Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase Chk1 is essential for the DNA damage checkpoint. Cells lacking Chk1 are hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents such as UV light and gamma-irradiation because they fail to arrest the cell cycle when DNA damage is generated. Phosphorylation of Chk1 occurs after DNA damage and is d...
