Western blot analysis was performed on protein extracts (25 μg) from Hela (lane 2), DU145 (lane 3), A549 (lane 4), HCT 116 (lane 5), and K562 (lane 6) using Chk2 antibody. Proteins were transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ system for 13 min. The membrane was then blocked with 5% nonfat milk in TBST (HY-K1025) for 1 h at room temperature. The primary antibody (1:1000) and loading control antibody GAPDH Antibody (HRP) (HY-P80954A) (1:5000) were diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST and incubated with the membrane overnight at 4°C. After washing, the membrane of primary antibody was incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit/mouse IgG secondary antibody (HY-P8001/HY-P8004) (1:5000) diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using an Ultra High Sensitivity ECL detection kit (HY-K1005).

Background

Function
Checkpoint kinase Chk2 (CHEK2) is a serine/threonine kinase and key DNA damage response component that coordinates checkpoint activation, DNA repair, apoptosis, senescence, or damage tolerance after genotoxic stress[1]. Mechanistically, ATM-mediated Thr68 phosphorylation triggers CHK2 dimerization through phospho-Thr68-FHA interactions, followed by activation-loop autophosphorylation and kinase activation[2]. Activated CHK2 connects DNA damage signaling to p53 stabilization, BRCA1 phosphorylation, and cell-cycle control, therefore supporting genome integrity research in cancer models[3][4]. In disease contexts, CHK2 functions as a tumor-suppressive kinase linked to cancer susceptibility, while experimental data also show context-dependent roles in DNA damage-induced apoptosis and checkpoint arrest[5][6]. Compared with Chk1, CHK2 is structurally distinct and is activated mainly by DNA damage, whereas Chk1 has a broader role in S-phase and G2 checkpoint control[6]. For experimental applications, the selective CHK2 inhibitor CCT241533 blocks CHK2 activity in tumor cell lines after DNA damage and potentiates cytotoxicity of PARP inhibitors, supporting pathway-dissection studies rather than unsupported monotherapy claims[7].- CHK2 links ATM-driven DNA damage signaling to p53, BRCA1, apoptosis, and checkpoint control. - CHK2 differs from Chk1 in activation pattern, checkpoint dependence, and experimental inhibitor utility.

Phosphorylated. Phosphorylated at Ser-73 by PLK3 in response to DNA damage, promoting phosphorylation at Thr-68 by ATM and the G2/M transition checkpoint. Phosphorylation at Thr-68 induces homodimerization. Autophosphorylates at Thr-383 and Thr-387 in the T-loop/activation segment upon dimerization to become fully active and phosphorylate its substrates like for instance CDC25C. DNA damage-induced autophosphorylation at Ser-379 induces CUL1-mediated ubiquitination and regulates the pro-apoptotic function. Phosphorylation at Ser-456 also regulates ubiquitination. Phosphorylated by PLK4;Ubiquitinated. CUL1-mediated ubiquitination regulates the pro-apoptotic function. Ubiquitination may also regulate protein stability. Ubiquitinated by RNF8 via 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination -
Subunit
Homodimer. Homodimerization is part of the activation process but the dimer may dissociate following activation. Interacts with PML. Interacts with TP53. Interacts with RB1; phosphorylates RB1. Interacts with BRCA1. Interacts (phosphorylated at Thr-68) with MDC1; requires ATM-mediated phosphorylation of CHEK2. Interacts with TP53BP1; modulates CHEK2 phosphorylation at Thr-68 in response to ionizing radiation. Interacts with CDC25A; phosphorylates CDC25A and mediates its degradation in response to ionizing radiation. Interacts with CUL1; mediates CHEK2 ubiquitination and regulation. Interacts with CDKN2AIP. Interacts (via protein kinase domain) with CCAR2 (via N-terminus). Interacts with SIRT1
