Collisions between the replisome and a transcribing RNA polymerase
It is widely reported that DNA replication progression is effected by many factors such as DNA damage, lesion or protein, acid nucleic … , that can lead to fork arrest or sometimes fork collapse. Depending on the situation, cell have different pathways to rescue fork progression or post-replication pathways to faithfully maintain genetic information such as DNA repair …. In the cell, it’s highly possible that RNA transcription can occur simultaneously with DNA replication. In this case, the collision between replisome and transcription complex is unavoidable.
