Scientific Background: Chk1 (CHEK1) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CAMK group and CAMKL family. It is required for checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest. It appears to be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). The active form of the protein kinase normally acts to inhibit tumour cell proliferation. It activates DNA repair (i.e. homologous recombination) by phosphorylating RAD51 or FANCE in response to the presence of damage or unreplicated DNA. It regulates cell cycle progression via several mechanisms: 1) phosphorylation of certain proteins such as CDC25A, CDC25B and CDC25C, promoting their degradation; 2) phosphorylation and activation of p53; 3) phosphorylation and inactivation of TLK1, which consequently prevents TLK1-dependent phosphorylation of chromatin assembly factor ASF1A; 4) phosphorylation of histones and regulating transcription of genes involved in cell-cycle progression regulation; 5) phosphorylation of RB1 to promote its interaction with E2F transcription factors and subsequent cell cycle arrest. It is nhibited by phosphorylation at S280. S345A mutation of Chk1 leads to reduced phosphorylation and impaired activation to nuclear retention after checkpoint activation. Mutations at 372, 376, and 379 amino acids lead to misfolding and induced binding with ubiquitin.
