A robust cell cycle control mechanism limits E2F-induced proliferation after cell cycle exit. (A) E2F-dependent transcriptional repression (dotted lines) of targets, including many APC/C components, is established at exit. (B) If aberrant E2F activity occurs, transcriptional activation (dotted arrows) of APC/C components and activators limits the accumulation of key cell cycle targets such as Stg. (C) The resulting high APC/C activity in differentiating cells requires increased CycE to bypass exit, thereby raising the CycE threshold.
