Conjugation, meiosis, and the osmotic stress response are regulated by Spc1 kinase through Atf1 transcription factor in fission yeast.
The stress-activated Wis1-Spc1 protein kinase cascade links mitotic control with environmental signals in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Fission yeast spc1- mutants are delayed in G2 during normal growth… Expand

Mre11 Dimers Coordinate DNA End Bridging and Nuclease Processing in Double-Strand-Break Repair
Mre11 forms the core of the multifunctional Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex that detects DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), activates the ATM checkpoint kinase, and initiates homologous recombination… Expand

Mus81-Eme1 Are Essential Components of a Holliday Junction Resolvase
Mus81, a fission yeast protein related to the XPF subunit of ERCC1-XPF nucleotide excision repair endonuclease, is essential for meiosis and important for coping with stalled replication forks. These… Expand

Cell-cycle control linked to extracellular environment by MAP kinase pathway in fission yeast
IN fission yeast the onset of mitosis is brought about by Cdc2/ Cdcl3 kinase, which is inhibited by the Weel/Mikl tyrosine kin-ases and activated by Cdc25 tyrosine phosphatase1. This control network… Expand

Human SLX4 Is a Holliday Junction Resolvase Subunit that Binds Multiple DNA Repair/Recombination Endonucleases
Structure-specific endonucleases resolve DNA secondary structures generated during DNA repair and recombination. The yeast 5' flap endonuclease Slx1-Slx4 has received particular attention with the… Expand

ATM Activation and Its Recruitment to Damaged DNA Require Binding to the C Terminus of Nbs1
ABSTRACT ATM has a central role in controlling the cellular responses to DNA damage. It and other phosphoinositide 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs) have giant helical HEAT repeat domains in their… Expand

Ctp1 is a cell-cycle-regulated protein that functions with Mre11 complex to control double-strand break repair by homologous recombination.
The Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex is a primary sensor of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Upon recruitment to DSBs, it plays a critical role in catalyzing 5' --> 3' single-strand resection that is… Expand

Negative regulation of mitosis by wee1+, a gene encoding a protein kinase homolog
Fission yeast wee1- mutants initiate mitosis at half the cell size of wild type. The wee1+ activity is required to prevent lethal premature mitosis in cells that overproduce the mitotic inducer… Expand

Damage Tolerance Protein Mus81 Associates with the FHA1 Domain of Checkpoint Kinase Cds1
ABSTRACT Cds1, a serine/threonine kinase, enforces the S-M checkpoint in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Cds1 is required for survival of replicational stress caused by agents that stall… Expand

Cdc25 mitotic inducer targeted by chk1 DNA damage checkpoint kinase.
Arrest of the cell cycle at the G2 checkpoint, induced by DNA damage, requires inhibitory phosphorylation of the kinase Cdc2 in both fission yeast and human cells. The kinase Wee1 and the phosphatase… Expand
