*Departments of Pharmacology and In mitosis, the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) regulates the
onset of sister-chromatid separation and exit from mitosis by mediating
the ubiquitination and degradation of the securin protein and mitotic
cyclins. With the use of a baculoviral expression system, we have
reconstituted the ubiquitin ligase activity of human APC. In
combination with Ubc4 or UbcH10, a heterodimeric complex of APC2 and
APC11 is sufficient to catalyze the ubiquitination of human securin and
cyclin B1. However, the minimal APC2/11 ubiquitin ligase module does
not possess substrate specificity, because it also ubiquitinates the
destruction box deletion mutants of securin and cyclin B1. Both APC11
and UbcH10 bind to the C-terminal cullin homology domain of APC2,
whereas Ubc4 interacts with APC11 directly. Zn2+-binding
and mutagenesis experiments indicate that APC11 binds Zn2+
at a 1:3 M ratio. Unlike the two Zn2+ ions of the canonical
RING-finger motif, the third Zn2+ ion of APC11 is not
essential for its ligase activity. Surprisingly, with Ubc4 as the E2
enzyme, Zn2+ ions alone are sufficient to catalyze the
ubiquitination of cyclin B1. Therefore, the Zn2+ ions of
the RING finger family of ubiquitin ligases may be directly involved in catalysis.
