Preparation and Storage

Background: MASTL

MAST-L is a ubiquitous microtubule associated serine/threonine kinase which plays a key role in mitosis. During entry into mitosis, CDK1 and MASTL kinase repress the activity of mitotic protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A. Mitotic exit requires partial dephosphorylation of MASTL by PP1, followed by dephosphorylation of PP2A. PP1 is partially reactivated by decreases in CDK1 activity. PP1 then reactivates PP1A. Mutations of MASTL have been associated with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia, a decrease in the number of platelets circulating in blood. MASTL kinase is frequently upregulated in several cancers, and is correlated with cancer progression, poor patient survival and tumor recurrence. Ectopic expression of MASTL in tumor cells has been shown to promote cell proliferation, and MASTL has been identified as a target for therapeutic intervention.
