Macrophage WEE1 Directly Binds to and Phosphorylates NF‐κB p65 Subunit to Induce Inflammatory Response and Drive Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science
Atherosclerosis has an urgent need for new therapeutic targets. Protein kinases orchestrate multiple cellular events in atherosclerosis and may provide new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis. Here, a protein kinase, WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase (WEE1),

Molecular Links Between Heat Stress and DNA Damage Response in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural productivity and, consequently, to global food security. Among the consequences of climate change, heat stress (HS) has emerged as a critical factor limiting crop performance. This has stimulated extensive research over the past decade to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms ...

Identification of a Wee1-like kinase gene essential for procyclic Trypanosoma brucei survival. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Regulation of eukaryotic cell cycle progression requires sequential activation and inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Activation of the cyclin B-cdc2 kinase complex is a pivotal step in mitotic initiation and the tyrosine kinase Wee1 is a ...

Proto‐Panic Modulation by Caffeine‐Proteinoid Complexes

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 41, November 5, 2026.
Caffeine–proteinoid microspheres synthesized by thermal polymerization exhibit compartmentalized drug loading with encapsulation efficiencies of 61%–82% and triphasic release kinetics. Electrochemical monitoring reveals multi‐scale oscillatory dynamics consistent with chaotic and damped harmonic behavior, while Boolean logic operations demonstrate ...

Cdc25 and Wee1: analogous opposites? [PDF]

Cell Division, 2007
Movement through the cell cycle is controlled by the temporally and spatially ordered activation of cyclin-dependent kinases paired with their respective cyclin binding partners. Cell cycle events occur in a stepwise fashion and are monitored by molecular surveillance systems to ensure that each cell cycle process is appropriately completed before ...

Posttranslational Modification Cross‐Talk in Vascular Cells: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications for Atherosclerosis

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is driven by coordinated changes in endothelial cells (ECs), macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Post‐translational modifications (PTMs), phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, O‐GlcNAcylation, palmitoylation, ISGylation, and ADP‐ribosylation, integrate metabolic, inflammatory, and ...

Murine Wee1 Plays a Critical Role in Cell Cycle Regulation and Pre-Implantation Stages of Embryonic Development

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006
Wee1 kinase regulates the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint by phosphorylating and inactivating the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1). Loss of Wee1 in many systems, including yeast and drosophila, leads to premature mitotic entry.

WEE1 inhibitors synergise with mRNA translation defects via activation of the kinase GCN2

Nature Communications
Inhibitors of the protein kinase WEE1 have emerged as promising agents for cancer therapy. In this study, we uncover synergistic interactions between WEE1 small-molecule inhibitors and defects in mRNA translation, mediated by activation of the integrated

Augmented antitumor activity by olaparib plus AZD1775 in gastric cancer through disrupting DNA damage repair pathways and DNA damage checkpoint

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018
Background Targeting poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) has been recently identified as a promising option against gastric cancer (GC). However, PARP inhibitors alone achieve limited efficacy.

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 10, Page 2490-2509, October 2026.
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)
