Comparison of systems of replication stress relocation to NPC/nuclear periphery.

Type of Obstacle Protein-Mediated Fork Arrest Structure-Forming DNA Sequence Telomere-Specific Replication Stress Aphidicolin Induced Replication Stress
System description Site-specific RFB blocking a single replisome in a polar manner Expanded trinucleotide repeats forming hairpin structures that stall replisomes Stalled replisomes at
telomere repeats in telomerase-negative cells
Telomere-specific replication stress induced by POT1 dysfunctions Global replication fork stalling induced
Organism S. pombe S. cerevisiae S. cerevisiae human cell lines human cell lines

Relocation outcomes Ulp1-NPCs alleviate inhibitory effect of SUMO chains on HR-mediated fork restart Rad51 loading to promote error free fork restart and preventing CAG repeat instability Promoting conservative fork restart pathway to avoid error-prone Rad51-dependent SCR Preventing SCR at telomeres to promote the maintenance of repetitive DNA Promoting replication stress response to ensure fork restart and prevent mitotic abnormalities.
