>TIGR00602 rad24 checkpoint protein rad24; InterPro: IPR004582 To be effective as a mechanism that preserves genomic integrity, the DNA damage checkpoint must be extremely sensitive in its ability to detect DNA damage. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the Ddc1/Rad17/Mec3 complex and Rad24 are DNA damage checkpoint components which may promote checkpoint activation by "sensing" DNA damage directly . Rad24 shares sequence homology with RF-c, a protein that recognises DNA template/RNA primer hybrids during DNA replication. The Ddc1 complex has structural homology to proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which clamps onto DNA and confers processivity to DNA polymerases delta and epsilon. Rad24 is postulated to recognise DNA lesions and then recruit the Ddc1 complex to generate checkpoint signals. ; GO: 0006281 DNA repair, 0007049 cell cycle, 0005634 nucleus.
