Restarting a stalled replication fork is a major challenge for DNA replication.Several fork regression pathways have evolved to deal with stalled forks and avoid the collapse of the replication process.These pathways involve the action of helicases presenting dual DNA unwinding and rewinding activites.In contrast to unwinding, DNA rewinding by helicases has proved difficult to characterize biochemically, due to its thermodynamically downhill nature.
