Wee1 Signaling Pathway Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0316-WXH)

Introduction

The Weel family includes Wee1A, Wee1B, and Myt1. Wee1A is present in somatic cells; Wee1B is present in blast cells; Myt1 is expressed in both somatic and blast cells. So far, the Wee1 protein is the most well-known Weel protein, and Wee1 protein kinases are members of the serine/threonine family and are highly conserved in evolution and are abundantly present in many eukaryotes and are very active in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. Wee1 protein kinase is a key regulatory center in DNA replication, chromosomal concentration, and histone transcription.




Principle

The conduction of the wee1 signaling pathway can be described in two ways: 1). The role of Wee1 protein kinase in the cell cycle. In the G2/M phase of the cell, Wee1 protein kinase inactivates the CDK1/Cyclin B complex by inhibiting CDK1 activity by phosphorylating the Tyr15 site of CDK1, thereby inhibiting the cell cycle into the mitosis phase; in the S phase, Wee1 protein kinase that acts as the chromatin synthesis sensor has two consecutive phosphorylation events. One is to phosphorylate the Tyr15 site of CDK1 throughout the S phase of the cell, preventing cells from entering the next cell cycle phase until DNA replication or repair is complete; The second is to phosphorylate the Tyr37 site of histone H2B, stop histone synthesis, and maintain the correct histone-to-DNA ratio before entering the mitosis phase.
2). The role of Wee1 protein kinase in DNA damage response. Wee1 protein kinase phosphorylates the Tyr15 site of CDK1/CyclinB complex CDK1, which inactivates the cell cycle to prevent DNA repair in the G2 phase.
