Abstract excerpt
The fission yeast Dbf4 homologue Dfp1 has a well-characterized role in regulating the initiation of DNA replication. Sequence analysis of Dfp1 homologues reveals three highly conserved regions, referred to as motifs N, M, and C. To determine the roles of these conserved regions in Dfp1 function, we have generated dfp1 alleles with mutations in these regions. Mutations in motif N render cells sensitive to a broad...
