Abstract excerpt
DNA damage checkpoint is an important mechanism for organisms to maintain genome integrity. In Neurospora crassa, mus-9 and mus-21 are homologues of ATR and ATM, respectively, which are pivotal factors of DNA damage checkpoint in mammals. A N. crassa clock gene prd-4 has been identified as a CHK2 homologue, but its role in DNA damage response had not been elucidated. In this study, we identified another CHK2...
