The telomeric CTC1/STN1/TEN1 (CST) complex has recently been implicated in promoting replication recovery under replications stress at genomic regions, yet its precise role is unclear. Here we report that STN1 is enriched at GC-rich repetitive sequences genome-wide in response to hydroxyurea (HU)-induced replication stress. STN1 deficiency exacerbates fragility of these sequences under replication stress, resulting in chromosome fragmentation. We find that upon fork stalling, CST proteins form distinct nuclear foci that colocalize with RAD51. Furthermore, replication stress induces physical association between CST with RAD51 in an ATR-dependent manner. Strikingly, CST deficiency diminishes HU-induced RAD51 foci formation and reduces RAD51 recruitment to telomeres and non-telomeric GC-rich fragile sequences. Collectively, our findings establish that CST promotes RAD51 recruitment to GC-rich repetitive sequences in response to replication stress to facilitate replication restart, thereby providing insights into the mechanism underlying genome stability maintenance. Chastain et al. find that under replication stress, telomeric complex CST interacts with RAD51 and is enriched at GC-rich repetitive fragile sites. CST suppression inhibits RAD51 recruitment to fragile sites, resulting in genome instability.
