Project description:At every cell cycle, faithful inheritance of metazoan genomes requires the concerted activation of thousands of DNA replication origins. However, which genetic and chromatin features define metazoan replication start sites remains largely unknown. Here, we delineate the origin repertoire of the Drosophila genome at high resolution. We address the role of origin-proximal G-quadruplexes and show their ability to transiently stall replication forks in vivo. We dissect the chromatin configuration of replication origins and identify a rich spatial organization of chromatin features at initiation sites. DNA shape and chromatin configurations, not strict sequence specificity, mark and predict replication origins in higher eukaryotes. We further examine the link between transcription and origin firing and reveal that modulation of origin activity across cell types is intimately linked to cell-type-specific transcriptional programs. Our study unravels conserved origin features and provides unique insights into the relationship between DNA topology, chromatin, transcription and replication initiation across metazoa. Our dataset consists of SNS-Seq profiles in Drosophila S2 and Bg3 cells. Small nascent leading strands (SNS) have been purified with an enhanced sensitivity SNS purification protocol. For standard SNS-Seq experiments (from pooled gradient fractions, denoted as "pool"), SNS were purified from two biological replicates. For single-fraction SNS-Seq experiments, two libraries were prepared for each fraction. The genomic coordinates of S2 and Bg3 replication origins are also provided.

Project description:Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins facilitate replication by licensing origins and unwinding the DNA double strand. Interestingly, the number of MCM hexamers greatly exceeds the number of firing origins suggesting additional roles of MCMs. Here we show a hitherto unanticipated function of MCM2 in cilia formation in human cells and zebrafish that is uncoupled from replication. Zebrafish depleted of MCM2 develop ciliopathy-phenotypes including microcephaly and aberrant heart looping due to malformed cilia. In non-cycling human fibroblasts, loss of MCM2 promotes transcription of a subset of genes, which cause cilia shortening and centriole overduplication. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments show that MCM2 binds to transcription start sites of cilia inhibiting genes. We propose that such binding may block RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. Depletion of a second MCM (MCM7), which functions in complex with MCM2 during its canonical functions, reveals an overlapping cilia-deficiency phenotype likely unconnected to replication, although MCM7 appears to regulate a distinct subset of genes and pathways. Our data suggests that MCM2 and 7 exert a role in ciliogenesis in post-mitotic tissues.

Project description:Because of the lack of information, regulation of DNA replication initiation in mammals is still poorly understood. In order to identify general rules, we have mapped replication origins along 1% of the human genome in HeLa cells. We found large gene-poor regions lacking origin and G+C rich regions containing clusters of closely spaced origins. Half of the 283 origins mapped are within or near CpG islands. The connection with gene expression is further reinforced by the observation that most origins overlap with DNAseI hypersensitive sites found at transcriptional regulatory elements. We show, however, that this association is independent of chromatin structure and transcriptional activity. Replication timing analyses coupled to our origin mapping demonstrate that origin dense regions and isolated origins are replicated at every moment in S phase. All together, our data suggest that a relatively strict origin-timing programme regulates DNA replication of the human genome. Keywords: Nascent strands, ENCODE project, HeLAS3 cells, SNS-Chip Four independent preparations of Short Nascent Strands (SNS) were performed. In order to have enough material for microarray hybridisation, we coupled the stringent preparation of SNS with the TLAD method, a technique of linear amplification that can generate several µg of amplified material from 10-20 ng of DNA (Liu et al., 2003).Two were amplified by TLAD (experiments A and B) and hybridized on DNA microarrays, and the other two (experiments C and D) were used for the validation by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) of results obtained on micro-arrays. We performed also a gDNA/gDNA hybridization where gDNA are also amplified by TLAD to order to do a control.

Project description:The budding yeast genome is marked by 250-350 origins of DNA replication. These origins are bound by the origin recognition complex (ORC) throughout the cell cycle. ORC has known DNA binding sequence preferences which, though necessary for binding, are not sufficient to fully specify a genomic locus as being bound by ORC, indicating that the cell must use additional chromosomal cues to specify ORC binding sites and origins of replication. Using high-throughput sequencing to precisely locate both ORC binding sites and nucleosome locations genome-wide, we find that a nucleosome depleted region (NDR) and precisely positioned nucleosomes are a ubiquitous feature of yeast replication origins. The ARS consensus sequence (ACS) and adjacent sequences are sufficient to maintain the nucleosome-free properties of the NDR. We use a temperature sensitive ORC1 mutant to demonstrate that ORC is required to maintain precisely positioned nucleosomes at origins of replication. These findings demonstrate the importance of local nucleosome positioning at replication origins, and that chromatin organization is an important determinant of origin selection.

