Initial pool of active cyclin B-CDK1 phosphorylates Cdc25C, this recruits Pin1 and Plk1, which recognize Cdc25C through their phospho-binding domains.

Glyoxysomes

Conversion of fats to sugars is accomplished by a series of reactions known as the Glyoxylate cycle

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology

Two types of plant peroxisomes:

Present in leaves - participates in photorespiration.

Present in germinating seeds (glyoxysomes) - converts fatty acids into sugars.

β oxidation

In mammalian cells, occurs in mitochondria & peroxisomes.

In yeast and plant cells, occurs in peroxisomes.

Catalase uses the H2O2 to oxidize a variety of other substrates (formic acid, formaldehyde, and alcohol) by the “peroxidation” reaction.
