Simulation:

Change of parameters: kspds'=0.1, kd2pds"=kd3pds"=0, MDT=150.
Arrest: Exit mitosis at t=353.8 min with sister chromatids still attached.

Experimental results: Inviable. Cohen-Fix (1996) text, when mutant cells continuously overexpress Pds1-db∆ for > 6 hrs, some become aploid, they undergo cytokinesis in the absence of nuclear division.
