Genome instability and cell cycle dysregulation are commonly associated with cancer. DNA replication stress driven by oncogene activation during tumorigenesis is now well established as a source of genome instability. Replication stress generates DNA damage not only during S phase, but also in the subsequent mitosis, where it impacts adversely on chromosome segregation. Some regions of the genome seem particularly sensitive to replication stress-induced instability; most notably, chromosome fragile sites. In this article, we review some of the important issues that have emerged in recent years concerning DNA replication stress and fragile site expression, as well as how chromosome instability is minimized by a family of ring-shaped protein complexes known as SMC proteins. Understanding how replication stress impacts on S phase and mitosis in cancer should provide opportunities for the development of novel and tumour-specific treatments.
