Mitotic catastrophe provokes endopolyploidy, giant cell formation and, eventually, delayed cell death. Mitotic catastrophe is induced by defective cell cycle checkpoints and by some anticancer drugs, ionizing radiation and microtubule-destabilizing agents. RAD2 is a yeast homologue of XPG, which is a human endonuclease involved in nucleotide excision repair. Here we show that Rad2p overexpression alone, in the absence of extrinsic DNA damage, causes cell growth arrest and mitotic catastrophe. Interestingly, Rad2p-induced cell growth arrest is not caused by the catalytic activity of Rad2p but rather by its C-terminal region. Cells growth-arrested by Rad2p induction do not show apoptotic phenotypes and deletion of YCA1, a yeast caspase homologue, does not affect cell growth arrest by Rad2p induction. However, Rad2p-induced cell growth arrest is released by rad9 deletion but is not affected by downstream DNA damage checkpoint genes. These observations suggest that RAD2 has a function in coordinating cell cycle regulation and damaged DNA repair.

D015870 Gene Expression The phenotypic manifestation of a gene or genes by the processes of GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION and GENETIC TRANSLATION. Expression, Gene,Expressions, Gene,Gene Expressions
D017353 Gene Deletion A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. Deletion, Gene,Deletions, Gene,Gene Deletions
D018797 Cell Cycle Proteins Proteins that control the CELL DIVISION CYCLE. This family of proteins includes a wide variety of classes, including CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES, mitogen-activated kinases, CYCLINS, and PHOSPHOPROTEIN PHOSPHATASES as well as their putative substrates such as chromatin-associated proteins, CYTOSKELETAL PROTEINS, and TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS. Cell Division Cycle Proteins,Cell-Cycle Regulatory Proteins,cdc Proteins,Cell Cycle Regulatory Proteins
D020169 Caspases A family of intracellular CYSTEINE ENDOPEPTIDASES that play a role in regulating INFLAMMATION and APOPTOSIS. They specifically cleave peptides at a CYSTEINE amino acid that follows an ASPARTIC ACID residue. Caspases are activated by proteolytic cleavage of a precursor form to yield large and small subunits that form the enzyme. Since the cleavage site within precursors matches the specificity of caspases, sequential activation of precursors by activated caspases can occur. Caspase
D029701 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins Proteins obtained from the species SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE. The function of specific proteins from this organism are the subject of intense scientific interest and have been used to derive basic understanding of the functioning similar proteins in higher eukaryotes. Baker's Yeast Proteins,S cerevisiae Proteins
