'Checkpoint' controls ensure that the events of the cell cycle are completed in an orderly fashion. For example, such controls delay mitosis until DNA synthesis and repair of radiation-induced DNA damage are complete. The rad series of radiosensitive fission yeast mutants was examined to identify strains deficient for the DNA damage-responsive checkpoint control. Five were identified. A characterization of one (rad1-1) and the wild-type is presented. The rad1-1 mutant does not arrest after irradiation, is sensitive to killing by radiation and is not arrested by hydroxyurea, and thus is also deficient for the DNA synthesis-responsive checkpoint control. The radiosensitivity of the rad1-1 mutant was greatly reduced when irradiated and maintained for 6 h in a non-dividing (density inhibited) state, demonstrating that rad1-1 is repair proficient and radiosensitive only through failure to delay. The checkpoint controls for which rad1 is required appear to regulate G2-M progression through the activity of cdc2, here implicated in this role by the coincidence of the radiation transition point and the cdc2 execution point.
