Abstract excerpt
Upon chromosomal damage, cells activate a checkpoint response that includes cell cycle arrest and a stimulation of DNA repair. The checkpoint protein Rad24 is key to the survival of a single, repairable double-strand break (DSB). However, the low survival of rad24 cells is not due to their inability to arrest cell cycle progression. In rad24 mutants, processing of the broken ends is delayed and protracted,...
