Abstrakt: Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) factors act in replication-fork protection, restart, and repair. Here, we identified a mechanism related to RNA:DNA hybrids to establish the NHEJ factor Ku-mediated barrier to nascent strand degradation in fission yeast. RNase H activities promote nascent strand degradation and replication restart, with a prominent role of RNase H2 in processing RNA:DNA hybrids to overcome the Ku barrier to nascent strand degradation. RNase H2 cooperates with the MRN-Ctp1 axis to sustain cell resistance to replication stress in a Ku-dependent manner. Mechanistically, the need of RNaseH2 in nascent strand degradation requires the primase activity that allows establishing the Ku barrier to Exo1, whereas impairing Okazaki fragment maturation reinforces the Ku barrier. Finally, replication stress induces Ku foci in a primase-dependent manner and favors Ku binding to RNA:DNA hybrids. We propose a function for the RNA:DNA hybrid originating from Okazaki fragments in controlling the Ku barrier specifying nuclease requirement to engage fork resection.
