Checkpoint inhibition of origin firing prevents inappropriate replication in G2/M phase.

ABSTRACT: Across eukaryotes, checkpoints maintain the order of cell cycle events in the face of DNA damage or incomplete replication. Although a wide array of DNA lesions activates the checkpoint kinases, whether and how this response differs in different phases of the cell cycle remains poorly understood. The S-phase checkpoint for example results in the slowing of replication, which in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is caused by Rad53 kinase-dependent inhibition of the initiation factors Sld3 and Dbf4. Despite this, we show here that Rad53 phosphorylates both of these substrates throughout the cell cycle at the same sites as in S-phase, suggesting roles for this pathway beyond S-phase. Indeed we show that Rad53-dependent inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 limits re-replication in G2/M phase, preventing inappropriate gene amplification events. In addition we show that inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 after DNA damage in G1 phase prevents premature replication initiation at all origins at the G1/S transition. This study redefines the scope and specificity of the ‘S-phase checkpoint’ with implications for understanding the roles of this checkpoint in the majority of cancers that lack proper cell cycle controls.

Checkpoint inhibition of origin firing prevents inappropriate replication outside of S-phase

Project description:Across eukaryotes, checkpoints maintain the order of cell cycle events in the face of DNA damage or incomplete replication. Although a wide array of DNA lesions activates the checkpoint kinases, whether and how this response differs in different phases of the cell cycle remains poorly understood. The S-phase checkpoint for example results in the slowing of replication, which in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is caused by Rad53 kinase-dependent inhibition of the initiation factors Sld3 and Dbf4.

Indeed we show that Rad53-dependent inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 limits re-replication in G2/M phase, preventing inappropriate gene amplification events. In addition we show that inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 after DNA damage in G1 phase prevents premature replication initiation at all origins at the G1/S transition. This study redefines the scope and specificity of the ‘S-phase checkpoint’ with implications for understanding the roles of this checkpoint in the majority of cancers that lack proper cell cycle controls.

Helicase subunit Cdc45 targets the checkpoint kinase Rad53 to both replication initiation and elongation complexes after fork stalling

Project description:Across eukaryotes, inhibition of the progression of the DNA replication machinery causes an S-phase checkpoint response. This response regulates multiple processes, including inhibition of replication initiation and fork stabilisation. How these events are coordinated remains poorly understood. Here we show that the replicative helicase component Cdc45 targets the checkpoint kinase Rad53 to distinct replication complexes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rad53 binds to FHA-interaction motifs in an unstructured loop region of Cdc45, which is phosphorylated by Rad53 itself, and this interaction is necessary for the inhibition of origin firing through Sld3. In addition to regulating replication initiation, Cdc45 also recruits Rad53 to stalled replication forks, which we demonstrate is important for the response to replication stress. Finally we show that a Cdc45 mutation that is orthologous to an allele found in patients with Meier-Gorlin Syndrome disrupts the functional interaction with Rad53. Together we present a single mechanism by which Rad53 targets replication initiation and elongation complexes, which may be relevant to human disease.

Origin-Dependent DNA Replication in vitro: Insights into DDK and S-CDK function and Replisome Assembly

Project description:Initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires temporal separation of helicase loading from helicase activation and replisome assembly. Using an in vitro assay for eukaryotic origin-dependent replication initiation, we investigated the control of these events. After helicase loading, we found that the Dbf4-dependent Cdc7 kinase (DDK) initially drives origin recruitment of Sld3 and the Cdc45 helicase-activating protein. Corresponding in vivo studies found that DDK was required for Cdc45 binding at early origins during G1. Upon activation of S-phase cyclin-dependent kinases (S-CDK), a second helicase-activating protein (GINS) and the remainder of the replisome are recruited to the origin. Investigation of DNA polymerase recruitment showed that Mcm10 and DNA unwinding both were critical for recruitment of the lagging but not leading strand DNA polymerases. Our studies identify distinct roles for DDK and S-CDK during helicase activation and support a model in which the leading strand DNA polymerase is recruited prior to DNA unwinding and initial RNA primer synthesis. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) against Cdc45 in CDC7 and cdc7-4 cells arrested in G1 phase to assess the requirement of the Dbf4-dependent kinase on the recruitment of Cdc45 to origin DNA during G1.

