Show abstract
Mrc1 is a replication fork component that mediates communication between the replication checkpoint and fork progression. Here, we find that Mrc1 forms a dynamic mechanical linkage between CMG helicase and DNA Polymerase {varepsilon} that balances fork stability and flexibility. In its coupled state, Mrc1 bridges CMG helicase and the Pol2 C-terminal domain of Polymerase {varepsilon} to maintain helicase-polymerase coordination, promoting tolerance to replication stress but constraining fork remodeling. Upon checkpoint activation, Mec1/Rad53-dependent phosphorylation of Mrc1 shifts this equilibrium toward a loosened state, reducing coupling and enabling fork flexibility and lower mutation rate at the cost of reduced stress resistance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
