Loss of Chk1 Function and Exogenous Expression of Cyclin A1/Cdk2 Results in Apoptosis after the MBT in Early Xenopus laevis Embryos

Early Xenopus laevis embryonic cell cycles exemplify rapid, non-pathological cell cycles without checkpoint pathways to arrest cell cycles in response to DNA assaults. There is no transcription or apoptosis during these cell cycles, and they continue unperturbed until the 12th cell cycle, marking a...
