Fizzy-related protein homolog (FZR1)

Substrate-specific adapter for the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Associates with the APC/C in late mitosis, in replacement of CDC20, and activates the APC/C during anaphase and telophase.

The APC/C remains active in degrading substrates to ensure that positive regulators of the cell cycle don't accumulate prematurely. At the G1/S transition FZR1 is phosphorylated, leading to its dissociation from the APC/C.
