A Model for the Dual Roles of APC/C in Regulating Cyclin B1;1 during Male Gametophyte Development.
APC/C not only degrades CYCB1;1 directly but also directly or indirectly regulates miR159 transcription by recruiting Pol II to promoter regions. The positive regulation of miR159 by APC/C causes the correspondingly negative regulation of a miR159 target, DUO1, which ultimately leads to reduced CYCB1;1 expression. The dual role of APC/C in CYCB1;1 function ensures proper progression of the two mitoses. VN, vegetative nucleus; SC, sperm cells.
