Abstract excerpt
In both yeast and mammals, the topoisomerase poison camptothecin (CPT) induces fork reversal, which has been proposed to stabilize replication forks, thus providing time for the repair of CPT-induced lesions and supporting replication restart. We show that Tel1, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae orthologue of human ATM kinase, stabilizes CPT-induced reversed forks by counteracting their nucleolytic degradation by the...
