The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is a ubiquitin ligase responsible for promoting the degradation of many cell cycle regulators. One of the activators and substrate-binding proteins for the APC is Cdc20. It has been shown previously that Cdc20 can promote its own degradation by the APC in normal cycling cells mainly through a cis-degradation mode (i.e. via an intramolecular mechanism). However, how Cdc20 is degraded during the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is still not fully clear. In this study, we used a dual-Cdc20 system to investigate this issue and found that the cis-degradation mode is also the major pathway responsible for Cdc20 degradation during the SAC. In addition, we found that there is an inverse relationship between APCCdc20 activity and the transcriptional activity of the CDC20 promoter, which likely occurs through feedback regulation by APCCdc20 substrates, such as the cyclins Clb2 and Clb5. These findings contribute to our understanding of how the inhibition of APCCdc20 activity and enhanced Cdc20 degradation are required for proper spindle checkpoint arrest.
