Caffeine and CHK1 inhibition both retards replication fork progression in Polη-deficient cells. (A) Outline of the alkaline DNA unwinding assay to monitor replication fork elongation. Unwinding starts from DNA ends such as those present at a replication fork, allowing the monitoring of the fraction of labelled DNA that ends up in the single-stranded and double-stranded fractions, respectively. (B) Replication fork progression after UVC irradiation (5 J/m2) and the presence of 1 mM caffeine in Polη-deficient XP30RO and restored cells. (C) Replication fork progression after UVC irradiation (5 J/m2) and the presence of 0.5 µM CEP-3891 in Polη-deficient XP30RO and restored cells.