Project description:The minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM) DNA helicase is an important replicative factor during DNA replication. The proper chromatin loading of MCM is a key step to ensure replication initiation during G1/S phase. Because replication initiation is regulated by multiple biological cues, additional changes to MCM may provide deeper understanding towards this event. Here, we uncover that the histidine methyltransferase SETD3 promotes DNA replication in an enzymatic activity dependent manner. Nascent-strand sequencing (NS-seq) shows that SETD3 regulates replication initiation, as depletion of SETD3 attenuates early replication origins firing. Mechanistically, biochemical experiments reveal that SETD3 binds MCM mainly during G1/S phase, which is required for CDT1-mediated chromatin loading of MCM. The MCM loading relies on the histidine-459 methylation (H459me) on MCM7 that is catalyzed by SETD3. Impairment of H459 methylation attenuates DNA synthesis and chromatin loading of MCM. Furthermore, we show that CDK2 phosphorylates SETD3 at Serine-21 during the G1/S phase, which is required for DNA replication and cell cycle progression. These findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which SETD3 methylates MCM to regulate replication initiation.

Project description:Replication of vertebrate genomes is tightly regulated to ensure accurate duplication, but our understanding of the interplay between genetic and epigenetic factors in this regulation remains incomplete. Here, we investigated the involvement of three elements enriched at gene promoters and replication origins: guanine-rich motifs potentially forming G-quadruplexes (pG4s), nucleosome-free regions (NFRs), and the histone variant H2A.Z, in the firing of origins of replication in vertebrates. We show that two pG4s on the same DNA strand (dimeric pG4s) are sufficient to induce assembly of an efficient minimal replication origin without inducing transcription. Dimeric pG4s in replication origins trigger formation of an NFR next to precisely positioned nucleosomes enriched in H2A.Z on this minimal origin and genome-wide. Thus, our data suggest a crucial role for dimeric pG4s in the organization and duplication of vertebrate genomes. It supports the hypothesis that a nucleosome close to an NFR is a shared signal for the formation of replication origins in eukaryotes.

Project description:Yeast Sen1Senataxin is a RNA/DNA helicase that preserves replication forks across RNA Polymerase II-transcribed genes by counteracting RNA:DNA hybrids accumulation. We show that in Sen1-depleted cells early forks clashing head-on with transcription halt, and impair progression of sister forks within the same replicon. Unsolved replication-transcription collisions trigger the local firing of dormant origins that rescue arrested forks. In sen1 mutants the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes protect those forks clashing with transcription by preventing genotoxic fork-resection events mediated by the Exo1 nuclease. Hence, sister forks within the same replicon remain coupled when one of the two forks halts. This is different when forks encounter double strand breaks. Moreover, the local firing of dormant origins is not prevented by checkpoint activation but depends on delayed adjacent forks. Furthermore, a productive head-on clash between replication and transcription requires the tuning of origin firing and coordination between Sen1, the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes and Exo1.

Project description:Rif1 regulates replication timing and repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. Using Chromatin-immunoprecipitation-Sequencing method, we have identified 35 high-affinity Rif1 binding sites in fission yeast chromosomes. Binding sites, preferentially located to the vicinity of dormant origins, tended to contain at least two copies of a conserved motif, CNWWGTGGGGG, and base substitution within these motifs resulted in complete loss of Rif1 binding and activation of late-firing or dormant origins located as far as 50 kb away. We show that Rif1 binding sites adopt G-quadruplex-like structures in vitro in a manner dependent on the conserved sequence as well as on other G-tracts, and that the purified Rif1 preferentially binds to this structure. These results suggest that Rif1 recognizes and binds to G-quadruplex-like structures at selected intergenic regions to generate local chromatin structures that may exert a long-range suppressive effects on origin firing.
