stabilizes CDC27 by blocking autophagy-lysosomal degradation (PMID:39984622). Through APC/C-CDH1 it directs degradation of cyclin D1, cyclin B1, Skp2 and Plk-1 (PMID:20439707), and its expression and translation are controlled transcriptionally by C/EBPδ (PMID:20439707) and post-transcriptionally by HNRNP E1, whose loss causes premature APC/C activation and aneuploidy (PMID:27102006). Zebrafish cdc27 knockout produces craniofacial and skeletal malformations resembling hemifacial microsomia via reduced neural crest proliferation acting upstream of the p21/p53 pathway (PMID:38731925).

1995 CDC27 (APC3) is a core subunit of the 20S anaphase-promoting complex (APC), which functions as a regulated ubiquitin-protein ligase that catalyzes mitosis-specific ubiquitin conjugation to cyclin B, targeting it for proteasomal destruction.
