We have isolated S-phase arrest-defective {sad) mutants that show lethality in the presence of the DN A synthesis inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU). Several of these mutants show phenotypes consistent with inappropriate mitotic entry in the presence of unreplicated DNA, indicating a defect in the S-phase checkpoint, sadl mutants are additionally defective for the G^ and Gj DN A damage checkpoints, and for DN A damage-induced transcription of RNR2 and RNR3. The transcriptional response to DN A damage requires activation of the Dun l protein kinase. Activation of Dun l in response to replication blocks or DN A damage is blocked in sadl mutants.
