Abstract excerpt
An ATR-dependent G(2) checkpoint responds to inhibition of topoisomerase II and delays entry into mitosis by sustaining nuclear exclusion of cyclin B1-Cdk1 complexes. Here we report that induction of this checkpoint with ICRF-193, a topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitor that does not cause DNA damage, was associated with an ATR-dependent inhibition of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) kinase activity and a decrease in...
