CDC20 promotes bone formation via APC/C dependent ubiquitination and degradation of p65.

ABSTRACT: The E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CDC20-activated anaphase-promoting complex/Cyclosome (APC/C^CDC20 ) plays a critical role in governing mitotic progression by targeting key cell cycle regulators for degradation. Cell division cycle protein 20 homolog (CDC20), the co-activator of APC/C, is required for full ubiquitin ligase activity. In addition to its well-known cell cycle-related functions, we demonstrate that CDC20 plays an essential role in osteogenic commitment of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BMSCs). Cdc20 conditional knockout mice exhibit decreased bone formation and impaired bone regeneration after injury. Mechanistically, we discovered a functional interaction between the WD40 domain of CDC20 and the DNA-binding domain of p65. Moreover, CDC20 promotes the ubi
