Abstract excerpt
The evolutionarily conserved protein kinases Mec1 and Rad53 are required for checkpoint response and growth. Here we show that their role in growth is to remove the ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor Sml1 to ensure DNA replication. Sml1 protein levels fluctuate during the cell cycle, being lowest during S phase. The disappearance of Sml1 protein in S phase is due to post-transcriptional regulation and is...
