    Enuo He
    Oxford Centre for Integrative Systems Biology, Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3QU, United Kingdom
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:10016-21. 2011
    ..These and other puzzles associated with the mitotic checkpoint are addressed by a proposed molecular mechanism, which involves two positive feedback loops that create a bistable response of the checkpoint to chromosomal tension...
  6. ncbi Meiotic prophase requires proteolysis of M phase regulators mediated by the meiosis-specific APC/CAma1
    Elwy Okaz
    Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Pfotenhauerstrasse 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany
