The DNA replication checkpoint prevents PCNA/RFC depletion to protect forks from HLTF-induced collapse in human cells
26 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
The DNA replication checkpoint is crucial for maintaining genome stability after genotoxic stress; without it, stalled DNA replication forks cannot restart normally, excess DNA replication origins are activated, DNA damage and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulate, S phase does not finish, and cells die. Preventing excess origin firing suppresses all these effects. Here, we show in human cells that when...
