Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of Thr-68 by the ataxia telangiectasia-mutated is necessary for efficient activation of Chk2 when cells are exposed to ionizing radiation. By an unknown mechanism, this initial event promotes additional autophosphorylation events including modifications of Thr-383 and Thr-387, two...
