During the early stages of mitosis, Cdc2 and PLK1 cooperate to phosphorylate Emi1 and this modification induces Emi1 degradation through a Skp1-Cullin1 F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase-mediated proteolysis. Degradation of Emi1 permits activation of anaphase promoting complex and thereby the onset of anaphase.
