The mammalian Forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1) protein, known for its function as a
transcriptional regulator of G1/S progression, is also crucial for the G2/M transition. Some of
its target genes are cyclin B, Cdc25B phosphatase, Aurora B kinase and Polo-like kinase.
Furthermore, identification of the nuclear protein CENP-F as a transcriptional target of
FoxM1 reveals how it can also regulate the spindle assembly checkpoint, thereby ensuring
proper chromosome stability and segregation during mitosis.
