Assay Name:  Dose Response Cell-based Assay for Inhibitors of Wee1 Degradation
Description:  Source (MLPCN Center Name): The Scripps Research Institute Molecular Screening Center Center Affiliation: The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) Assay Provider: Nagi Ayad, TSRI Network: Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Proposal Number: 1R21NS056991-01 Grant Proposal PI: Nagi Ayad, TSRI External Assay ID: Wee1Degradation_ACT_LUMI_1536_EC50 Name: Dose Response Cell-based Assay for Inhibitors of Wee1 Degradation Description: Cell cycle progression and entry into mitosis are regulated by a highly conserved cellular process known as checkpoint signaling (1-4). The Wee1 nuclear tyrosine kinase functions in this process by regulating the cdc2/cyclinB protein complex. Specifically, Wee1 mediates inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2, leading to delayed mitosis and cell cycle arrest in cells with DNA damage so that DNA repair and replication can occur (1-4). Wee1 activity is inhibited during mitosis by its phosphorylation and ubiquitination by E3 ligases, and
