Abstract excerpt
We demonstrate that there are at least two S-phase checkpoint mechanisms controlling mitosis in Aspergillus. The first responds to the rate of DNA replication and inhibits mitosis via tyrosine phosphorylation of p34cdc2. Cells unable to tyrosine phosphorylate p34cdc2 are therefore viable but are unable to tolerate low levels of hydroxyurea and prematurely enter lethal mitosis when S-phase is slowed. However, if...
