Expanded CAG repeats form stem-loop secondary structures that lead to fork stalling and collapse. Previous work has shown that these collapsed forks relocalize to nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in late S phase in a manner dependent on replication, the nucleoporin Nup84 and the Slx5 protein, which prevents repeat fragility and instability. We now show that binding of the Smc5/6 complex to the collapsed fork triggers Mms21-dependent sumoylation of fork-associated DNA repair proteins, and that RPA, Rad52, and Rad59 are the key sumoylation targets which mediate relocation. The SUMO interacting motifs of Slx5 target collapsed forks to the NPC. Notably, Rad51 foci only co-localize with the repeat after it is anchored to the nuclear periphery and Rad51 exclusion from the early collapsed fork is dependent on RPA sumoylation. This pathway may provide a mechanism to constrain recombination at stalled or collapsed forks until it is required for fork restart.
