Abstract excerpt
Members of the Cdc7 family of protein kinases are essential for the initiation of DNA replication in all eukaryotes, but their precise biochemical function is unclear. We have purified the fission yeast Cdc7 homologue Hsk1 approximately 30,000-fold, to near homogeneity. Purified Hsk1 has protein kinase activity on several substrates and is capable of autophosphorylation. Point mutations in highly conserved...
