Abstract:
Transcription and replication complexes can coincide in space and time. Such coincidences may result in collisions that trigger genomic instability. The phosphorylation of Mrc1 by different signaling kinases is part of a general mechanism that serves to delay replication in response to different stresses that trigger a massive transcriptional response in S phase. This mechanism prevents Transcription-Replication Conflicts and maintains genomic integrity in response to unscheduled massive transcription during S phase.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
