Abstract

Chk2 is a protein kinase that is activated in response to DNA damage and may regulate cell cycle arrest. We generated Chk2-deficient mouse cells by gene targeting. Chk2 −/− embryonic stem cells failed to maintain γ-irradiation–induced arrest in the G 2 phase of the cell cycle. Chk2 −/− thymocytes were resistant to DNA damage–induced apoptosis. Chk2 −/− cells were defective for p53 stabilization and for induction of p53-dependent transcripts such as p21 in response to γ irradiation. Reintroduction of the Chk2 gene restored p53-dependent transcription in response to γ irradiation. Chk2 directly phosphorylated p53 on serine 20, which is known to interfere with Mdm2 binding. This provides a mechanism for increased stability of p53 by prevention of ubiquitination in response to DNA damage.

5. An 11-kb genomic Chk2 fragment was isolated from a mouse genomic 129/J library. A 5-kb sequence containing exons encoding the kinase domain of Chk2 was replaced by a neomycin cassette inserted in the antisense orientation. E14K ES cells were electroporated with the linearized construct and G418-resistant ES colonies were identified by polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting. Chk2 −/− ES cell lines were generated by culturing G418-resistant Chk2 +/ − ES clones in G418 (3.6 mg/ml; Gibco).
