DNA replication origins in whole Arabidopsis seedlings

ABSTRACT: Full genome replication in eukaryotes depends on the function of thousands of DNA replication origins (ORIs). The genome-wide identification of ORI location, achieved for animal and plant cells in culture, has been important to define their DNA and chromatin features. A major challenge in the field is to approach the biology of ORIs in whole organisms to understand their developmental plasticity. Here, we have determined the ORI location, activity and chromatin landscape in two developmental stages of Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that ORIs associate with multiple chromatin signatures including the most frequent at TSS but also at proximal and distal gene regulatory regions or repressed Polycomb domains. In constitutive heterochromatin, a high fraction of ORIs colocalize with GC-rich retrotransposons. Quantitative analysis of ORI activity led us to conclude that strong ORIs possess high scores of local GC content and clusters of GGN trinucleotides that may form G quadruplexes and other G-rich structures. We also found that development primarily influences ORI firing strength rather than the location of ORIs in different genomic loci. Moreover, ORIs that preferentially fire at early vegetative stages colocalize with GC-rich heterochromatin whereas those at later stages associate with transcribed genes. Our results provide the first identification of ORI features in a whole organism, opening new ways of studying DNA replication in different cell types in the context of development under normal and mutant conditions.

Transcription Initiation Activity Sets Replication Origin Efficiency in Mammalian Cells

Project description:Genomic mapping of DNA replication origins (ORIs) in mammals provides a powerful means for understanding the regulatory complexity of our genome. Here we combine a genome-wide approach to identify preferential sites of DNA replication initiation at 0.4% of the mouse genome with detailed molecular analysis at distinct classes of ORIs according to their location relative to the genes. Our study reveals that 85% of the replication initiation sites in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are associated with transcriptional units. Nearly half of the identified ORIs map at promoter regions and, interestingly, ORI density strongly correlates with promoter density, reflecting the coordinated organisation of replication and transcription in the mouse genome. Detailed analysis of ORI activity showed that CpG island promoter-ORIs are the most efficient ORIs in ES cells and both ORI specification and firing efficiency are maintained across cell types. Remarkably, the distribution of replication initiation sites at promoter-ORIs exactly parallels that of transcription start sites (TSS) suggesting a co-evolution of the regulatory regions driving replication and transcription. Moreover, we found that promoter-ORIs are significantly enriched in CAGE tags derived from early embryos relative to all promoters. This association implies that transcription initiation early in development sets the probability of ORI activation unveiling a new hallmark in ORI efficiency regulation in mammalian cells. Two biological replicates of lambda-exonuclease treated short nascent strands (100-600 or 300-800 nt in length) were co-hybridised with genomic DNA from the same cells to tiled genomic array covering 10.1 Mb of the mouse genome (Agilent Technologies)

Genome-scale analysis of metazoan replication origins reveals their organization in specific but flexible sites defined by conserved features.

Project description:In metazoans, thousands of DNA replication origins (Oris) are activated to replicate DNA at each cell cycle. Although their timing of activation is better understood, their genomic organization and their genetic nature remain elusive. Here, we identified Oris by nascent strand (NS) purification and characterized their common features by performing a genome-wide analysis in both Drosophila and mouse cell lines. We show that in both species most CpG islands (CGI) contain Oris, although methylation is nearly absent in Drosophila, suggesting that this epigenetic mark is not crucial for defining the initiation event. Moreover, nascent strands at the borders of CGIs show a striking bimodal distribution, suggestive of a dual initiation event. We also found that Oris contain a unique nucleotide skew around NS peaks, characterized by G/T and C/A over-representation at 5’ and 3’ of the Ori sites, respectively. GC-rich elements are detected, which are good predictors of Oris, in both mouse and Drosophila, suggesting that common sequence features are part of metazoan Oris. In the heterochromatic chromosome 4 of Drosophila, Oris are strongly correlated with HP1 binding sites. At the chromosome level, we show that Oris are organized in Ori-rich and -poor regions that co-localize with early and late replicating domains, respectively. Finally, the genome-wide analysis was coupled with a DNA combing analysis of the in-vivo spacing of replication origins. The results suggest that Oris are in large excess, and organized in groups of site-specific but flexible origins that define replicons, where a single origin is used in each group. This organization provides both site specificity and Ori firing flexibility in each replicon, allowing possible adaptation of DNA replication to environmental cues and cell fates.

