Abstract excerpt
CHK1 is an essential kinase involved in the regulation of the cell cycle progression and preservation of genomic integrity. Inhibition of CHK1 leads to the accumulation of double-stranded DNA breaks. Loss of PTEN impairs CHK1-mediated checkpoint activation due to cytoplasmic sequestration of ubiquitinated CHK1. Here, we provide evidence that another consequence of reduced CHK1 function in PTEN deficient cells is...
