Checkpoint regulation of DNA replication.
We discuss the mechanisms regulating entry into and progression through S phase in eukaryotic cells. Methods to study the G1/S transition are briefly reviewed and an overview of G1/S-checkpoints is given, with particular emphasis on fission yeast. Thereafter we discuss different aspects of the intra-S checkpoint and introduce the main molecular players and mechanisms.
