Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleotide reductase activity is essential for progression through the cell cycle, catalyzing the rate-limiting step for the production of deoxyribonucleotides needed for DNA synthesis. The enzymatic activity of the enzyme fluctuates in the cell cycle with an activity maximum in S phase. We have identified and characterized two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes encoding the regulatory subunit of ribonucleotide...
