Abstract excerpt
An intra-S phase checkpoint slows the rate of DNA replication in response to DNA damage and replication fork blocks in eukaryotic cells. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, such down-regulation is achieved through the Rad53 kinase-dependent block of origins of replication. We have identified the Rad53 phosphorylation sites on Dbf4, the activator subunit of the essential S phase Dbf4-dependent kinase,...