Nucleosomal organization of replication origins and meiotic recombination hotspots in fission yeast

Project description:In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, DNA replication origins (ORIs) and meiotic recombination hotspots lack consensus sequences and show a bias towards mapping at large intergenic regions (IGRs). To explore whether this preference depended on underlying chromatin features, we have generated genome-wide nucleosome profiles during mitosis and meiosis. We have found that meiotic double-strand break sites (DSB) colocalize strictly with nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) and that large IGRs include clusters of NDRs that overlap with almost half of all DSBs. By contrast, ORIs do not colocalize with NDRs and they are regulated independently of DSBs. Physical relocation of NDRs at ectopic loci or modification of their genomic distribution during meiosis was paralleled by the generation of new DSB sites. Over 80% of all meiotic DSBs colocalize with NDRs that are also present during mitosis, indicating that the recombination pattern is largely dependent on constitutive properties of the genome and, to a lesser extent, on the transcriptional profile during meiosis. The organization of ORIs and of DSBs regions in S. pombe reveals similarities and differences relative to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Functional Topography of the Arabidopsis Genome is Defined by Nine Chromatin States that Associate in a Small Number of Motifs

Project description:Chromatin is of major relevance for gene expression, cell division and differentiation, among other processes. Here we have used 16 chromatin features, including DNA sequence, CG methylation, histone modifications and variants, to obtain a high-resolution landscape of the Arabidopsis chromatin states. The combinatorial complexity of chromatin features can be reduced to 9 states defined by their distinct signatures. These chromatin states preferentially associate with certain genomic elements, gene expression levels, and DNase I accessibility. Each chromatin state has strong propensity to associate with only a subset of other states defining a small number of chromatin motifs. These topographical relationships revealed that Polycomb chromatin physically separates the two heterochromatin states from active chromatin domains. Two paths that mainly differ in their GC content and gene density join active and Polycomb chromatin. The remaining states are associated with active genes: four of them spanning gene bodies and two located upstream of transcription start sites. Our data provide a ground for better understanding the Arabidopsis genome topography and for obtaining new insights into establishment of gene expression patterns, specification of DNA replication origins, and definition of chromatin domains.

Genome-wide mapping of human DNA-replication origins: levels of transcription at Orc1 sites regulate origin selection and replication timing

Project description:We report the genome-wide mapping of Orc1 binding-sites in mammals and their validation as active DNA-replication origins (ORIs). Orc1 sites are universally associated with transcription start sites (TSSs) of coding or non-coding RNAs. Transcription levels at the Orc1 sites directly correlate with replication timing, suggesting the existence of two classes of ORIs: those associated with moderate/high transcription levels (M-bM-^IM-%1 RNA copy/cell), replicating in early S and mapping to the TSSs of coding RNAs, and those associated with low transcription levels (<1 RNA copy/cell), replicating throughout the entire S and mapping to TSSs of non-coding RNAs. These findings are compatible with a scenario whereby TSS expression-levels influence the efficiency of Orc1 recruitment at G1 and the probability of firing during S.

Distinct H4-K20 methylation states time DNA replication initiation in mammalian cells

Project description:The role of histone modifications in DNA replication remains poorly understood. Here, we show that histone H4K20 monomethylation (me1) favors the assembly of the pre-replication complex on chromatin, an association that is increased when H4K20me1 is converted to trimethylation (H4K20me3). Remarkably, these histone methylations enhance origin activity, indicating a positive role in both origin licensing and activation. Genome-wide approaches revealed that H4K20me1 and H4K20me3 are enriched in distinct GC-rich regions, where their presence correlates with early-replicating and late-firing origins respectively. Accordingly, depletion of H4K20me1 at early origins delays the replication of active chromatin. Conversely, loss of H4K20me2/3 causes a drop in the licensing and activity of late-firing origins, slowing down the replication of heterochromatin. Altogether, these results suggest that the concerted activity of mammalian H4K20 methyltransferases and the resulting distribution of H4K20me states are essential to ensure the order and replication timing of different chromatin states.

Quantitative proteomics reveals proteins involved in the progression from non-cancerous lesions to gastric cancer

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most aggressive malignancy affecting the world population. With almost a million cases remains in fifth position in incidence, while reaching the third position in mortality. The progression of GC is slow with several prolonged and sequential precancerous stages, including chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia and finally gastric cancer. Here we used the iTRAQ chemistry in combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis to describe, from the proteomics point of view, the progression of the GC disease. Tissue samples from three stages: chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and gastric adenocarcinoma, were selected for the quantitative proteomics analysis. From four independent replicates we identified and reported quantitative data for 3,914 different proteins with at least two unique peptides confidently quantified in all replicates. We uncovered pathways and processes dysregulated between the different stages. The initial transformation is characterized by the down-regulation of ribosomes and the protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, while overexpressing cell survival pathway and proteins such as GSTP1 and EPCAM. The transformation to GC involved the activation of DNA replication and Spliceosome pathways, overexpression of proteins supporting high rates of proliferation such as NPM1. In GC SIRT3 and SIRT5 were down-regulated, which correlated with the impairment of the mitochondrial pathways and overexpression of enzymes supporting the glycolytic phenotype such as HK3 and PCK2. Several proteins found dysregulated between stages of the progression of GC has potential to be used as specific biomarkers and/or targets for therapeutic treatment.
