cdc25C is a phosphatase which regulates the activity of the mitosis promoting factor cyclin B/cdk1 by dephosphorylation, thus triggering G(2)/M transition. The activity of cdc25C is regulated by phosphorylation which by itself is implicated in regulating the subcellular localization. It is well accepted that cdc25C has to enter the nucleus to activate the cyclin B/cdk1 complex at G(2)/M transition. Here, we will show that cdc25C is located in the cytoplasm at defined dense structures which by immunofluorescence analysis as well as by biochemical subfractionation turned out to be the Golgi apparatus. It will be further shown that cdc25C at the Golgi fraction is an active phosphatase suggesting an additional and new role of cdc25C at the Golgi apparatus.

The goal was to characterize differences in cell response after exposure to active beam scanning (ABS) protons compared to a passive delivery system. Human lung epithelial (HLE) cells were evaluated at various locations along the proton depth dose profile. The dose delivered at the Bragg peak position was essentially identical (∼4 Gy) with the two techniques, but depth dose data showed that ABS resulted in lower doses at entry and more rapid drop-off after the peak.
