Replication fork dynamics and dynamic mutations: the fork-shift model of repeat instability.
Gene-specific repeat instability is responsible for >36 human diseases. Active instability varies in a tissue-, developmental stage- and locus-specific manner and occurs in both proliferative and non-proliferative cells. In proliferative cells, DNA replication can contribute to repeat instability either by switching the direction of replication, which changes the repeat sequence that serves as ...
متن کاملReplication Fork In Vitro
a preformed replication fork. The preformed replication fork consisted of a nicked, double-stranded, circular DNA molecule with a 5' single-strand tail that was noncomplementary to the template. The products of DNA synthesis on this substrate were rolling-circle molecules, as demonstrated by electron microscopy and alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis. The tails contained double-stranded region...
متن کاملSeparase prevents genomic instability by controlling replication fork speed
Proper chromosome segregation is crucial for preserving genomic integrity, and errors in this process cause chromosome mis-segregation, which may contribute to cancer development. Sister chromatid separation is triggered by Separase, an evolutionary conserved protease that cleaves the cohesin complex, allowing the dissolution of sister chromatid cohesion. Here we provide evidence that Separase ...
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 کاملPCNA, the Maestro of the Replication Fork
Inheritance requires genome duplication, reproduction of chromatin and its epigenetic information, mechanisms to ensure genome integrity, and faithful transmission of the information to progeny. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-a cofactor of DNA polymerases that encircles DNA-orchestrates several of these functions by recruiting crucial players to the replication fork. Remarkably, many...
