Mutations of p34cdc2 phosphorylation sites induce premature mitotic events in HeLa cells: evidence for a double block to p34cdc2 kinase activation in vertebrates.

Abstract excerpt

In vertebrates, entry into mitosis is accompanied by dephosphorylation of p34cdc2 kinase on threonine 14 (Thr14) and tyrosine 15 (Tyr15). To examine the role of these residues in controlling p34cdc2 kinase activation, and hence the onset of mitosis, we replaced Thr14 and/or Tyr15 by non-phosphorylatable residues and transfected wild-type and mutant chicken p34cdc2 cDNAs into HeLa cells. While expression of...
