Western blot analysis of extracts from Raji (lane 1) and NIH3T3 (lane 2) and Jurkat (lane 3) using Chk1 antibody. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% nonfat powdered milk in PBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (1/1000) and Loading control antibody (GAPDH, 1/3000) was diluted with 5% nonfat powdered milk in PBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (1/8,000) was incubated for 45min at room temperature. -
Immunocytochemistry analysis of Hela cells labeling Chk1 with Chk1 Antibody (HY-P80617) at 1/100 dilution. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with quick block buffer for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Chk1 Antibody (HY-P80617) at 1/100 dilution in quick block buffer overnight at 4 ℃. AF488-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L(HY-P8002, Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Background
-
Function
Chk1 (checkpoint kinase 1) mediates the DNA damage response and normal cell-cycle regulation through checkpoint activation, cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair, and cell death control[1]. Mechanistically, Chk1 functions as a key transducer in genome-integrity checkpoints, especially within ATR-linked responses to stalled replication and genotoxic stress[2][3]. In cancer research, this role makes Chk1 relevant to replication stress, BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer models, and studies combining checkpoint inhibition with DNA-damaging therapy[4][5]. Compared with Chk2, Chk1 shows distinct activation biology and experimentally separable checkpoint functions, while Chk1-S acts as an endogenous splice-variant inhibitor that regulates Chk1-dependent checkpoints[2][6]. For experimental applications, Chk1 inhibitors such as prexasertib/LY2606368 induce replication catastrophe and have been tested in tumor models and recurrent high-grade serous ovarian cancer[7][8].

Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification
O14757 has 3 isomers: O14757-1: 54434 Da (predicted); O14757-2: 43703 Da (predicted); O14757-3: 50415 Da (predicted).
Phosphorylated by ATR in a RAD17-dependent manner in response to ultraviolet irradiation and inhibition of DNA replication (PubMed:10859164, PubMed:11390642, PubMed:12446774, PubMed:12588868, PubMed:12676583, PubMed:12676925, PubMed:12676962, PubMed:14681223, PubMed:14988723, PubMed:15650047, PubMed:15707391, PubMed:15870257, PubMed:25083873, PubMed:31316063). Phosphorylated by ATM in response to ionizing irradiation (PubMed:12588868, PubMed:12676583). ATM and ATR can both phosphorylate Ser-317 and Ser-345 and this results in enhanced kinase activity (PubMed:11390642, PubMed:12446774, PubMed:12588868, PubMed:12660173, PubMed:12676583, PubMed:12676962, PubMed:14657349, PubMed:15665856, PubMed:15707391, PubMed:15870257, PubMed:25083873). Phosphorylation at Ser-345 induces a change in the conformation of the protein, activates the kinase activity and is a prerequisite for interaction with FBXO6 and subsequent ubiquitination at Lys-436 (PubMed:19716789). Phosphorylation at Ser-345 also increases binding to 14-3-3 proteins and promotes nuclear retention (PubMed:12676962). Conversely, dephosphorylation at Ser-345 by PPM1D may contribute to exit from checkpoint mediated cell cycle arrest (PubMed:15870257). Phosphorylation at Ser-280 by AKT1/PKB, may promote mono and/or diubiquitination. Also phosphorylated at undefined residues during mitotic arrest, resulting in decreased activity (By similarity);Ubiquitinated. Mono or diubiquitination promotes nuclear exclusion (By similarity). The activated form (phosphorylated on Ser-345) is polyubiquitinated at Lys-436 by some SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing FBXO6 promoting its degradation. Ubiquitination and degradation are required to terminate the checkpoint and ensure that activated CHEK1 does not accumulate as cells progress through S phase, when replication forks encounter transient impediments during normal DNA replication. 'Lys-63'-mediated ubiquitination by TRAF4 at Lys-132 activates cell cycle arrest and activation of DNA repair (PubMed:32357935);Proteolytically cleaved at the C-terminus by SPRTN during normal DNA replication, thereby promoting CHEK1 removal from chromatin and activating the protein kinase activity -
