Dynamics of association of origins of DNA replication with the nuclear matrix during the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT: DNA of replication foci attached to the nuclear matrix was isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells and human HeLa cells synchronized at different stages of the G(1) and S phases of the cell cycle. The abundance of sequences from dihydrofolate reductase ori-beta and the beta-globin replicator was determined in matrix-attached DNA. The results show that matrix-attached DNA isolated from cells in late G(1) phase was enriched in origin sequences in comparison with matrix-attached DNA from early G(1) phase cells. The concentration of the early firing ori-beta in DNA attached to the matrix decreased in early S phase, while the late firing beta-globin origin remained attached until late S phase. We conclude that replication origins associate with the nuclear matrix in late G(1) phase and dissociate after initiation of DNA replication in S phase.

Cell-Cycle-Dependent Chromatin Dynamics at Replication Origins.

Project description:Origins of DNA replication are specified by the ordered recruitment of replication factors in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. The assembly of the pre-replicative complex in G1 and the pre-initiation complex prior to activation in S phase are well characterized; however, the interplay between the assembly of these complexes and the local chromatin environment is less well understood. To investigate the dynamic changes in chromatin organization at and surrounding replication origins, we used micrococcal nuclease (MNase) to generate genome-wide chromatin occupancy profiles of nucleosomes, transcription factors, and replication proteins through consecutive cell cycles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During each G1 phase of two consecutive cell cycles, we observed the downstream repositioning of the origin-proximal +1 nucleosome and an increase in protected DNA fragments spanning the ARS consensus sequence (ACS) indicative of pre-RC assembly. We also found that the strongest correlation between chromatin occupancy at the ACS and origin efficiency occurred in early S phase, consistent with the rate-limiting formation of the Cdc45-Mcm2-7-GINS (CMG) complex being a determinant of origin activity. Finally, we observed nucleosome disruption and disorganization emanating from replication origins and traveling with the elongating replication forks across the genome in S phase, likely reflecting the disassembly and assembly of chromatin ahead of and behind the replication fork, respectively. These results provide insights into cell-cycle-regulated chromatin dynamics and how they relate to the regulation of origin activity.

DNA methylation is stable during replication and cell cycle arrest.

Project description:DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification with important functions in development. Large-scale loss of DNA methylation is a hallmark of cancer. Recent work has identified large genomic blocks of hypomethylation associated with cancer, EBV transformation and replicative senescence, all of which change the proportion of actively proliferating cells within the population measured. We asked if replication or cell-cycle arrest affects the global levels of methylation or leads to hypomethylated blocks as observed in other settings. We used fluorescence activated cell sorting to isolate primary dermal fibroblasts in G0, G1 and G2 based on DNA content and Ki67 staining. We additionally examined G0 cells arrested by contact inhibition for one week to determine the effects of extended arrest. We analyzed genome wide DNA methylation from sorted cells using whole genome bisulfite sequencing. This analysis demonstrated no global changes or large-scale hypomethylated blocks in any of the examined cell cycle phases, indicating that global levels of methylation are stable with replication and arrest.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA): a key factor in DNA replication and cell cycle regulation.

Project description:BackgroundPCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) has been found in the nuclei of yeast, plant and animal cells that undergo cell division, suggesting a function in cell cycle regulation and/or DNA replication. It subsequently became clear that PCNA also played a role in other processes involving the cell genome.ScopeThis review discusses eukaryotic PCNA, with an emphasis on plant PCNA, in terms of the protein structure and its biochemical properties as well as gene structure, organization, expression and function. PCNA exerts a tripartite function by operating as (1) a sliding clamp during DNA synthesis, (2) a polymerase switch factor and (3) a recruitment factor. Most of its functions are mediated by its interactions with various proteins involved in DNA synthesis, repair and recombination as well as in regulation of the cell cycle and chromatid cohesion. Moreover, post-translational modifications of PCNA play a key role in regulation of its functions. Finally, a phylogenetic comparison of PCNA genes suggests that the multi-functionality observed in most species is a product of evolution.ConclusionsMost plant PCNAs exhibit features similar to those found for PCNAs of other eukaryotes. Similarities include: (1) a trimeric ring structure of the PCNA sliding clamp, (2) the involvement of PCNA in DNA replication and repair, (3) the ability to stimulate the activity of DNA polymerase δ and (4) the ability to interact with p21, a regulator of the cell cycle. However, many plant genomes seem to contain the second, probably functional, copy of the PCNA gene, in contrast to PCNA pseudogenes that are found in mammalian genomes.

DNA precursors are channelled to nuclear matrix DNA replication sites.

