Abstract

The checkpoint Rad proteins form a key intracellular signalling mechanism which acts to ensure the maintenance of genome stability, co-ordinating DNA structure alterations with the control of cell division. Here it is proposed to initiate a detailed functional investigation of complex formation between this group of proteins. This work will involve identification of specific complexes and kinetic analysis of complex formation using polyhistidine tagged, in vitro synthesised protein. In parallel we will initiate structural studies of the individual components utilising both X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
