Indicate whether each of the following phosphorylation events typically activate

Question

Indicate whether each of the following phosphorylation events typically activates (A) or inactivates (I) the protein that is being phosphorylated. The correct answer will be a four-letter string composed of letters A and I only, e.g. IIIA.

( A ) Phosphorylation of Cdc25 by M-Cdk

( A ) Phosphorylation of condensin subunits by M-Cdk

( A ) Phosphorylation of APC/C by M-Cdk <<<< NOT SURE BUT, since (synthesis increases during the approach to mitosis
phosphorylation of APC/C (by M-Cdk) helps Cdc20 bind to APC/C)...

( I ) Phosphorylation of Ndc80 subunits by Aurora-B

I think the answer is AAAI

Explanation / Answer

Yes, you are right. The answer is AAAI.

The correct answer will be:

AAAI

During the M-Phase of Cellular replication,chromosomes are duplicated and other cell contents are distributed equally between the two daughter cells. The events of mitosis are triggered by M-Phase Cyclin-Cdk Complexes. Phosphorylation of Cdc25 by M-Cdk shows activation. Phosphorylation of condensin subunits by M-Cdk shows activation. Phosphorylation of APC/C by M-Cdk shows activation. Phosphorylation of Ndc80 subunits by Aurora-B shows inactivation.
