Its regulation by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is coordinated with the attachment of sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle. APC/C SUMOylation on APC4 ensures timely anaphase onset and chromosome segregation. To understand the structural and functional consequences of APC/C SUMOylation, we reconstituted SUMOylated APC/C for electron cryo-microscopy and biochemical analyses. SUMOylation of the APC/C causes a substantial rearrangement of the WHB domain of APC/C's cullin subunit (APC2). Although APC/C SUMOylation results in a modest impact on normal APC/C activity, repositioning APC2 reduces the affinity of APC/C for the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), the effector of the SAC. This attenuates MCC-mediated suppression of APC/C activity, allowing for more efficient ubiquitination of APC/C substrates in the presence of the MCC. Thus, SUMOylation stimulates the reactivation of APC/C when the SAC is silenced, contributing to timely anaphase onset. |
