Query: The organizer of chromatin topology RIF1 ensures cellular resilience to DNA replication stress. Eukaryotic genomes are duplicated from thousands of replication origins that fire sequentially forming a defined spatiotemporal pattern of replication clusters. The temporal order of DNA replication is determined by chromatin architecture and, more specifically, by chromatin contacts that are stabilized by RIF1. Here we show that RIF1 localizes in close proximity to newly synthesized DNA. In cells exposed to the DNA replication inhibitor aphidicolin, suppression of RIF1 markedly decreased the efficacy of protein isolation on nascent DNA (iPOND), suggesting that the iPOND procedure is biased by chromatin topology. RIF1 was required to limit the accumulation of DNA lesions induced by aphidicolin treatment and promoted the recruitment of cohesins in the vicinity of nascent DNA. Collectively, the data suggest that the stabilization of chromatin topology by RIF1 limits replication-associated genomic instability.
