Dynamic binding of replication protein a is required for DNA repair
Replication protein A (RPA), the major eukaryotic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein, is essential for replication, repair and recombination. High-affinity ssDNA-binding by RPA depends on two DNA binding domains in the large subunit of RPA. Mutation of the evolutionarily conserved aromatic residues in these two domains results in a separation-of-function phenotype: aromatic residue mut...
متن کاملXenopus ATR is a replication-dependent chromatin-binding protein required for the DNA replication checkpoint
BACKGROUND The DNA replication checkpoint ensures that mitosis is not initiated before DNA synthesis is completed. Recent studies using Xenopus extracts have demonstrated that activation of the replication checkpoint and phosphorylation of the Chk1 kinase are dependent on RNA primer synthesis by DNA polymerase alpha, and it has been suggested that the ATR kinase-so-called because it is related ...
متن کاملProtein Kinase A is required for chromosomal DNA replication
Passage through mitosis resets cells for a new round of chromosomal DNA replication [1]. In late mitosis, the pre-replication complex - which includes the origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6 and the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins - binds chromatin as a pre-requisite for DNA replication. S-phase-promoting cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and the kinase Dbf4-Cdc7 then act to initiate...
متن کاملHuman single-stranded DNA binding protein 1 (hSSB1/NABP2) is required for the stability and repair of stalled replication forks
Aberrant DNA replication is a primary cause of mutations that are associated with pathological disorders including cancer. During DNA metabolism, the primary causes of replication fork stalling include secondary DNA structures, highly transcribed regions and damaged DNA. The restart of stalled replication forks is critical for the timely progression of the cell cycle and ultimately for the main...
متن کاملCohesin SA2 is a sequence-independent DNA-binding protein that recognizes DNA replication and repair intermediates.
Proper chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis depend on cohesion between sister chromatids, mediated by the cohesin protein complex, which also plays crucial roles in diverse genome maintenance pathways. Current models attribute DNA binding by cohesin to entrapment of dsDNA by the cohesin ring subunits (SMC1, SMC3, and RAD21 in humans). However, the biophysical properties and activ...
