Rif1 functions in a tissue-specific manner to control replication timing through its PP1-binding motif

ABSTRACT: Replication initiation in eukaryotic cells occurs asynchronously throughout S phase, yielding early and late replicating regions of the genome, a process known as replication timing (RT). RT changes during development to ensure accurate genome duplication and maintain genome stability. To understand the relative contributions that cell lineage, cell cycle, and replication initiation regulators have on RT, we utilized the powerful developmental systems available in Drosophila melanogaster. We generated and compared RT profiles from mitotic cells of different tissues and from mitotic and endocycling cells of the same tissue. Our results demonstrate that cell lineage has the largest effect on RT, whereas switching from a mitotic to an endoreplicative cell cycle has little to no effect on RT. Additionally, we demonstrate that the RT differences we observed in all cases are largely independent of transcriptional differences. We also employed a genetic approach in these same cell types to understand the relative contribution the eukaryotic RT control factor, Rif1, has on RT control. Our results demonstrate that Rif1 can function in a tissue-specific manner to control RT. Importantly, the Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) binding motif of Rif1 is essential for Rif1 to regulate RT. Together, our data support a model in which the RT program is primarily driven by cell lineage and is further refined by Rif1/PP1 to ultimately generate tissue-specific RT programs.

Rif1 acts through Protein Phosphatase 1 and independent of replication timing to suppresses telomere extension in budding yeast

Project description:The Rif1 protein negatively regulates telomeric TG repeat length in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, but how it prevents telomere over-extension is unknown. Rif1 was recently shown to control DNA replication by acting as a Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1)-targeting subunit. Therefore we investigated whether Rif1 controls telomere length by targeting PP1 activity. We find that a Rif1 mutant that cannot interact with PP1 causes a long-telomere phenotype, similar to that of rif1∆ cells. Compromised PP1 function also causes telomere extension. Tethering PP1 at a specific telomere partially substitutes for Rif1 in limiting TG repeat length, confirming the importance of PP1 in telomere length control. Ablating Rif1-PP1 interaction leads to precocious activation of telomere-proximal replication origins and aberrantly early telomere replication. However, we find that Rif1 still limits telomere length even if nearby replication origins are deleted, indicating that effects of Rif1 on telomere length are not mediated through replication timing. Instead we find that, even at a telomere created after DNA synthesis during a mitotic block, Rif1-PP1 interaction is required to suppress telomere lengthening and prevent inappropriate recruitment of Tel1 kinase. Overall, our results show that Rif1 controls telomere length by recruiting PP1 to directly suppress telomerase-mediated TG repeat lengthening.

Nuclear organization and replication timing are coupled through RIF1-PP1 interaction

Project description:Three-dimensional genome organisation and replication timing are known to be correlated, however, it remains unknown whether nuclear architecture overall plays an instructive role in the replication-timing program and, if so, how. Here we demonstrate that RIF1 is a molecular hub that co-regulates both processes. Both nuclear organisation and replication timing depend upon the interaction between RIF1 and PP1. However, whereas nuclear architecture requires the full complement of RIF1 and its interaction with PP1, replication timing is not sensitive to RIF1 dosage. RIF1’s role in replication timing also extends beyond its interaction with PP1. Availing of this separation-of-function approach, we have therefore identified in RIF1 dual function the molecular bases of the co-dependency of the replication-timing program and nuclear architecture.

Replication timing analysis in polyploid cells reveals Rif1 uses multiple mechanisms to promote underreplication in Drosophila.

Project description:Regulation of DNA replication and copy number are necessary to promote genome stability and maintain cell and tissue function. DNA replication is regulated temporally in a process known as replication timing (RT). Rif1 is key regulator of RT and has a critical function in copy number control in polyploid cells. In a previous study (Munden et al., 2018), we demonstrated that Rif1 functions with SUUR to inhibit replication fork progression and promote underreplication of specific genomic regions. How Rif1-dependent control of RT factors into its ability to promote underreplication is unknown. By applying a computational approach to measure RT in Drosophila polyploid cells, we show that SUUR and Rif1 have differential roles in controlling underreplication and RT. Our findings reveal that Rif1 functions both upstream and downstream of SUUR to promote underreplication. Our work provides new mechanistic insight into the process of underreplication and its links to RT.

Rif1 Binding and Control of Chromosome-Internal DNA Replication Origins Is Limited by Telomere sequestration

Project description:The budding yeast telomere binding protein Rif1 (Rap1-interacting factor 1) plays an evolutionarily conserved role in the control of DNA replication timing, which operates through an interaction with the PP1 phosphatase. Rif1-PP1 has been proposed to inhibit origin firing by reversing the phosphorylation of key targets involved in replication initiation. However, it is not yet known if Rif1 binds directly to the replication origins that it controls. Here we show that in unperturbed yeast cells Rif1 primarily regulates late-replicating telomere-proximal origins. Using Chromatin Endogenous Cleavage (ChEC)-seq, we find that Rif1 is robustly detected at many late-replicating origins that we identify as targets of its inhibitory action. Abrogation of Rif1 telomere binding, through mutation of its Rap1 binding module, leads to increased Rif1 binding and late origin inhibition elsewhere in the genome. Our results support a model whereby Rif1 inhibits replication initiation by binding directly at origins, most of which are near telomeres, where Rif1 is concentrated through its interaction with telomere-bound Rap1 protein.

RIF1 regulates replication origin activity and early replication timing in B cells [PRO-seq]

Project description:The mammalian DNA replication timing (RT) program is crucial for the proper functioning and integrity of the genome. The best-known mechanism for controlling RT is the suppression of late origins of replication in heterochromatin by RIF1. Here, we report that in antigen-activated, hypermutating B lymphocytes, RIF1 binds predominantly to early-replicating active chromatin, regulates early origin firing and promotes early replication. However, RIF1 has a minor role in gene expression and genome organization in B cells. Furthermore, we find that RIF1 functions in a complementary and non-epistatic manner with minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins to establish early RT signatures genome-wide and, specifically, to ensure the early replication of highly transcribed genes. These findings reveal a new layer of regulation within the B cell RT program, driven by the coordinated activity of RIF1 and MCM proteins.
