Double-strand break formation and suppression at replication forks that stall in rep mutant strains is dependent on the interconnected action of RecBCD, RuvAB and RuvC, suggesting that these proteins act on a common intermediate - a Holliday-like junction formed by reverse branch migration of the nascent DNA at the fork. An important observation which reveals an initiation pathway for replication-fork reactivation.

Hydroxyurea-treated cells accumulate single-stranded breaks in nascent DNA which progress to DSBs in rad52 mutants during DNA replication. Similarly, mec1-srf mutations, which are synthetically lethal with rad52, also cause the accumulation of single-strand breaks. These observations suggest that during S phase DSBs arise frequently as a result of DNA replication and are repaired by a recombinational mechanism. This is very suggestive of the CPR pathway in bacteria.

Double-strand break repair is shown to require essentially all of the known components of the replication fork. This indicates that even if the region that is duplicated by replication is limited to the gap created by resection of the break, the recombination and replication machinery are able to cooperate to repair DNA damage.

Physical analysis reveals that as much as 50% of the products of repair from a chromosomal DSB generated by the use of a rare-cutting endonuclease can be attributed to HR. A revealing and informative approach to the study of recombination in mammalian systems.
46. Richardson C., Moynahan M.E., Jasin M. Double-strand break repair by interchromosomal recombination: suppression of chromosomal translocation. Genes Dev. 12:1998;3831-3842. Homologous recombination between repeats on heterologous chromosomes is stimulated 1000-fold by DSB formation. Some long-tract gene-conversion events are likely to involve recombination-directed replication. Thus, the tools exist in mammalian cells for a housekeeping function that combines recombination and replication to repair replication forks arrested by encountering a nick in the template strand.
47. Johnson R.D., Liu N., Jasin M. Mammalian XRCC2 promotes the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. Nature. 401:1999;397-399. This paper shows that a gene product known to be required for the repair of DNA damage is required for DSB-initiated HR between sister chromatids. This echoes the situation in bacteria where sensitivity to UV-irradiation of mutations in genes such as priA is coupled to a HR defect and can be attributed to a defect in replication fork reactivation.

49. Moynahan M.E., Chiu J.W., Koller B.H., Jasin M. Brca1 controls homology-directed DNA repair. Mol Cell. 4:1999;511-518. The authors show that a protein associated with increased occurrence of breast and ovarian tumors and known to associate with RAD51 is involved in DSB-initiated HR, but not NHEJ, between direct repeats on the same chromosome. This suggests that that the increased genome instability observed in the absence of Brca1 results from the lack of a housekeeping function that acts to repair DSBs. Is this an intimation of mammalian CPR? Could be!

The authors provide physical evidence that RecBCD-mediated repair of double-strand breaks in E. coli proceeds by a pathway that involves participation of the cellular replicase, the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme. This is an important observation confirming that recombination-directed replication initiates at recombination intermediates under conditions of normal growth.
