APC/C core is organized into three modules: 

1. a scaffold module 

2. a catalytic module

3. a substrate recognition module

Substrate-targeting subunits of the APC/C recognize specific sequence motifs on the proteins that the APC/C ubiquitinates. One motif, the destruction box or D-box, has the consensus sequence

RXXLX[D/E]ΦΦΦXN[N/S]

Mutating or deleting the destruction box in mitotic cyclins prevented their ubiquitination and blocked cells from exiting mitosis.
