Replication stress describes endogenous and exogenous challenges to DNA replication in the S-phase. Stress during this critical process causes helicase-polymerase decoupling at replication forks, triggering the S-phase checkpoint, which orchestrates global replication fork stalling and delayed entry into G2. The replication stressor most often used to induce the checkpoint response in yeast is hydroxyurea (HU), a clinically used chemotherapeutic.
