Probable component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle (PubMed:20392738). The APC/C complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of target proteins (By similarity). Developmental role in early embryogenesis and the metaphase to anaphase transition in meiosis and mitosis (PubMed:11134076, PubMed:21775471). May be required for germline proliferation (PubMed:21775471). Required for male tail development and hermaphrodite vulva formation (PubMed:21775471). Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. The APC/C is probably composed of at least 12 subunits: apc-2, apc-10, apc-11, cdc-26, emb-1, emb-27, emb-30, mat-1, mat-2, mat-3, such-1 and gfi-3. Expressed in germ cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown is largely embryonic lethal. Fertilized eggs show a metaphase-to-anaphase transition defective (Mat) phenotype. Arrest occurs at meiosis I at the one-cell stage of embryogenesis.
