title: The APC/C: a smörgåsbord for proteolysis.
abstract: In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Matyskiela and Morgan (2009) identify the sites on the APC/C that are required for activation and substrate binding, providing insights into how the APC/C works, with implications for the spindle assembly checkpoint that regulates it.
