Catalysis of the reaction: S-prenyl-L-cysteine + O2 + H20 = a prenal + L-cysteine + H202.

Coordinated organization of groups of cells in the plane of an epithelium, such that they all orient to similar coordinates.

The directed movement of a cell or organism in response to an external stimulus.

The breakdown into simpler components of any isoprenoid compound, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) or compounds containing or derived from linked isoprene (3-methyl-2-butenylene) residues.

The process by which the anatomical structures of polarized epithelium are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A polarized epithelium is an epithelium where the epithelial sheet is oriented with respect to the planar axis.

A condensed mass of chromatin that represents an inactivated X chromosome.

The physiologic processes by which bone tissue is lost.

The processes that maintain the redox environment of a cell or compartment within a cell.

Any member of a family of heterodimeric transmembrane receptors for cell-adhesion molecules. The alpha and beta subunits are noncovalently bonded.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of a muscle fiber.

regulation of S phase of mitotic cell cycle

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the progression through the S phase of mitotic cell cycle.

Progression from metaphase to anaphase during mitosis, triggered by the destruction of mitotic cyclins.

A signal transduction-based surveillance mechanism that ensures accurate chromosome segregation by preventing entry into, passage through and exit from mitosis. Events that may be monitored include the formation of a correctly assembled spindle, the position of the spindle pole (centrosome) and the orientation of the spindle and cellular morphogenesis.

A signal transduction based surveillance mechanism that ensures the fidelity of cell division by preventing the premature advance of cells from metaphase to anaphase prior to the successful attachment of kinetochores to spindle microtubules (spindle assembly).
