Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, the maternally expressed mei-41 and grp genes are required for successful execution of the nuclear division cycles of early embryogenesis. In fission yeast, genes encoding similar kinases (rad3 and chk1, respectively) are components of a cell cycle checkpoint that delays mitosis by inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdk1. We have identified mutations in a gene encoding a Cdk1 inhibitory kinase,...
