Figure 6. Model for concurrent transcription termination and replication processes.

Figure 6

In wild-type cells (WT), transcription and replication are coordinated to prevent collision between both machineries and genomic instability. CFI function allows prompt DDR in the presence of DNA lesions. In CFI mutants (CFI-), impaired transcription termination interferes with replication and DDR is delayed. As a consequence, functional DNA repair pathways and G1/S checkpoint become crucial in those cells.
