title: A SUMOry of DNA replication: synthesis, damage, and repair.
abstract: Recombination at stalled replication forks is regulated at an early stage by sumoylation. In this issue of Cell, Branzei et al. show that the Ubc9/SUMO modification pathway controls the accumulation of cruciform structures at stalled forks.
