Causes and consequences of replication stress

Abstract

Replication stress is a complex phenomenon that has serious implications for genome stability, cell survival and human disease. Generation of aberrant replication fork structures containing single-stranded DNA activates the replication stress response, primarily mediated by the kinase ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related). Along with its downstream effectors, ATR stabilizes and helps to restart stalled replication forks, avoiding the generation of DNA damage and genome instability. Understanding this response may be key to diagnosing and treating human diseases caused by defective responses to replication stress.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • UV-induced CPDs and 6-4 PPs block replication and transcription, producing single-stranded DNA stretches that become coated with RPA.

    “The resulting replicative and transcriptional stresses stall DNA polymerization during replication and pol II progression in RNA synthesis11, 12, respectively, leading to an accumulation of stretches of single-strand DNA (ssDNA), which become coated with the ssDNA-binding replication protein A (RPA) 26.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
