NSMCE2 is an E3 SUMO ligase and a subunit of the SMC5/6 complex that associates with the replication fork and protects against genomic instability. Here, we study the fate of collapsed replication forks generated by prolonged hydroxyurea treatment in human NSMCE2-deficient cells. Double strand breaks accumulate during rescue by converging forks in normal cells but not in NSMCE2-deficient cells. Un-rescued forks persist into mitosis, leading to increased mitotic DNA damage. Excess RAD51 accumulates and persists at collapsed forks in NSMCE2-deficient cells, possibly due to lack of BLM recruitment to stalled forks. Despite failure of BLM to accumulate at stalled forks, NSMCE2-deficient cells exhibit lower levels of hydroxyurea-induced sister chromatid exchange. In cells deficient in both NSMCE2 and BLM, hydroxyurea-induced double strand breaks and sister chromatid exchange resembled levels found in NSCME2-deficient cells. We conclude that the rescue of collapsed forks by converging forks is dependent on NSMCE2.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. Java-based software that blasts each sequence that you provide it, and then looks for a consensus taxon among the top-hits returned from blast. MARTA uses NCBI''s megablast program to align your sequence(s) against a local installation of blast. Then MARTA uses GenInfo Identifiers from the top-hits to retrieve taxonomic information from NCBI''s taxonomy database. Using your thresholds/cutoffs, MARTA ''votes'' to find a taxonomic assignment by consensus; MARTA might resolve some sequences to species level, and others to kingdom or to no level, depending on the taxonomic information held within your tag or sequence.
