Multiple pathways process stalled replication forks.
Impairment of replication fork progression is a serious threat to living organisms and a potential source of genome instability. Studies in prokaryotes have provided evidence that inactivated replication forks can restart by the reassembly of the replication machinery. Several strategies for the processing of inactivated replication forks before replisome reassembly have been described. Most of...
متن کاملDeletions at stalled replication forks occur by two different pathways.
Replication blockage induces non-homologous deletions in Escherichia coli. The mechanism of the formation of these deletions was investigated. A pBR322-mini-oriC hybrid plasmid carrying two E. coli replication terminators (Ter sites) in opposite orientations was used. Deletions which remove at least the pBR322 blocking site (named Ter1) occurred at a frequency of 2 x 10(-6) per generation. They...
متن کاملRecG regresses stalled DNA replication forks
RecG and RuvAB are proposed to act at stalled DNA replication forks to facilitate replication restart. To clarify the roles of these proteins in fork regression, we used a coupled spectrophotometric ATPase assay to determine how these helicases act on two groups of model fork substrates: the first group mimics nascent stalled forks while the second mimics regressed fork structures. The results ...
متن کاملDNA Replication: Pif1 Pulls the Plug on Stalled Replication Forks
The conserved PIF helicase family appears to function in replication to ensure termination and passage through regions that slow or arrest replication fork movement. Findings in fission yeast extend evidence from budding yeast, and argue for universal mechanisms that ensure replication integrity.
متن کاملIno80 Chromatin Remodeling Complex Promotes Recovery of Stalled Replication Forks
BACKGROUND Chromatin remodeling complexes facilitate the access of enzymes that mediate transcription, replication or repair of DNA by modulating nucleosome position and/or composition. Ino80 is the DNA-dependent Snf2-like ATPase subunit of a complex whose nucleosome remodeling activity requires actin-related proteins, Arp4, Arp5 and Arp8, as well as two RuvB-like DNA helicase subunits. Budding...
