chk1- and wat1-null mutants exhibit conditional synthetic lethality.
Title: Activation of Checkpoint Kinase Chk1 by Reactive Oxygen Species Resulting from Disruption of wat1/pop3 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The isolation of a mutant allele of rna14 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been reported that exhibits reduction in protein level of Chk1 at the nonpermissive temperature, primarily due to the defects in posttranscriptional processing.
Title: Mutant allele of rna14 in fission yeast affects pre-mRNA splicing.
Rad4 mainly functions as a scaffold protein in the Chk1, not the Cds1(CHK2 in humans), checkpoint pathway. It plays a minor role or is functionally redundant with an unknown factor in Rad3 activation.
Title: Rad4 mainly functions in Chk1-mediated DNA damage checkpoint pathway as a scaffold protein in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The combination of wat1-17 with the chk1 deletion aggravates the defects in the maintenance of fungal genome ploidy.
Title: Wat1/pop3, a conserved WD repeat containing protein acts synergistically with checkpoint kinase Chk1 to maintain genome ploidy in fission yeast S. pombe.
study describes an analysis of a kinase-associated 1 domain in the C-terminus of Chk1, plus an additional highly conserved motif present in an unique C-terminal extension, both of which are required for Chk1 activation; presence of these motifs provides a rationale as to the dual nature of the regulatory domain
Title: Regulatory motifs in Chk1.
These results suggest that the main role of Crb2 in DNA damage checkpoint signaling is recruiting Chk1 to sites of DNA lesions.
Title: Phosphorylation-dependent interactions between Crb2 and Chk1 are essential for DNA damage checkpoint.
Rather than being an autoinhibitory domain, the C-terminus of Chk1 also contains domains critical for adopting an active configuration.
Title: Regulation of Chk1 by its C-terminal domain.
C-terminal region of Chk1 is important for checkpoint function and predict that a limiting factor capable of associating with Chk1D469G, but not Chk1D469A, interacts with Chk1 to elicit checkpoint activation in response to a subset of DNA lesions
Title: Importance of a C-terminal conserved region of Chk1 for checkpoint function.
Chk1 DNA damage pathway induces sustained activation of the spindle checkpoint
Title: The fission yeast Crb2/Chk1 pathway coordinates the DNA damage and spindle checkpoint in response to replication stress induced by topoisomerase I inhibitor.
