Overexpression of CDC25B, but not CDC25C, causes S-phase and G2-phase cells to enter mitosis prematurely, overriding the unreplicated-DNA checkpoint. CDC25B is cytoplasmic during S and G2 phases due to nuclear export, and this nuclear export is dependent on cyclin B1, establishing a distinct localization and checkpoint behavior compared to CDC25C. |
