Multiple DNA repair pathways contribute to MMS-induced post-replicative DNA synthesis in  S. pombe  .
Replication stress can induce DNA synthesis outside of replicative S-phase. We have previously demonstrated that fission yeast cells stimulate DNA synthesis in G2-phase but not in M-phase in response to DNA alkylating agent MMS. In this study, we show that various DNA repair pathways, including translesion synthesis and break-induced replication contribute to post-replicative DNA synthesis. Checkpoint kinases, various repair and resection proteins, and multiple polymerases are also involved.
