Abstract excerpt
ATR (ATM and Rad3-related) initiates a DNA damage signaling pathway in human cells upon DNA damage induced by UV and UV-mimetic agents and in response to inhibition of DNA replication. Genetic data with human cells and in vitro data with Xenopus egg extracts have led to the conclusion that the kinase activity of ATR toward the signal-transducing kinase Chk1 depends on the mediator protein Claspin. Here we have...
