The conserved PIK-related kinase Rad3 is required for all DNA-integrity-checkpoint responses in fission yeast. Here we report a stable association between Rad3 and Rad26 in soluble protein extracts. Rad26 shows Rad3-dependent phosphorylation after DNA damage. Unlike phosphorylation of Hus1, Crb2/Rhp9, Cds1 and Chk1, phosphorylation of Rad26 does not require other known checkpoint proteins. Rad26 phosphorylation is the first biochemical marker of Rad3 function, indicating that Rad3-related checkpoint kinases may have a direct role in DNA-damage recognition.
保守的PIK相关激酶Rad3是裂殖酵母中所有DNA完整性检查点反应所必需的。在此,我们报道了在可溶性蛋白提取物中Rad3与Rad26之间存在稳定的关联。DNA损伤后,Rad26显示出依赖于Rad3的磷酸化。与Hus1、Crb2/Rhp9、Cds1和Chk1的磷酸化不同,Rad26的磷酸化不需要其他已知的检查点蛋白。Rad26磷酸化是Rad3功能的首个生化标志物,表明Rad3相关的检查点激酶可能在DNA损伤识别中具有直接作用。
