(A) Checkpoint-kinase-dependent genes with peak expression in G1 phase are upregulated in response to MMS treatment, whereas genes with peak expression in S, G2, and M phases are downregulated. Graph shows p values for enrichment of genes reported to have peak expression at different stages of the cell cycle (Spellman et al., 1998) among the upregulated and downregulated sets of Rad53-dependent genes.
(B) Applying the same enrichment analysis for cell-cycle-specific expression to Rad53-dependent genes that are predicted targets of the TFs shown in Figure 3C reveals that upregulated targets of Mbp1, Swi4, Swi6, Fkh2, and Ndd1 are enriched for G1 genes, downregulated targets of Fkh2 are enriched for S/G2 genes, and downregulated targets of Swi4, Swi6, Fkh2, Mcm1, and Ndd1 are enriched for G2/M genes (Table S9).
