Human single-stranded DNA-binding protein 1 (hSSB1) is required for the timely repair of double-strand DNA breaks, as well as the stabilisation and restart of stalled replication forks. In this work, evidence is provided that cellular survival in response to replication stress is promoted by dynamic phosphorylation of hSSB1 by the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and PPP-family protein phosphatases. These data provide insight into the functional regulation of hSSB1 following replication fork disruption
