Analysis of the mitotic exit control system using locked levels of stable mitotic cyclin
We devised a method to measure quantitative relationships between mitotic cyclin levels and execution of multiple steps in mitotic exit. Undegradable mitotic cyclin slows mitotic exit in a dose dependent manner, but stable arrest requires more cyclin than is made during a normal cell cycle.
