Replication Fork-Associated Checkpoint Mediator Mrc1/Claspin Acts in Arrest-Independent Double-Strand Break Survival

Marissa Ashton, Elliot Busch, James E. Haber

The paper identifies Mrc1/Claspin as a novel regulator of DSB repair independent of the Mec1 checkpoint, showing it promotes DSB survival through end-tethering and limiting resection.

Prolonged Cell Cycle Arrest in Response to DNA damage in Yeast Requires the Maintenance of DNA Damage Signaling and the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

Felix Y. Zhou, David P. Waterman, Marissa Ashton, Suhaily Caban-Penix, Gönen Memişoğlu, Vinay V. Eapen, James E. Haber

This study shows that prolonged cell cycle arrest in yeast after DNA damage requires both DNA damage checkpoint (DDC) and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) proteins, with a handoff from DDC to SAC components after 15 hours.
