Abstract excerpt
In yeasts, the replication protein Cdc6/Cdc18 is required for the initiation of DNA replication and also for coupling S phase with the following mitosis. In metazoans a role for Cdc6 has only been shown in S phase entry. Here we provide evidence that human Cdc6 (HuCdc6) also regulates the onset of mitosis, as overexpression of HuCdc6 in G(2) phase cells prevents entry into mitosis. This block is abolished when...
