Mcr1

MCR1 is a gene found in yeast. It is used to understand cell cycle checkpoints.[1] Researchers are working to find a way to use this gene to create anti-cancer drugs.[1]

This article is about the yeast gene. For the antibiotic resistance mechanism, see MCR-1.

Function

The most common function is found during the cell cycle when mutations occur because it becomes activated without phosphorylation and turns on Cds1.[2] It also works with Cdk1 to get rid of the mutations that occur. If MCR 1 is not present in the cell these check points do not work properly.[1]

gollark: They don't list unbreedables other than chicken/dino. Which I have none of.
gollark: The perils of the infinite money tree...
gollark: They could be stunned.
gollark: Well, if I get a big enough pile, I can trade random copper-level stuff -> silvers -> golds.
gollark: Well, CB green coppers are more common than golds. If someone can't get a green copper for (roughly) the stuff I have, it'll be quite hard to add enough to get a gold.
