The E3-ubiquitin ligase APC/C and its cofactor Cdh1 have been shown to play important roles in axonal growth and synaptic plasticity. In this study, Eguren et al.show that elimination of Cdh1 in the developing nervous system results in defects in the neural progenitor compartment, hydrocephalus and reduced lifespan.
