Site-specific interaction of the murine pre-replicative complex with origin DNA: assembly and disassembly during cell cycle transit and differentiation.


ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates at origins of replication by the assembly of the highly conserved pre-replicative complex (pre-RC). However, exact sequences for pre-RC binding still remain unknown. By chromatin immunoprecipitation we identified in vivo a pre-RC-binding site within the origin of bidirectional replication in the murine rDNA locus. At this sequence, ORC1, -2, -4 and -5 are bound in G1 phase and at the G1/S transition. During S phase, ORC1 is released. An ATP-dependent and site-specific assembly of the pre-RC at origin DNA was demonstrated in vitro using partially purified murine pre-RC proteins in electrophoretic mobility shift assays. By deletion experiments the sequence required for pre-RC binding was confined to 119 bp. Nucleotide substitutions revealed that two 9 bp sequence elements, CTCGGGAGA, are essential for the binding of pre-RC proteins to origin DNA within the murine rDNA locus. During myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells, we demonstrated a reduction of ORC1 and ORC2 by immunoblot analyses. ChIP analyses revealed that ORC1 completely disappears from chromatin of terminally differentiated myotubes, whereas ORC2, -4 and -5 still remain associated.
