Replication stress: from chromatin to immunity and beyond.

TL;DR: A review of the causes and consequences of replication stress in cancer cells can be found in this article, with a focus on endogenous replication impediments and their impact on fork velocity and the interplay between stalled forks and innate immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Emerging Roles of Rad51 in Cancer and Its Potential as a Therapeutic Target

TL;DR: The structure, expression pattern of Rad 51 and key Rad51 mediators involved in homologous recombination are introduced and the role of Rad51 in tumor metabolism, metastasis, resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oligomerization of DNA replication regulatory protein RADX is essential to maintain replication fork stability

TL;DR: Cortez et al. as discussed by the authors found that RADX acts as a homo-oligomer to control replication fork stability and that mutations in this region prevent oligomerization and prevent RADX function in cells, and that addition of a heterologous dimerization domain to the oligomerisation mutants restored their ability to regulate replication.

Non-Recombinogenic Functions of Rad51, BRCA2, and Rad52 in DNA Damage Tolerance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent advances showing that Rad51, BRCA2, and Rad52 perform some of these functions through mechanisms that do not require the strand exchange activity of Rad51: the formation and protection of reversed fork structures aimed to bypass blocking lesions, and the promotion of TLS.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAD51 bypasses the CMG helicase to promote replication fork reversal

TL;DR: Jiang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that fork reversal happens while maintaining the helicase in a position poised to restart DNA synthesis and complete genome duplication, which can explain how reversal helps cells tolerate replication stress and rapidly resume DNA synthesis.

Double-strand break repair-independent role for BRCA2 in blocking stalled replication fork degradation by MRE11

TL;DR: Using single-molecule DNA fiber analysis, it is shown that nascent replication tracts created before fork stalling with hydroxyurea are degraded in the absence of BRCA2 but are stable in wild-type cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA processing is not required for ATM-mediated telomere damage response after TRF2 deletion.

TL;DR: Activation of the ATM kinase pathway at chromosome ends does not require overhang degradation or other overt DNA processing, and telomere structure after conditional deletion of mouse TRF2, the protective factor at telomeres is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rad51-mediated replication fork reversal is a global response to genotoxic treatments in human cells

TL;DR: Genotoxic treatments in human cells consistently induce uncoupling of replication forks and their remodeling into four-way junctions by the RAD51 recombinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rad51 protects nascent DNA from Mre11-dependent degradation and promotes continuous DNA synthesis

TL;DR: Direct roles for Rad51 at replication forks are revealed, demonstrating that Rad51 protects newly synthesized DNA from Mre11-dependent degradation and promotes continuous DNA synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A forward chemical genetic screen reveals an inhibitor of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex

TL;DR: It is shown that mirin abolishes the G2/M checkpoint and homology-dependent repair in mammalian cells, and it inhibits Mre11-associated exonuclease activity, consistent with its ability to target the MRN complex.
