During tumorigenesis loss of p53 not only abrogates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, but also suppresses the induction of replication-stress-induced DNA double-stranded breaks.

In addition to its role in preventing tumors, the protein p53 appears to participate in a DNA repair process known as the replication-stress response.

Mutation of Glycine 34 to Arginine within the N-terminal tail of histone H3 alters post-translational modifications on Lysine 36 and is associated with a delay in replication restart, defective homologous recombination and an increase in genomic instability.

Small molecule inhibitors identified in a biophysical high-throughout screening assay confirm the importance of the interaction between single-stranded DNA and the protein RAD52 for the survival of BRCA2-depleted cells.

Translesion polymerase kappa promotes replication fork restart to maintain genome stability during conditions of nucleotide deprivation.

An investigation into 8-oxodeoxguanosine bypass by archaeal DNA polymerases.

53BP1 and BRCA1 antagonistically control a temporal choice of two distinct pathways to restart stalled replication forks in a DNA double stand repair-independent manner.

Chromatin structure is altered following DNA replication stress through the activity of protein kinase C signalling which leads to functionally coupled histone H3 phosphorylation and acetylation events.

Activation of the stress response pathway in young cells extends replicative lifespan, not by reducing global protein synthesis per se, but by Gcn4-mediated autophagy induction.

Nonlinear H₂O₂ scavenging by peroxiredoxins drives acquired stress resistance and replicative lifespan hormesis.
