Gene Description

FZR1 (Cdh1, fizzy-related protein 1) is one of the two WD40 beta-propeller coactivators of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), the multisubunit RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that drives mitotic exit and G1. FZR1 docks onto the APC/C core through its N-terminal C-box and C-terminal IR tail, which repositions the APC2-APC11 catalytic module and raises the affinity of the APC/C for its E2 enzymes, and it recognises D-box, KEN-box and ABBA degrons on substrates through its propeller, forming a bipartite D-box receptor with APC10. It is not itself catalytic. APC/C-Cdh1 takes over from APC/C-Cdc20 in late anaphase once CDK1 activity falls and remains active through telophase and G1, directing ubiquitination (largely K11-linked chains built by UBE2C/UBE2S) and proteasomal degradation of mitotic cyclins, PLK1, Aurora kinases, CDC20, SKP2, CDC6, geminin, TK1, RRM2, claspin and many other cell-cycle regulators, thereby keeping CDK activity low, completing mitotic exit and restraining S-phase entry. Its activity is switched off at G1/S by cyclin A/CDK2 phosphorylation, which dissociates it from the APC/C, by the pseudosubstrate inhibitor EMI1/FBXO5, and by SCF(cyclin F)-mediated degradation; it is re-engaged by CDC14B dephosphorylation, SIRT2 deacetylation and nuclear PTEN. After DNA damage in G2, Cdc14B-dependent reactivation of APC/C-Cdh1 degrades PLK1 to enforce the G2 checkpoint, and Cdh1-directed turnover of RAD17 and CtIP shapes checkpoint termination and DNA-repair pathway choice. FZR1 is predominantly nuclear with a smaller cytoplasmic pool. Beyond proliferating cells, APC/C-Cdh1 acts in quiescent and post-mitotic cells, including neurons, to clear mitotic and chromatin proteins and support differentiation and neuronal development; heterozygous de novo loss-of-function FZR1 variants cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE109).

Summary: IPI with the APC/C core subunit CDC27 (ANAPC3). Lukas et al. showed that non-phosphorylatable Cdh1 assembles with APC even in S phase, defining the CDK-phosphorylation switch that controls Cdh1-APC/C association. The informative molecular function behind this interaction is FZR1's docking onto the APC/C as its coactivator, i.e. anaphase-promoting complex binding.
Reason: Generic protein binding carries no functional information. The CDC27 interaction is the coactivator-APC/C association through which FZR1 exerts every one of its functions (C-box/IR-tail docking onto APC3/APC8, structurally resolved in PMID:26083744 and PMID:27120157), so the row is better expressed as GO:0010997 anaphase-promoting complex binding, which the gene already carries by IBA/IEA.

Summary: IPI with MAD2L2 (MAD2B/REV7), an inhibitor that targets CDH1 rather than the APC/C core. MAD2B binds CDH1 and CDC20 and inhibits both CDH1-APC and CDC20-APC.
Reason: Generic protein binding (GO:0005515) adds no information about what FZR1 does. Binding by an inhibitor does not correspond to an informative FZR1 molecular function (GO has no 'ubiquitin ligase inhibitor binding' term that would be appropriate here); the relevant activity, APC/C activation, is annotated separately. Removal does not assert that the interaction is false; the biology is captured in the notes and in the specific MF/BP annotations.

Summary: IPI with FBXO5 (Emi1), the G1/S inhibitor of APC/C-Cdh1. Hsu et al. showed that E2F-induced hEmi1 promotes cyclin A accumulation and S-phase entry by inhibiting APC(Cdh1).
Reason: Generic protein binding (GO:0005515) adds no information about what FZR1 does. The row records FZR1 as the target of an inhibitor; the functional statement belongs on FBXO5 (ubiquitin ligase inhibitor activity), not on FZR1.

Summary: IPI with FBXO5 (Emi1) acting as a pseudosubstrate inhibitor. Miller et al. showed that Emi1 binds the D-box receptor site on APC/C-Cdh1 and competes with substrates for D-box binding.
Reason: Generic protein binding (GO:0005515) adds no information about what FZR1 does. The pseudosubstrate interaction demonstrates that FZR1 possesses a D-box receptor (already captured by GO:1990756), but the row itself only records inhibitor binding.

Summary: IPI with MAD2L2 in the context of the Shigella effector IpaB. The abstract describes IpaB targeting the APC inhibitor Mad2L2 to cause unscheduled APC activation and G2/M arrest; the FZR1-MAD2L2 interaction is a regulatory (inhibitory) contact.
Reason: Generic protein binding (GO:0005515) adds no information about what FZR1 does. The full text is not cached, but the abstract makes clear that the paper is about relief of Mad2L2 inhibition by a bacterial effector; no FZR1-specific molecular function follows from the interaction.

