Abstract

A topoisomerase II (Topo II)-dependent G2/M checkpoint is defined in a genetically amenable eukaryote, budding yeast, and it is demonstrated that this checkpoint enhances cell survival. Neither DNA damage-responsive pathways nor Pds1/securin are needed for this checkpoint, and compromised Topo II function activates a yeast checkpoint system that operates by a novel mechanism.
