Replication stress checkpoint signaling controls tRNA gene transcription.

Abstract

In budding yeast, the transcriptional machinery at tRNA genes naturally interferes with replication in a way that can promote chromosome breakage. Here we show that a signaling module composed of core components of the replication stress checkpoint pathway represses this fork-pausing machinery in normally cycling and genotoxin-treated cells. Specifically, the sensor kinase Mec1, the signaling adaptor Mrc1 and the transducer kinase Rad53 relay signals that globally repress tRNA gene transcription during unchallenged proliferation and under conditions of replication stress. Repressive signaling in genotoxin-treated cells requires Rad53-dependent activation of a conserved repressor of tRNA gene transcription, Maf1. Cells lacking Maf1 are sensitive to replication stress under conditions of elevated tRNA gene transcription. We propose that checkpoint control of the fork-pausing activity of tRNA genes complements the repertoire of replisome-targeted mechanisms by which checkpoint proteins promote faithful DNA replication.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
