Background
Cell cycle events are regulated by the sequential activation and deactivation of cyclindependent kinases (Cdks) and by proteolysis of cyclins. Chk1 and Chk2 are involved inthese processes as regulators of Cdks. Chk1 and Chk2 both function as essentialcomponents in the G2 DNA damage checkpoint by phosphorylating Cdc25C in response toDNA damage. Phosphorylation inhibits Cdc25C activity, thereby blocking mitosis. Cdc25A,Cdc25B and Cdc25C protein tyrosine phosphatases function as mitotic activators bydephosphorylating Cdc2 p34 on regulatory tyrosine residues. It has also been shown thatChk1 can phosphorylate Wee1 in vitro, providing evidence that the hyperphosphorylatedform of Wee1, seen in cells delayed by Chk1 overexpression, is due to phosphorylation byChk1.
