Abstract excerpt
Fission yeast cells with a temperature-sensitive Orp1 protein, a component of the origin recognition complex, cannot perform DNA replication at the restrictive temperature. Seventy percent of orp1-4 cells arrest with a 1C DNA content, whereas 30% proceed to mitosis ('cut'). The arrest depends upon the checkpoint Rad proteins and, surprisingly, the Chk1 protein, which is thought to act only from late S phase. The...
