Description

This track integrates RPA1, RPA2 and pRPA2 ChIP-seq datasets. The RPA complex (RPA1/RPA2/RPA3) has high affinity for ssDNA and is recruited to the displaced strand of R-loops, therefore providing a complementary readout to direct RNA:DNA hybrid mapping. In contrast, pRPA2 (the ATR-phosphorylated form of RPA2 at serine 33) specifically reports the activation of the replication stress response. Phosphorylation of RPA2 by ATR occurs when R-loops physically interfere with replication fork progression, primarily at transcription termination sites (TTS) that are replicated in a head-on orientation relative to transcription. Thus, while RPA1/RPA2 indicate the presence of R-loop-associated ssDNA, pRPA2 distinguishes which R-loop regions cause replication fork stalling and ATR activation.
