title: Cdc14B and APC/C tackle DNA damage.
abstract: Mitotic exit in budding yeast is regulated by the proteins Cdc14, APC/C(Cdh1), and Plk1. In this issue, Bassermann and colleagues (2008) show that this network of proteins has been rewired in human cells to control the cell cycle in response to DNA damage.
