Mechanism of cancer cell death induced by depletion of an essential replication regulator.

BACKGROUND: Depletion of replication factors often causes cell death in cancer cells. Depletion of Cdc7, a kinase essential for initiation of DNA replication, induces cancer cell death regardless of its p53 status, but the precise pathways of cell death induction have not been characterized. METHODO...
