Descriptions

CHEK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase and is a key mediator that links the DNA stress responses to the cell cycle. Full-length CHEK1 has only low basal activity when expressed. Truncation of the C-terminal regulatory region activates CHEK1 even in the absence of stress.

2 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
histone H3T11 kinase activity Catalysis of the reaction
protein kinase activity Catalysis of the phosphorylation of an amino acid residue in a protein, usually according to the reaction
protein serine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions
protein serine/threonine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions

8 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
centrosome separation The process in which duplicated centrosome components move away from each other. The centriole pair within each centrosome becomes part of a separate microtubule organizing center that nucleates a radial array of microtubules called an aster. The two asters move to opposite sides of the nucleus to form the two poles of the mitotic spindle.
DNA damage checkpoint signaling A signal transduction process that contributes to a DNA damage checkpoint.
mitotic DNA replication checkpoint signaling A signal transduction process that contributes to a mitotic DNA replication checkpoint.
protein phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein.
regulation of cell cycle Any process that modulates the rate or extent of progression through the cell cycle.
regulation of syncytial blastoderm mitotic cell cycle A cell cycle process that modulates the rate or extent of the progression through the syncytial blastoderm mitotic cell cycle.
spindle assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form the spindle, the array of microtubules and associated molecules that serves to move duplicated chromosomes apart.
wound healing The series of events that restore integrity to a damaged tissue, following an injury.
