Abstract excerpt
The Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) is a critical component of replication initiation. We have previously reported generation of an Orc2 hypomorph cell line (Delta/-) that expresses very low levels of Orc2 but is viable. We have shown here that Chk2 is phosphorylated, suggesting that DNA damage checkpoint pathways are activated. p53 was inactivated during the derivation of the Orc2 hypomorphic cell lines,...
