C. elegans Telomeres Contain G-Strand and C-Strand Overhangs that Are Bound by Distinct Proteins
Single-strand extensions of the G strand of telomeres are known to be critical for chromosome-end protection and length regulation. Here, we report that in C. elegans, chromosome termini possess 3' G-strand overhangs as well as 5' C-strand overhangs. C tails are as abundant as G tails and are generated by a well-regulated process. These two classes of overhangs are bound by two single-stranded ...
متن کاملReplication Fork Progression during Re-replication Requires the DNA Damage Checkpoint and Double-Strand Break Repair
Replication origins are under tight regulation to ensure activation occurs only once per cell cycle [1, 2]. Origin re-firing in a single S phase leads to the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and activation of the DNA damage checkpoint [2-7]. If the checkpoint is blocked, cells enter mitosis with partially re-replicated DNA that generates chromosome breaks and fusions [5]. These typ...
متن کاملPreserving the Replication Fork in Response to Nucleotide Starvation: Evading the Replication Fork Collapse Point
Replication fork progression is blocked by a variety impediments including DNA damage, aberrant DNA structures, or nucleotide depletion [1-3]. The response to replication fork stalling varies according the type of replication inhibition, the number of stalled forks and the duration of the treatment [3-7]. Stalled replication forks are at increased risk for DNA damage, which can lead to mutation...
متن کاملDifferent genetic requirements for repair of replication-born double-strand breaks by sister-chromatid recombination and break-induced replication
Homologous recombination (HR) is the major mechanism used to repair double-strand breaks (DSBs) that result from replication, but a study of repair of DSBs specifically induced during S-phase is lacking. Using an inverted-repeat assay in which a DSB is generated by the encountering of the replication fork with nicks, we can physically detect repair by sister-chromatid recombination (SCR) and in...
متن کاملDouble strand break-induced recombination in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplasts.
The mechanisms of chloroplast recombination are largely unknown. Using the chloroplast-encoded homing endonuclease I-CreI from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, an experimental system is described that allows the study of double strand break (DSB)-induced recombination in chloroplasts. The I-CreI endonuclease is encoded by the chloroplast ribosomal group I intron of C.reinhardtii and cleaves specifica...
