Abstract excerpt
Somatic mammalian cells possess well-established S-phase programs with specific regions of the genome replicated at precise times. The ATR-Chk1 pathway plays a central role in these programs, but the mechanism for how Chk1 regulates origin firing remains unknown. We demonstrate here the essential role of cyclin A2-Cdk1 in the regulation of late origin firing. Activity of cyclin A2-Cdk1 was hardly detected at the...
