Abstract excerpt
During early embryogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans, the ATL-1-CHK-1 (ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3 related-Chk1) checkpoint controls the timing of cell division in the future germ line, or P lineage, of the animal. Activation of the CHK-1 pathway by its canonical stimulus DNA damage is actively suppressed in early embryos so that P lineage cell divisions may occur on schedule. We recently found that...
