Abstract
PriA, a 3'-->5' superfamily 2 DNA helicase, acts to remodel stalled replication forks and as a specificity factor for origin-independent assembly of a new replisome at the stalled fork. The ability of PriA to initiate replication at stalled forked structures ensures complete genome replication and helps to protect the cell from illegitimate recombination events. This review focuses on the activities of PriA and its role in replication fork assembly and maintaining genomic integrity. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Entities:
