Term Name: replication fork protection complex
Synonyms: fork pausing complex, Swi1-Swi3 complex, TIMELESS-TIPIN complex
Definition: A heterotrimeric replication-pausing complex conserved in eukaryotes and associated with the replication fork; the complex stabilizes stalled replication forks and is thought to be involved in coordinating leading- and lagging-strand synthesis and in replication checkpoint signaling. Required for maximal fork speed both in vivo and in vitro.
