DNA replication is required for the checkpoint response to damaged DNA in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]

, 2002
Alkylating agents, such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), damage DNA and activate the DNA damage checkpoint. Although many of the checkpoint proteins that transduce damage signals have been identified and characterized, the mechanism that senses the ...

Reconstitution of a eukaryotic replisome reveals suppression mechanisms that define leading/lagging strand operation

eLife, 2015
We have reconstituted a eukaryotic leading/lagging strand replisome comprising 31 distinct polypeptides. This study identifies a process unprecedented in bacterial replisomes.

Reversal of terminal differentiation and control of DNA replication [PDF]

, 1993
DNA replication in mammalian cells occurs in discrete nuclear foci. Here we show that terminally differentiated myotubes can be induced to reenter S phase and show the same pattern of replication foci as cycling cells.

Molecular choreography of primer synthesis by the eukaryotic Pol α-primase

Nature Communications, 2023
The eukaryotic polymerase α (Pol α) synthesizes an RNA-DNA hybrid primer of 20–30 nucleotides. Pol α is composed of Pol1, Pol12, Primase 1 (Pri1), and Pri2. Pol1 and Pri1 contain the DNA polymerase and RNA primase activities, respectively.

Robust Replication Control Is Generated by Temporal Gaps between Licensing and Firing Phases and Depends on Degradation of Firing Factor Sld2

Cell Reports, 2016
Temporal separation of DNA replication initiation into licensing and firing phases ensures the precise duplication of the genome during each cell cycle.

The DNA helicase Pfh1 promotes fork merging at replication termination sites to ensure genome stability [PDF]

, 2012
Bidirectionally moving DNA replication forks merge at termination sites composed of accidental or programmed DNA-protein barriers. If merging fails, then regions of unreplicated DNA can result in the breakage of DNA during mitosis, which in turn can give

Implementing fluorescence enhancement, quenching, and FRET for investigating flap endonuclease 1 enzymatic reaction at the single-molecule level

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is an important component of the intricate molecular machinery for DNA replication and repair. FEN1 is a structure-specific 5′ nuclease that cleaves nascent single-stranded 5′ flaps during the maturation of Okazaki fragments ...

Ultrafine anaphase bridges, broken DNA and illegitimate recombination induced by a replication fork barrier [PDF]

, 2011
Most DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in S- and G2-phase cells are repaired accurately by Rad51-dependent sister chromatid recombination. However, a minority give rise to gross chromosome rearrangements (GCRs), which can result in disease/death.
