Abstract

Upon DNA damage, replication is inhibited by the S-phase checkpoint. ATR (ataxia telangiectasia mutated- and Rad3-related) is specifically involved in the inhibition of replicon initiation when cells are treated with DNA damage-inducing agents that stall replication forks, but the mechanism by which it acts to prevent replication is not yet fully understood. We observed that RPA2 is phosphorylated on chromatin in an ATR-dependent manner when replication forks are stalled. Mutation of the ATR-dependent phosphorylation sites in RPA2 leads to a defect in the down-regulation of DNA synthesis following treatment with UV radiation, although ATR activation is not affected. Threonine 21 and serine 33, two residues among several phosphorylation sites in the amino terminus of RPA2, are specifically required for the UV-induced, ATR-mediated inhibition of DNA replication. RPA2 mutant alleles containing phospho-mimetic mutations at ATR-dependent phosphorylation sites have an impaired ability to associate with replication centers, indicating that ATR phosphorylation of RPA2 directly affects the replication function of RPA. Our studies suggest that in response to UV-induced DNA damage, ATR rapidly phosphorylates RPA2, disrupting its association with replication centers in the S-phase and contributing to the inhibition of DNA replication.

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.
