A semipermissive growth condition was defined for aSchizosaccharomyces pombestrain carrying a thermosensitive allele of DNA polymerase δ (polδts03). Under this condition, DNA polymerase δ is semidisabled and causes a delay in S-phase progression. Using a genetic strategy, we have isolated a panel of mutants that enter premature mitosis when DNA replication is incomplete but which are not defective for arrest in G2/M following DNA damage. We characterized theaya14mutant, which enters premature mitosis when S phase is arrested by genetic or chemical means. However, this mutant is sensitive to neither UV nor gamma irradiation. Two genomic clones,rad26+andcds1+, were found to suppress the hydroxyurea sensitivity of theaya14mutant. Genetic analysis indicates thataya14is a novel allele of the cell cycle checkpoint generad26+, which we have namedrad26.a14. cds1+is a suppressor which suppresses the S-phase feedback control defect ofrad26.a14when S phase is inhibited by either hydroxyurea orcdc22, but it does not suppress the defect when S phase is arrested by a mutant DNA polymerase. Analyses ofrad26.a14in a variety of cdc mutant backgrounds indicate that strains containingrad26.a14bypass S-phase arrest but not G1or late S/G2arrest. A model of howRad26monitors S-phase progression to maintain the dependency of cell cycle events and coordinates with otherrad/huscheckpoint gene products in responding to radiation damage is proposed.
