Abstract excerpt
Mrc1 and its vertebrate homologue Claspin serve as a mediator for replication stress checkpoint signaling, receiving the signal from Mec1/Rad3/ATR sensor kinase and transmitting it to the effector Rad53/Cds1/Chk1 kinase. They are likely to be a part of the replisome and facilitate the S-phase progression by promoting replication fork progression. Recent reports on Mrc1/Claspin indicate their new role in...
