From DNA damage to cell cycle arrest and suicide: a budding yeast perspective.
Eukaryotic checkpoint control genes are important for cell cycle delay, DNA repair and cell suicide after DNA is damaged. Recent studies in budding yeast show how the participation of checkpoint control proteins in DNA metabolism could lead to all three of these outcomes.
