The annealing helicase SMARCAL1 maintains genome integrity at stalled replication forks.
Mutations in SMARCAL1 (HARP) cause Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia (SIOD). The mechanistic basis for this disease is unknown. Using functional genomic screens, we identified SMARCAL1 as a genome maintenance protein. Silencing and overexpression of SMARCAL1 leads to activation of the DNA damage response during S phase in the absence of any genotoxic agent. SMARCAL1 contains a Replication protein...
متن کاملHistone H2B mono-ubiquitylation maintains genomic integrity at stalled replication forks
Histone modifications play an important role in regulating access to DNA for transcription, DNA repair and DNA replication. A central player in these events is the mono-ubiquitylation of histone H2B (H2Bub1), which has been shown to regulate nucleosome dynamics. Previously, it was shown that H2Bub1 was important for nucleosome assembly onto nascent DNA at active replication forks. In the absenc...
متن کاملThe RecQ DNA helicase Rqh1 constrains Exonuclease 1-dependent recombination at stalled replication forks
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) involves resection of the break to expose a 3' single-stranded DNA tail. In budding yeast, resection occurs in two steps: initial short-range resection, performed by Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 and Sae2; and long-range resection catalysed by either Exo1 or Sgs1-Dna2. Here we use genetic assays to investigate the importance of Exo1 and t...
متن کاملDNA polymerase stabilization at stalled replication forks requires Mec1 and the RecQ helicase Sgs1.
To ensure proper replication and segregation of the genome, eukaryotic cells have evolved surveillance systems that monitor and react to impaired replication fork progression. In budding yeast, the intra-S phase checkpoint responds to stalled replication forks by downregulating late-firing origins, preventing spindle elongation and allowing efficient resumption of DNA synthesis after recovery f...
متن کاملHUWE1 comes to the rescue at stalled replication forks.
HUWE1 is a multi-faceted E3 ubiquitin ligase of the HECT family with many confirmed substrates, but mechanistic understanding of its functional roles in signaling pathways remains limited. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Choe et al demonstrate a novel function for HUWE1 in promoting DNA damage tolerance mechanisms to bypass DNA lesions during replication stress, thereby preserving genome stabili...
