Abstract excerpt
In response to DNA damage, eukaryotic cells use a system of checkpoint controls to delay cell-cycle progression. Checkpoint delays provide time for repair of damaged DNA before its replication in S phase and before segregation of chromatids in M phase. The Cds1 (Chk2) tumour-suppressor protein has been implicated in certain checkpoint responses in mammalian cells. It directly phosphorylates and inactivates the...
