What's a GeneRIF?

Inhibition of Drf1 is the primary mechanism by which Chk1 blocks cell-cycle progression in the early embryo and is an essential function of Chk1 at the blastula-to-gastrula stage of development.
Title: Chk1 Inhibition of the Replication Factor Drf1 Guarantees Cell-Cycle Elongation at the Xenopus laevis Mid-blastula Transition.
The study analyzes the role of Chk1 in the replication program in sperm nuclei replicating in Xenopus egg extracts by a combination of experimental and modelling approaches.
Title: Tight Chk1 Levels Control Replication Cluster Activation in Xenopus.
ATR-Chk1 DDR pathway appears to be dispensable for the preferential association of REV1 to MMC-damaged chromatin.
Title: REV1 is important for the ATR-Chk1 DNA damage response pathway in Xenopus egg extracts.
Results show that Chk1 negatively regulates the Treslin-mediated loading of Cdc45 onto chromatin and thereby serves to antagonize the initiation of replication.
Title: Interaction of Chk1 with Treslin negatively regulates the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication.
The MRN complex, in particular the nuclease activity of Mre11, plays an important role in the activation of Chk1 in response to stalled replication forks.
Title: The Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex has a specific role in the activation of Chk1 in response to stalled replication forks.
DNA polymerase kappa-dependent DNA synthesis at stalled replication forks is important for CHK1 activation.
Title: DNA polymerase κ-dependent DNA synthesis at stalled replication forks is important for CHK1 activation.
APE2 associates with Chk1; a serine residue (S86) in the Chk1-binding motif of APE2 is essential for Chk1 phosphorylation, indicating a Claspin-like but distinct role for APE2 in ATR-Chk1 signaling.
Title: APE2 is required for ATR-Chk1 checkpoint activation in response to oxidative stress.
Data show that the death pathway is independent of ERK but relies on activating Bad phosphorylation through the control of both kinases Cdk1 and JNK.
Title: Unfertilized Xenopus eggs die by Bad-dependent apoptosis under the control of Cdk1 and JNK.
Findings reveal that XH2AX has a specific role in anterior neural formation of Xenopus, which is mediated through phosphorylation of XH2AX at Thr(16) by Chk1.
Title: Histone XH2AX is required for Xenopus anterior neural development: critical role of threonine 16 phosphorylation.
Chk1 is activated at the midblastula transition in Xenopus laevis embryos independently of DNA content and the cyclin E/Cdk2 developmental timer.
Title: Chk1 is activated at the midblastula transition in Xenopus laevis embryos independently of DNA content and the cyclin E/Cdk2 developmental timer.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