Project description:Studies of replicative DNA synthesis using DNA precursors have shown that the DNA that was replicated most recently is that associated with the nuclear matrix. Consequently, precursors arising via the salvage and the de novo metabolic pathways are first incorporated into a small percentage of the total nuclear DNA that is termed nuclear matrix-associated DNA. These results have been substantiated in cell culture, as well as in intact mammalian systems. Furthermore, when DNA precursors were injected intravenously into regenerating rat liver, a significant lag in the incorporation of orotic acid-derived nucleotides (de novo pathway precursors) into nuclear DNA was observed, when compared with deoxythymidine-derived nucleotides (salvage pathway precursors). This lag in incorporation kinetics was also evident at the nuclear matrix level, although, once incorporated into nuclear matrix-associated DNA, the distribution patterns of both precursors into extra-matrix nuclear DNA fractions were identical. To determine the basis for this kinetic lag, we compared the incorporation kinetics of orotic acid and of deoxythymidine into dTTP and into nuclear matrix-associated DNA, respectively. Orotic acid-derived nucleotides entered the cytosolic dTTP pool before being incorporated into nuclear matrix-associated DNA, that is, traversing the classical metabolic route of DNA precursors. Conversely, deoxythymidine-derived nucleotides by-passed the soluble dTTP cellular pool and engaged directly in DNA synthesis at the nuclear matrix. Not only is this the first evidence for nucleotide channelling in an intact mammalian system, but it also forms direct evidence that salvage pathway DNA precursors are channelled to nuclear matrix-associated sites of DNA replication.

Chromatin dynamics during DNA replication.

Project description:Chromatin is composed of DNA and histones, which provide a unified platform for regulating DNA-related processes, mostly through their post-translational modification. During DNA replication, histone arrangement is perturbed, first to allow progression of DNA polymerase and then during repackaging of the replicated DNA. To study how DNA replication influences the pattern of histone modification, we followed the cell-cycle dynamics of 10 histone marks in budding yeast. We find that histones deposited on newly replicated DNA are modified at different rates: While some marks appear immediately upon replication (e.g., H4K16ac, H3K4me1), others increase with transcription-dependent delays (e.g., H3K4me3, H3K36me3). Notably, H3K9ac was deposited as a wave preceding the replication fork by ∼5-6 kb. This replication-guided H3K9ac was fully dependent on the acetyltransferase Rtt109, while expression-guided H3K9ac was deposited by Gcn5. Further, topoisomerase depletion intensified H3K9ac in front of the replication fork and in sites where RNA polymerase II was trapped, suggesting supercoiling stresses trigger H3K9 acetylation. Our results assign complementary roles for DNA replication and gene expression in defining the pattern of histone modification.

Origins of DNA replication.

Project description:In all kingdoms of life, DNA is used to encode hereditary information. Propagation of the genetic material between generations requires timely and accurate duplication of DNA by semiconservative replication prior to cell division to ensure each daughter cell receives the full complement of chromosomes. DNA synthesis of daughter strands starts at discrete sites, termed replication origins, and proceeds in a bidirectional manner until all genomic DNA is replicated. Despite the fundamental nature of these events, organisms have evolved surprisingly divergent strategies that control replication onset. Here, we discuss commonalities and differences in replication origin organization and recognition in the three domains of life.

Active DNA unwinding dynamics during processive DNA replication.

Project description:Duplication of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) requires a fine-tuned coordination between the DNA replication and unwinding reactions. Using optical tweezers, we probed the coupling dynamics between these two activities when they are simultaneously carried out by individual Phi29 DNA polymerase molecules replicating a dsDNA hairpin. We used the wild-type and an unwinding deficient polymerase variant and found that mechanical tension applied on the DNA and the DNA sequence modulate in different ways the replication, unwinding rates, and pause kinetics of each polymerase. However, incorporation of pause kinetics in a model to quantify the unwinding reaction reveals that both polymerases destabilize the fork with the same active mechanism and offers insights into the topological strategies that could be used by the Phi29 DNA polymerase and other DNA replication systems to couple unwinding and replication reactions.

In vivo association of Ku with mammalian origins of DNA replication.

Project description:Ku is a heterodimeric (Ku70/86-kDa) nuclear protein with known functions in DNA repair, V(D)J recombination, and DNA replication. Here, the in vivo association of Ku with mammalian origins of DNA replication was analyzed by studying its association with ors8 and ors12, as assayed by formaldehyde cross-linking, followed by immunoprecipitation and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. The association of Ku with ors8 and ors12 was also analyzed as a function of the cell cycle. This association was found to be approximately fivefold higher in cells synchronized at the G1/S border, in comparison with cells at G0, and it decreased by approximately twofold upon entry of the cells into S phase, and to near background levels in cells at G2/M phase. In addition, in vitro DNA replication experiments were performed with the use of extracts from Ku80(+/+) and Ku80(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts. A decrease of approximately 70% in in vitro DNA replication was observed when the Ku80(-/-) extracts were used, compared with the Ku80(+/+) extracts. The results indicate a novel function for Ku as an origin binding-protein, which acts at the initiation step of DNA replication and dissociates after origin firing.
