Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe were used to define genes involved in the cell cycle arrest produced by cisplatin (DDP), an agent that causes both DNA damage and inhibition of DNA synthesis. Previous work has demonstrated that strains with defective or absent wee1+ function fail to arrest in G2 when DNA is damaged, but do arrest when DNA synthesis is inhibited (Rowley et al., 1992a, Nature, 356:353-355)....
