Abstract excerpt
Checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2), a DNA damage-activated protein kinase, is phosphorylated at Thr-68 by ataxia telangiectasia mutated leading to its activation by phosphorylation at several additional sites. Using mass spectrometry we identified a new Chk2 phosphorylation site at Ser-456. We show that phosphorylation of Ser-456 plays a role in the regulation of Chk2 stability particularly after DNA damage. Mutation of...
