The CDK-activating kinase (CAK) Csk1 is required for normal levels of homologous recombination and resistance to DNA damage in fission yeast.

BACKGROUND: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) perform essential roles in cell division and gene expression in all eukaryotes. The requirement for an upstream CDK-activating kinase (CAK) is also universally conserved, but the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe appears to be unique in having two CA...