Summary: IPI with the APC/C core subunit CDC27 (ANAPC3). Bassermann et al. showed that Cdc14B dephosphorylates the four CDK sites of Cdh1 after DNA damage so that Cdh1 can re-associate with the APC/C core (CDC27) in G2. The informative molecular function behind this interaction is FZR1's docking onto the APC/C as its coactivator, i.e. anaphase-promoting complex binding.
Reason: Generic protein binding carries no functional information. The CDC27 interaction is the coactivator-APC/C association through which FZR1 exerts every one of its functions (C-box/IR-tail docking onto APC3/APC8, structurally resolved in PMID:26083744 and PMID:27120157), so the row is better expressed as GO:0010997 anaphase-promoting complex binding, which the gene already carries by IBA/IEA.

Summary: IPI with PLK1. PLK1 carries a D-box and is degraded by APC/C-Cdh1 in late M/G1 and, after DNA damage, in G2. The functional content of this interaction is degron-dependent substrate recruitment by the FZR1 WD40 propeller for APC/C-mediated ubiquitination.
Reason: Generic protein binding is uninformative. The cited work documents PLK1 as an APC/C-Cdh1 substrate whose recognition by FZR1 leads to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, which is exactly the ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity (GO:1990756) that FZR1 already carries by IDA (PMID:14701726).

Reason: Generic protein binding is uninformative.

Summary: IPI with USP37, a deubiquitinase that antagonises APC/C-Cdh1 in G1/S and becomes its substrate in mitosis. USP37 binds CDH1 and removes degradative polyubiquitin from cyclin A; in mitosis USP37 is itself K11-ubiquitinated by APC(CDH1).
Reason: Generic protein binding (GO:0005515) adds no information about what FZR1 does. The interaction is regulatory (a DUB docking on the coactivator).

Proteome-scale interactome rows record co-purification without characterising a molecular activity; the same partners are already captured by the specific MF rows derived from focused studies. Removal does not assert that the interaction is false; the biology is captured in the notes and in the specific MF/BP annotations.

GO_REF:0000033

Summary: PAINT node PTN000460086 (Cdc20/Fizzy family) assigns APC/C membership to the coactivators. FZR1 is the transiently bound substrate-recognition coactivator rather than a constitutive core subunit; GO conventionally uses part_of APC/C for Cdc20-family activators (compare slp1, CDC20, yeast CDH1), and human FZR1 has been resolved bound to the APC/C by cryo-EM (PDB 4UI9).
Reason: Phylogenetic inference agrees with direct structural and biochemical evidence that FZR1 assembles with the APC/C to form the active APC/C-Cdh1 ligase.

ACCEPT
Summary: After genotoxic stress in G2, Cdc14B dephosphorylates Cdh1, re-activating APC/C-Cdh1 to degrade PLK1; loss of PLK1 stabilises Claspin and Wee1 and enforces the G2 checkpoint. A constitutively active Cdh1(4xA) mutant bypasses the need for Cdc14B. FZR1 does the work of the step (substrate recognition of PLK1) rather than merely being required for it.
Reason: Well-controlled IDA with full text cached; a specific, mechanistically defined checkpoint role of the FZR1-APC/C ligase, also reflected in UniProt's function annotation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18662541

MODIFY
Summary: Review-derived statement that APC/C-Cdh1 regulates the mitotic cell cycle. True but very general; the specific, well-evidenced cell-cycle role of FZR1 not otherwise captured is that APC/C-Cdh1 keeps cyclin A/SKP2/CDC6 and other S-phase promoters low during G1, so that Cdh1 overexpression imposes a G1 block and Cdh1 inactivation (CDK phosphorylation, Emi1) is required for S-phase entry.
Reason: The generic term should be replaced by the more specific GO:2000134 negative regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle, which the pombe ortholog srw1/ste9 already carries (IGI), and which is supported here by Cdh1-overexpression G1 arrest and by the requirement to inhibit APC/C-Cdh1 for S-phase entry.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Ensembl Compara transfer of a mouse IMP (PMID:21241890) in which Cdh1 knockdown affected proliferation of Pten-deficient MEFs. The direct molecular role of APC/C-Cdh1 is to restrain cell-cycle entry (G1 maintenance, degradation of SKP2, cyclin A, CDC6); proliferation phenotypes in knockout cells arise indirectly through senescence, genome instability and checkpoint effects.
Reason: A phenotype-level term that conflicts in direction with FZR1's direct cell-cycle function and rests on a single mouse genetic-interaction context; it should not be read as a core function of the human protein.

Summary: Human Protein Atlas antibody staining additionally reports a nuclear-membrane pattern. No functional study places APC/C-Cdh1 activity at the nuclear envelope, and the literature IDA describes nuclear plus weak diffuse cytoplasmic signal.

