Plasmodium APC3 mediates chromosome condensation and cytokinesis during atypical mitosis in male gametogenesis

Abstract The anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a highly conserved multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls mitotic division in eukaryotic cells by tagging cell cycle regulators for proteolysis. APC3 is a key component that contributes to APC/C function. Plasmodium, the causative...
