Wee Kinases, Big Impact: Wee and Myt Kinases as Critical Regulators of Meiotic Progression

2026-04-17

Abstract excerpt

Regulation of the cell cycle is critical for maintaining genomic integrity. Therefore, cells have adapted several mechanisms to ensure that cell cycle events occur in a precise order. Some mechanisms regulate cell cycle progression by inhibiting cell cycle drivers, cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). The Wee1/Myt1 family of kinases regulate the G2 to M phase transition by phosphorylating and inactivating Cdk1. Invest...
