The DNA damage checkpoint response delays cell cycle progression upon DNA damage and prevents genomic instability. Genetic analysis has identified sensor, mediator, signal transducer, and effector components of this global signal transduction pathway. Here we describe an in vitro system with purified human checkpoint proteins that recapitulates key elements of the DNA damage checkpoint. We show that the damage sensor ATR in the presence of topoisomerase 11 binding protein 1 (TopBP1) mediator/adaptor protein phosphorylates the Chk1 signal-transducing kinase in a reaction that is strongly dependent on the presence of DNA containing bulky base lesions. The dependence on damaged DNA requires DNA binding by TopBP1, and, indeed, TopBP1 shows preferential binding to damaged DNA. This in vitro system provides a useful platform for mechanistic studies of the human DNA damage checkpoint response.
