The Cdc2/cyclin B enzyme, involved in regulation of mitosis in eukaryotic cells, is subject to multiple levels of control. Among these, the regulation of the catalytic subunit by Tyrosine phosphorylation is the best understood. Tyrosine phosphorylation inhibits the Cdc2/cyclin B complex, while Tyrosine dephosphorylation, which occurs at the onset of mitosis, directly activates the pre-MPH complex. The Cdc25 gene serves as a rate-limiting mitotic activator, apparently due to its action as the Cdc2 Tyrosine phosphatase. In the absence of Cdc25, Cdc2 accumulates in a Tyrosine phosphorylated state. In addition, Cdc25 proteins from a variety of species have been shown to share a low degree of sequence similarity with other Tyrosine phosphatases. The Cdc25 gene family consists of at least three members that share approximately 40% identity in their most conserved carboxy-terminal sequences.

Post-translational Modification
Phosphorylated by BRSK1 in vitro. Phosphorylated by CHEK1, which inhibits the activity of this protein. Phosphorylation at Ser-353 by AURKA might locally participate in the control of the onset of mitosis. Phosphorylation by MELK at Ser-169 promotes localization to the centrosome and the spindle poles during mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-323 and Ser-375 by MAPK14 is required for binding to 14-3-3 proteins.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (ET1701-68) at 1/5,000 dilution was used in primary antibody dilution (K1803) at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells labeling Cdc25B.
Cells were fixed and permeabilized. Then stained with the primary antibody (ET1701-68, 1/1,000) (red) compared with Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (green). After incubation of the primary antibody at +4℃ for an hour, the cells were stained with a iFluor™ 488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody (HA1121) at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at +4℃. Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).
