Kinase Classification: Group Other: Family WEE

Wee kinase was discovered in S. pombe (1). For a perspective on its discovery see (2). There are two WEE family kinases in the Schizosaccharomyces, wee1 and mik1 (3), both of which inhibit entry into mitosis by phosphorylating Cdc2 on Tyr15. Wee1 inhibits entry into mitosis based on cell-size, while Mik1 inhibits entry into mitosis based on replicative stress (4). Budding yeast appears to have lost the mik1 ortholog (JMG, 3/8/11).


The Wee family has the following subfamilies:

Subfamily WEE1

Subfamily Myt1
