Abstract
The ATM and ATR protein kinases are important mediators of the cellular response to DNA damage. They regulate multiple cellular functions as part of a stress response programme, including the activation of cell-cycle checkpoints, DNA replication, DNA repair and DNA recombination. A provocative new study suggests that ATM and ATR also regulate normal DNA replication in unperturbed cells.
