CDC25 Dual-Specificity Protein Phosphatases: Detection and Activity Measurements

关键词: dual-specificity specificity protein来源: 互联网

Most cyclin-dependent kinases are negatively regulated by phosphorylation of two residues, a threonine at residue 14 and a tyrosine at residue 15. These residues are dephosphorylated by the cdc25 family of dual-specificity phosphatases leading to cell cycle progression. These phosphatases are inactivated by cellular checkpoint pathways in response to DNA damage leading to cell cycle arrest. Checkpoint pathways regulate the function of these phosphatases by regulating their stability, localization, association with substrate, and their activity. Hence, determining these properties for the cdc25 family of phosphatases becomes crucial for understanding how checkpoint pathways regulate the function of the cdc25 family members and, hence, cell cycle progression. This chapter describes methods to determine the activity, levels, phosphorylation status, and localization of both endogenous and overexpressed cdc25 proteins.
