Abstract excerpt
Genome integrity is maintained by many cellular mechanisms in eukaryotes. One such mechanism functions during the cell cycle and is known as the DNA damage checkpoint. In the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, mus-9 and mus-21 are homologes of two key factors of the mammalian DNA damage checkpoint, ATR and ATM, respectively. We previously showed that mus-9 and mus-21 mutants are sensitive to DNA damage and...