Summary: Review-derived statement. Meiotic roles of Cdh1 (prophase I arrest and timing of meiosis I in mouse oocytes; Ime2-Cdh1 regulation in yeast) are documented in model organisms, but there is no direct evidence for human FZR1 in meiosis.
Reason: Plausible by orthology and not contradicted, but it is a context-specific role outside the characterised somatic-cell function of the human protein. The deep-research synthesis likewise cautions that FZR1-only phenotypes cannot automatically be assigned to the APC/C ligase.

Summary: Chen and Fang used in vitro APC activation by CDH1 (and its inhibition by MAD2B) to show that CDH1 directly activates the APC ubiquitin ligase.
Reason: The finding is correct, but direct activation by a bound coactivator is better represented by the molecular-function term ubiquitin ligase activator activity (GO:1990757, already carried by IBA) together with the process term positive regulation of anaphase-promoting complex-dependent catabolic process (GO:1905786); the generic 'positive regulation of ubiquitin protein ligase activity' process term is redundant and less specific.

Summary: Ensembl Compara transfer of a mouse IMP (PMID:21241890): Pten-loss-induced senescence depends on a Cdh1-Ets2-p16 pathway, i.e. impaired APC/C-Cdh1 allows Ets2 accumulation and p16 induction. The human part of the same paper shows that PTEN promotes APC/C-CDH1 assembly and that impaired APC-CDH1 underlies the senescence response to acute PTEN loss.

Core Functions

Substrate receptor of the APC/C: the FZR1 WD40 propeller recognises D-box, KEN-box and ABBA degrons on cell-cycle proteins (mitotic cyclins, PLK1, AURKA, CDC20, SKP2, CDC6, geminin, TK1, RRM2, claspin, cyclin F, HECW2, SASS6) and, with APC10, forms the bipartite D-box receptor that presents them to the APC2-APC11 catalytic module for K11-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation.

APC/C coactivator: unphosphorylated FZR1 binds the APC/C through its C-box and IR tail from late anaphase through G1 (replacing CDC20 as CDK1 activity falls), repositioning the catalytic module and increasing APC/C affinity for its E2 enzymes, so that mitotic regulators are cleared, mitotic exit is completed and G1 is maintained; the interaction is blocked by cyclin A/CDK2 phosphorylation and EMI1, and promoted by CDC14B dephosphorylation, SIRT2 deacetylation and nuclear PTEN.

G2 DNA-damage checkpoint effector: after genotoxic stress in G2, CDC14B-mediated dephosphorylation re-engages FZR1 with the APC/C and the reactivated APC/C-Cdh1 degrades PLK1, stabilising claspin and WEE1 and preventing entry into mitosis; FZR1-directed turnover of RAD17 and claspin then contributes to checkpoint termination and recovery.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: GO represents FZR1's activation of the APC/C both as a molecular function (GO:1990757 ubiquitin ligase activator activity, IBA) and as a process (GO:1904668 positive regulation of ubiquitin protein ligase activity, IDA). Should the process-level term be retired for direct coactivators in favour of the MF term plus GO:1905786, as proposed here?

Q: Several APC/C-Cdh1 substrates are recorded on FZR1 only as generic IPI protein-binding rows (PLK1, CLSPN, RAD17, RRM2, SKP2, HECW2, CCNF, SASS6). Would curators support converting these to GO:1990756 ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity with 'has input' extensions, so that the substrate relationships become machine-readable?

Q: The neuronal and post-mitotic roles of FZR1 (chromatin-protein clearance, neurodevelopment, DEE109) are documented mainly in mouse and Drosophila. Which, if any, should be annotated to human FZR1 given that some proposed neuronal substrates were not confirmed when the core subunit APC4 was deleted?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute human APC/C with wild-type and variant FZR1, measure APC/C binding (C-box/IR-tail dependent) and D-box/KEN-box peptide affinity, and quantify ubiquitination of PLK1, TK1 and INCENP with UBE2C/UBE2S; complement with rescue of FZR1-null cells for G1 length and mitotic-protein clearance.

Hypothesis: DEE109 missense variants (D187G/N, N333K) impair APC/C-Cdh1 substrate-adaptor and coactivator activity by disrupting the WD40 degron-binding surface or the APC/C-docking interface.

Type: in vitro reconstitution and mutational rescue

Experiment: Use degron-mutant FZR1 (N-terminal D-box/Cy motif) and non-degradable cyclin F in single-cell live imaging of APC/C-Cdh1 activity reporters to test whether disrupting either arm of the feedback advances or delays G1/S.

Hypothesis: The cyclin F/APC/C-Cdh1 reciprocal circuit sets the timing of S-phase entry in human cells.

Type: live-cell imaging with degron mutants
