Journal ArticleDOI

The complete DNA sequence of yeast chromosome III.

Stephen G. Oliver, +146 more
- 07 May 1992 - 
TL;DR: The entire DNA sequence of chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined, which is the first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DNA replication checkpoint response stabilizes stalled replication forks

TL;DR: It is shown that hydroxyurea-treated rad53 mutants accumulate unusual DNA structures at replication forks, and it is proposed that Rad53 prevents collapse of the fork when replication pauses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of Rad53 kinase in response to DNA damage and its effect in modulating phosphorylation of the lagging strand DNA polymerase

TL;DR: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad53 protein kinase is required for the execution of checkpoint arrest at multiple stages of the cell cycle and autophosphorylation activity depends on in trans phosphorylation mediated by Mec1 and does not require physical association with other proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The B subunit of the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae executes an essential function at the initial stage of DNA replication.

TL;DR: The characterization of the temperature-sensitive pol12-T9 mutant allele demonstrates that the B subunit is required for in vivo DNA synthesis and correct progression through S phase, and reciprocal shift experiments indicate that the POL12 gene product plays an essential role at the early stage of chromosomal DNA replication, before the hydroxyurea-sensitive step.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DNA Damage Checkpoint Response Requires Histone H2B Ubiquitination by Rad6-Bre1 and H3 Methylation by Dot1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ubiquitination of histone H2B on lysine 123 by the Rad6-Bre1 complex, is necessary for activation of Rad53 kinase and cell cycle arrest and results suggest that histone modifications may have a role in checkpoint function by modulating the interactions of Rad9 with chromatin and active Mec1 kinase.
