Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is one of the key mechanisms underlying cell cycle control in all eukaryotes. This is achieved by the action of ubiquitin ligases (E3s), which remove both negative and positive regulators of the cell cycle. Though our current understanding of the plant cell cycle has improved a lot these recent years, the identity of the E3s regulating it and their mode of action is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, recent research in Arabidopsis revealed some novel findings in this area. Thus the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) not only controls mitotic events, but is also important in post-mitotic cells for normal plant development and cell differentiation. Moreover conserved and novel E3s were identified that target cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors at different plant developmental stages. Finally, environmental constrains and stress hormones negatively impact on the cell cycle by processes that also include E3s.
