Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that perturbation of origin firing in chromosome replication causes DNA lesions and triggers DNA damage checkpoint control, which ensures genomic integrity by stopping cell cycle progression until the lesions are repaired or by inducing cell death if they are not properly repaired. This was based on the observation that the temperature-sensitive phenotype of orc1-4 and orc2-1 mutants...
