DNA damage caused by many factors may lead to missense mutation, deletion or illegal recombination. To maintain genomic integrity, cells have evolved complex surveillance mechanisms termed cell cycle checkpoint. DNA damage checkpoint composed of various checkpoint-related proteins can sense DNA damage and execute cell cycle arrest through different signaling transduction pathway involving protein kinase cascades, thereby allowing time for cells to repair the damaged DNA.
