Replication checkpoint: Preventing mitotic catastrophe
نویسنده
چکیده
A conserved network of signal transduction pathways prevents mitosis if DNA is damaged or its synthesis incomplete. Loss of this checkpoint control is detrimental to the developing embryo. Recent studies have shed new light on how the essential ATR and Chk1 protein kinases cooperate to prevent such a crisis.

متن کاملDNA Damage and Cellular Stress Responses Inhibition of Eg5 Acts Synergistically with Checkpoint Abrogation in Promoting Mitotic Catastrophe
The G2 DNA damage checkpoint is activated by genotoxic agents and is particularly important for cancer therapies. Overriding the checkpoint can trigger precocious entry into mitosis, causing cells to undergo mitotic catastrophe. But some checkpoint-abrogated cells can remain viable and progress into G1 phase, which may contribute to further genome instability. Our previous studies reveal that t...

متن کاملDeterminants of mitotic catastrophe on abrogation of the G2 DNA damage checkpoint by UCN-01.
Genotoxic stress such as ionizing radiation halts entry into mitosis by activation of the G(2) DNA damage checkpoint. The CHK1 inhibitor 7-hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01) can bypass the checkpoint and induce unscheduled mitosis in irradiated cells. Precisely, how cells behave following checkpoint abrogation remains to be defined. In this study, we tracked the fates of individual cells after check...
