ATR kinase inhibition induces unscheduled origin firing through a Cdc7-dependent association between GINS and And-1

ATR kinase activity is essential for slowing replication forks and preventing DNA replication in cells with DNA damage. Here the authors show that ATR inhibition leads to Cdc7 phosphorylation of GINS, leading to origin firing.
