Abstract excerpt
The checkpoint kinase Chk1 is an established transducer of ATR- and ATM-dependent signalling in response to DNA damage. In addition to its nuclear localization, Chk1 localizes to interphase centrosomes and thereby negatively regulates entry into mitosis by preventing premature activation of cyclin B-Cdk1 during unperturbed cell cycles. Here, we demonstrate that DNA damage caused by ultraviolet irradiation or...
