Timely lagging strand maturation relies on Ubp10 deubiquitylase-mediated PCNA dissociation from replicating chromatin.

Synthesis and maturation of Okazaki Fragments is an incessant and highly efficient metabolic process completing the synthesis of the lagging strands at replication forks during S phase. Accurate Okazaki fragment maturation (OFM) is crucial to maintain genome integrity and, therefore, cell survival in all living organisms. In eukaryotes, OFM involves ...
the consecutive action of DNA polymerase Pol ?, 5' Flap endonuclease Fen1 and DNA ligase I, and constitutes the best example of a sequential process coordinated by the sliding clamp PCNA. For OFM to occur efficiently, cooperation of these enzymes with PCNA must be highly regulated. Here, we present evidence of a role for the K164-PCNA-deubiquitylase Ubp10 in the maturation of Okazaki fragments in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that Ubp10 associates with lagging-strand DNA synthesis machineries on replicating chromatin to ensure timely ligation of Okazaki fragments by promoting PCNA dissociation from chromatin requiring lysine 164 deubiquitylation.
