Mitotic exit: delaying the end without FEAR

Curr Biol. 2002 Mar 19;12(6):R221-3. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(02)00756-x.

Abstract

Activation of Cdc14 phosphatase, controlled by a signalling cascade known as the mitotic exit network, is the final switch that drives cells from mitosis into the next cell cycle. The recent discovery of a novel network that regulates early Cdc14 activation has revealed the unexpected existence of a two-step control of mitotic exit.
