Chromosomal common fragile sites (CFSs) are genetically unstable regions of the genome that are induced by conditions that impair DNA replication. In this report, we show that treatment with the DNA polymerase inhibitor, aphidicolin (APH), slows the replication rate throughout S phase. To investigate the unusual sensitivity of CFSs to APH-induced replication stress, we examined replication dynamics within a 50 kb region of the most frequently expressed CFS, FRA3B. We mapped four origins of repli ...[more]
