Figure 6. Mechanism of SUMO‐mediated DNA replication‐independent DPC repair.

Figure 6

Scheme illustrating independent mechanisms of replication‐coupled and SUMO‐mediated replication‐independent DPC repair available to cells. In the absence of RNF4‐mediated DPC resolution, cells containing high loads of DPCs generated after DNA replication fail to elicit a DNA damage checkpoint response and consequently enter mitosis with unresolved DPCs, leading to chromosome segregation defects.
