    Abstract Site-specific replication fork barriers (RFBs) have proven valuable tools for studying mechanisms of repair at sites of replication fork stalling in prokaryotes and yeasts. We adapted the Escherichia coli Tus-Ter RFB for use in mammalian cells and used it to trigger site-specific replication fork stalling and homologous recombination (HR) at a defined chromosomal locus in mammalian cells. By comparing HR responses induced at the Tus-Ter RFB with those induced by a site-specific double-strand break (DSB), we have begun to uncover how the mechanisms of mammalian stalled fork repair differ from those underlying the repair of a replication-independent DSB. Here, we outline how to transiently express the Tus protein in mES cells, how to use flow cytometry to score conservative and aberrant repair outcomes, and how to quantify distinct repair outcomes in response to replication fork stalling at the inducible Tus-Ter chromosomal RFB.

    Abstract In this protocol, we use CRISPR/Cas9 to generate large deletions of the entire coding region of a gene of interest, generating a hemizygous cell line. Next, we systematically engineer precise in-frame deletions within the intact wild-type allele, facilitating study of multi-domain proteins. The optimized protocol described here allows us to rapidly screen for effective sgRNA pairs and to engineer either an in-frame deletion or a frameshift mutation in high frequencies in mouse embryonic stem cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Panday et al. (2021).

    Abstract Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) even with optimization may give low signal-to-background ratio and spatial resolution. Here, we adapted Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) (originally developed by the Henikoff group) to develop CUT&RUN-qPCR. By studying the recruitment of selected proteins (but amenable to other proteins), we find that CUT&RUN-qPCR is more sensitive and gives better spatial resolution than ChIP-qPCR. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Skene et al. (2018) and Skene and Henikoff (2017).

    Abstract Replication fork stalling occurs when the replisome encounters a barrier to normal fork progression. Replisome stalling events are common during scheduled DNA synthesis, but vary in their severity. At one extreme, a lesion may induce only temporary pausing of a DNA polymerase; at the other, it may present a near-absolute barrier to the replicative helicase and effectively block fork progression. Many alternative pathways have evolved to respond to these different types of replication stress. Among these, the homologous recombination (HR) pathway plays an important role, protecting the stalled fork and processing it for repair. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of how blocked replication forks in vertebrate cells can be processed for recombination and for replication restart.

    Abstract Collision of a replication fork with a DNA nick is thought to generate a one-ended break, fostering genomic instability. Collision of the opposing converging fork with the nick could, in principle, form a second DNA end, enabling conservative repair by homologous recombination (HR). To study mechanisms of nickase-induced HR, we developed the Flp recombinase "step arrest" nickase in mammalian cells. Flp-nickase-induced HR entails two-ended, BRCA2/RAD51-dependent short tract gene conversion (STGC), BRCA2/RAD51-independent long tract gene conversion, and discoordinated two-ended invasions. HR induced by a replication-independent break and by the Flp-nickase differ in their dependence on
