Checkpoints take the next step
Article Abstract:
Researchers are identifying the biochemical mechanisms through which DNA damage is detected at checkpoints during the cell cycle. The Chk1 protein in yeast arrests mitotis when damage is detected. Rad53 appears to be part of the signal pathway to Chk1.
