Replication Fork Progression Is Impaired by Transcription in Hyperrecombinant Yeast Cells Lacking a Functional THO Complex

Abstract

THO/TREX is a conserved, eukaryotic protein complex operating at the interface between transcription and messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) metabolism. THO mutations impair transcription and lead to increased transcription-associated recombination (TAR). These phenotypes are dependent on the nascent mRNA; however, the molecular mechanism by which impaired mRNP biogenesis triggers recombination in THO/TREX mutants is unknown. In this study, we provide evidence that deficient mRNP biogenesis causes slowdown or pausing of the replication fork in hpr1Delta mutants. Impaired replication appears to depend on sequence-specific features since it was observed upon activation of lacZ but not leu2 transcription. Replication fork progression could be partially restored by hammerhead ribozyme-guided self-cleavage of the nascent mRNA. Additionally, hpr1Delta increased the number of S-phase but not G(2)-dependent TAR events as well as the number of budded cells containing Rad52 repair foci. Our results link transcription-dependent genomic instability in THO mutants with impaired replication fork progression, suggesting a molecular basis for a connection between inefficient mRNP biogenesis and genetic instability.

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.
