Table 1. E3 ligases that regulate replication fork stability.

E3 ligase Substrate Function REF.
OBI1 ORC Promotes origin firing and recruitment of DNA replication factors [16]
SCF-Skp2
DDB1-Cul4
CDT1 Maintains low levels of CDT1 in S and G2 phase [17]
SPOP Geminin Blocks the binding of CDT1 to MCM and prevents the overfiring of replication origins [18]
SCFDia2 MCM7 Recruits CDC48 to disassemble CMG helicase, mediating termination in budding yeast [19,20]
CUL2LRR1 MCM7 Recruits CDC48 to disassemble CMG helicase, mediating termination in metazoans [21,22]
SCFPof3 Pol ε/δ MCM-2,-4,-6 Delays replication fork progression via the ubiquitin-proteasome system in Swi1-deficient cells [23]
PRP19 RPA Promotes ATR-ATRIP activation [12]
RFWD3 RPA Activates ATR-ATRIP and promotes PCNA ubiquitination [24,25]
HectH9 TopBP1 Reduces TopBP1 recruitment to chromatin and attenuates ATR-dependent signaling [26]
RAD18 PCNA Promotes monoubiquitination of PCNA, facilitating binding to TLS polymerase, and helps to bypass problematic lesions [27]
CRL4Cdt2 PCNA Facilitates the TLS pathway in undamaged cells [28].
Rad5 HLTF/SHPRH PCNA Promotes the TS pathway and recruits the DNA translocase ZRANB3 to stalled replication forks [13–15]
SCFFBH1 RAD51 Prevents reassociation of RAD51 with DNA [29]
RNF168 H2A Prevents MRE11-dependent fork degradation [30]
Bre1 H2B Facilitates fork stalling and recovery during replication stress [31,32]
MDM2 PARP1 Increases the activity of RECQ1 and PRIMPOL, promoting restart and repriming of DNA synthesis [33]
SIAH2 CtIP Promotes the loading of SIAH2 at stalled replication forks, facilitating efficient restart [34]
TRAIP DPCs Promotes degradation of DPCs via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway [35]
TRAIP CMG Promotes CDC48/p97-dependent disassembly of CMG at ICLs and NEIL3 pathway [36,37]
FANCL
PHF9
FANCD2/FANCI Promotes ICL repair via nuclease-dependent DNA incision carried out by XPF (FANCQ)-ERCC1 and SLX4 (FANCP) and diminishes R-loop accumulation [38,39]

Abbreviations: DPC, DNA–protein cross-link; ICL, DNA interstrand cross-link; TLS, translesion synthesis; TS, template-switching.
