RAD9-dependent G1 arrest defines a second checkpoint for damaged DNA in the cell cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract: Exposure of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ultraviolet (UV) light, the UV-mimetic chemical 4-nitroquinoline-l-oxide (4NQO), or yradiation after release from G, arrest induced by a factor results in delayed resumption of the cell cycle. As is the case with G2 arrest following ionizing radiation damage (Weinert, T. A. & Hartwell, L. H. (1988) Science 241, 317-3221, the normal execution of DNA damageinduced G, arrest depends on a functional yeast RAD9 gene.We suggest that the RAD9 gene product may interact… Show more

“…Thus, it seems unlikely that every origin in the cell could be directly down-regulated by a cis-acting structural hindrance to initiation. We consider it more likely that this regulatory mechanism(s) involves a trans-acting signal transduction pathway(s), and compelling evidence for this proposal has been obtained (35)(36)(37). In combination with data showing that the repair machinery is activated immediately after DNA damage (29,30), we propose that this G 1 ͞S checkpoint may represent a major control mechanism connecting the replication machinery with damage-sensing and repair pathways.…”

“…However, there are precedents for both types of checkpoints in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One operates at START in mid-G 1 and is apparently mediated by the RAD9 gene product (37,38). A second checkpoint functions near the G 1 ͞S transition and acts between the cell cycle steps effected by the DBF4 and CDC7 gene products (36,37).…”

“…These include RAD9,RAD17,RAD24,and MEC3, which are required for cell-cycle arrest in G~ (Siede et al 1993 or G2 Hartwell 1988, 1993;Weinert et al 1994) in response to DNA damage; MEC1/ SAD3/ESR1 and RAD53/SAD1/MEC2/SPK1, which are required for the S-phase checkpoint, the transcriptional response, and G1 and G2 arrest (Allen et al 1994;Kato and Ogawa 1994;Weinert et al 1994); POL2/DUN2, which is required for the S-phase checkpoint (Navas et al 1995); and DUN1, which encodes a protein kinase that is activated in response to DNA damage and is necessary for the transcriptional response . MEC1 and RAD53 are central transducers of the signal.…”
