Cells defective for replication restart undergo replication fork reversal.
We have studied the fate of blocked replication forks with the use of the Escherichia coli priA mutant, in which spontaneously arrested replication forks persist owing to the lack of the major replication restart pathway. Such blocked forks undergo a specific reaction named replication fork reversal, in which newly synthesized strands anneal to form a DNA double-strand end adjacent to a four-wa...
متن کاملReplication Fork Reversal after Replication–Transcription Collision
Replication fork arrest is a recognized source of genetic instability, and transcription is one of the most prominent causes of replication impediment. We analyze here the requirement for recombination proteins in Escherichia coli when replication-transcription head-on collisions are induced at a specific site by the inversion of a highly expressed ribosomal operon (rrn). RecBC is the only reco...
متن کاملClearance of roadblocks in replication fork restart.
T o uphold genome stability, cells are armed with sophisticated mechanisms to promote timely and accurate duplication of the genome. For instance, stalling of the replication machinery upon encountering blockage, such as a bulky lesion, template DNA with a high tendency for forming secondary structures, or DNA-bound protein(s), ignites a DNA damage response (DDR). The DDR signaling cascade ulti...
متن کاملMUS81-EME2 Promotes Replication Fork Restart
Replication forks frequently stall at regions of the genome that are difficult to replicate or contain lesions that cause replication blockage. An important mechanism for the restart of a stalled fork involves endonucleolytic cleavage that can lead to fork restoration and replication progression. Here, we show that the structure-selective endonuclease MUS81-EME2 is responsible for fork cleavage...
متن کاملATR activation and replication fork restart are defective in FANCM-deficient cells.
Fanconi anaemia is a chromosomal instability disorder associated with cancer predisposition and bone marrow failure. Among the 13 identified FA gene products only one, the DNA translocase FANCM, has homologues in lower organisms, suggesting a conserved function in DNA metabolism. However, a precise role for FANCM in DNA repair remains elusive. Here, we show a novel function for FANCM that is di...
