Cell cycle arrest of cdc mutants and specificity of the RAD9 checkpoint.
Genetics - 1 May 1993
Weinert T A, Hartwell L H
Abstract excerpt
In eucaryotes a cell cycle control called a checkpoint ensures that mitosis occurs only after chromosomes are completely replicated and any damage is repaired. The function of this checkpoint in budding yeast requires the RAD9 gene. Here we examine the role of the RAD9 gene in the arrest of the 12 cell division cycle (cdc) mutants, temperature-sensitive lethal mutants that arrest in specific phases of the cell...
