Summary: Overexpression of Cyclin E1 perturbs DNA replication, resulting in DNA lesions and genomic instability. Consequently, Cyclin E1-overexpressing cancer cells increasingly rely on DNA repair, including RAD52-mediated break-induced replication during interphase. We show that not all DNA lesions induced by Cyclin E1 overexpression are resolved during interphase. While DNA lesions upon Cyclin E1 overexpression are induced in S phase, a significant fraction of these lesions is transmitted into mitosis. Cyclin E1 overexpression triggers mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS) in a RAD52-dependent fashion. Chemical or genetic inactivation of MiDAS enhances mitotic aberrations and persistent DNA damage. Mitosis-specific degradation of RAD52 prevents Cyclin E1-induced MiDAS and reduces the viability of Cyclin E1-overexpressing cells, underscoring the relevance of RAD52 during mitosis to maintain genomic integrity. Finally, analysis of breast cancer samples reveals a positive correlation between Cyclin E1 amplification and RAD52 expression. These findings demonstrate the importance of suppressing mitotic defects in Cyclin E1-overexpressing cells through RAD52.
