Onset of the DNA replication checkpoint in the early Drosophila embryo.

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila embryo is a promising model for isolating gene products that coordinate S phase and mitosis. We have reported before that increasing maternal Cyclin B dosage to up to six copies (six cycB) increases Cdk1-Cyclin B (CycB) levels and activity in the embryo, delays nuclear migration at cycle 10, and produces abnormal nuclei at cycle 14. Here we show that the level of CycB in the embryo inversely...