Kinetochores coordinate pericentromeric cohesion and early DNA replication by Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase recruitment

Project description:Centromeres play several important roles in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Not only do they promote kinetochore assembly for microtubule attachment, but they also support robust sister chromatid cohesion at pericentromeres and facilitate replication of centromeric DNA early in S phase. However, it is still elusive how centromeres orchestrate all these functions at the same site. Here we show that the budding yeast Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) accumulates at kinetochores in telophase, facilitated by the Ctf19 kinetochore complex. This promptly recruits Sld3-Sld7 replication initiator proteins to pericentromeric replication origins so that they initiate replication early in S phase. Furthermore DDK at kinetochores independently recruits the Scc2-Scc4 cohesin loader to centromeres in G1 phase. This enhances cohesin loading and facilitates robust pericentromeric cohesion in S phase. Thus, we have found the central mechanism by which kinetochores orchestrate early S phase DNA replication and robust sister chromatid cohesion at microtubule attachment sites. Measurement of genome replication time for various S. cerevisiae strains. For each strain two samples were analysed: a replicating sample (from S phase) and a non-replicating sample (from G2 phase).

Differential regulation of SBF and MBF target genes by genotoxic stress occurs via Rad53-dependent inactivation of the MBF correpressor Nrm1

Project description:MBF and SBF transcription factors regulate a large family of coordinately expressed G1/S genes required for early cell cycle functions including DNA replication and repair. SBF is inactivated upon S phase entry by Clb/CDK whereas MBF targets are repressed by the corepressor, Nrm1. Using genome-wide expression analysis, we show that genotoxic stress during S phase specifically induces MBF-regulated genes via direct phosphorylation of Nrm1 by Rad53, the effector checkpoint kinase, and prevents its binding to MBF target promoters. Interestingly, some previously defined targets of SBF, including Swe1, are activated by replication stress. Swe1 undergoes a transcription factor exchange leading to its repression by Nrm1/MBF, which renders it sensitive to derepression by the S phase checkpoint. We conclude that MBF-regulated genes are distinguished from SBF-regulated genes by their sensitivity to activation by the S phase checkpoint, thereby, providing an effective mechanism for enhancing DNA replication and repair and promoting genome stability. Modified Loop Time-series design, time points at 0, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes. Conditions are untreated (UT), methyl methane sulfonate (MMS-0.033%), camptothecin (CPT-50uM), and hydroxyurea (HU-0.2M)

Checkpoints Couple Transcription Network Oscillator Dynamics to Cell-Cycle Progression

Project description:Yeast cell cycle transcript dynamics in three S. cerevisiae strains grown at 30 degrees Celsius: cdc20 GALL-CDC20 (persistent mitotic CDK activity; CDK on), cdc8-ts (DNA replication checkpoint), GAL-cse4-353 (spindle assembly checkpoint), cdc8-ts cdc20 (DNA replication checkpoint, CDK on), and cdc8-ts cdc20, rad53-1 (DNA replication checkpoint without Rad53 activity, CDK on) in a BF264-15DU background. We compared transcript levels of genes previously shown to be periodically expressed in wild-type cells and in cells lacking all mitotic cyclins (clb1,2,3,4,5,6; CDK off). Two replicate time courses for each of the strains studied are included

DNA replication stress differentially regulates G1/S genes via Rad53-dependent inactivation of Nrm1

Project description:MBF and SBF transcription factors regulate a large family of coordinately expressed G1/S genes required for early cell-cycle functions including DNA replication and repair. SBF is inactivated upon S-phase entry by Clb/CDK whereas MBF targets are repressed by the co-repressor, Nrm1. Using genome-wide expression analysis of cells treated with methyl methane sulfonate (MMS), hydroxyurea (HU) or camptothecin (CPT), we show that genotoxic stress during S phase specifically induces MBF-regulated genes. This occurs via direct phosphorylation of Nrm1 by Rad53, the effector checkpoint kinase, which prevents its binding to MBF target promoters. We conclude that MBF-regulated genes are distinguished from SBF-regulated genes by their sensitivity to activation by the S-phase checkpoint, thereby, providing an effective mechanism for enhancing DNA replication and repair and promoting genome stability.

Mec1 is activated at the onset of normal S phase by low dNTP pools impeding DNA replication [microarray]

Project description:The Mec1 and Rad53 kinases play a central role during acute replication stress in budding yeast. They are also essential for viability in normal growth conditions, but the signal that activates the Mec1–Rad53 pathway in the absence of exogenous insults is currently unknown. Here, we show that this pathway is active at the onset of normal S phase because dNTP levels present in G1 phase are not sufficient to support processive DNA synthesis and impede DNA replication. This activation can be suppressed experimentally by increasing dNTP levels in G1 phase. Moreover, we show that unchallenged cells entering S phase in the absence of Rad53 undergo irreversible fork collapse and mitotic catastrophe. Together, these data indicate that cells use dNTP shortage to detect the onset of DNA replication and activate the Mec1–Rad53 pathway, which in turn maintains functional forks and triggers dNTP synthesis, allowing the completion of DNA replication.
