The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene MEC1 represents a structural homolog of the human gene ATM mutated in ataxia telangiectasia patients. Like human ataxia telangiectasia cell lines, mec1 mutants are defective in G2 and S-phase cell cycle checkpoints in response to radiation treatment. Here we show an additional defect in G1 arrest following treatment with UV light or gamma rays and map a defective arrest stage at or upstream of START in the yeast cell cycle.
酿酒酵母基因MEC1代表共济失调毛细血管扩张症患者中发生突变的人类基因ATM的结构同源物。与人类共济失调毛细血管扩张症细胞系一样,mec1突变体在接受放射治疗后,G2和S期细胞周期检查点存在缺陷。在此我们发现,经紫外线或γ射线处理后,mec1突变体在G1期停滞方面还存在缺陷,并将酵母细胞周期中存在缺陷的停滞阶段定位在START点或其上游。
