The TRESLIN-MTBP complex couples completion of DNA replication with S/G2 transition

ABSTRACT: It has been proposed that ATR kinase senses the completion of DNA replication to initiate the S/G2 transition. In contrast to this model, we show here that the TRESLIN-MTBP complex prevents a premature entry into G2 from early S-phase independently of ATR/CHK1 kinases. TRESLIN-MTBP acts transiently at pre-replication complexes (preRCs) to initiate origin firing and is released after the subsequent recruitment of CDC45. This dynamic behavior of TRESLIN-MTBP implements a monitoring system that checks the activation of replication forks and senses the rate of origin firing to prevent the entry into G2. This system detects the decline in the number of origins of replication that naturally occurs in very late S, which is the signature that cells use to determine the completion of DNA replication and permit the S/G2 transition. Our work introduces TRESLIN-MTBP as a key player in cell cycle control independent of canonical checkpoints.

Project description:Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from multiple sites on each chromosome called replication origins. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, origins are defined at discrete sites. Regular spacing and diverse firing characteristics of origins are thought to be required for efficient completion of replication, especially in the presence of replication stress. However, a S. cerevisiae chromosome III harboring multiple origin deletions has been reported to replicate relatively normally, and yet how an origin-deficient chromosome could accomplish successful replication remains unkown. To address this issue, we deleted seven well-characterized origins from chromosome VI, and found that thsese deletions do not cause gross growth defects even in the presence of replication inhibitors. We demonstrated that the origin deletions do cause a strong decrease in the binding of the origin recognition complex. Unexpectedly, replication profiling of this chromosome showed that DNA replication initiates from non-canonical loci around deleted origins in yeast. These results suggest that replication initiation can be unexpectedly flexible in this organism. In this study, we aimed to establish an independent system to investigate how an origin-deficient chromosome is replicated. To this end, we systematically deleted seven well-characterized origins on the left arm of S. cerevisiae chromosome VI and analyzed (1) Orc2 localization during G2/M arrest and (2) BrdU incorporation during synchronous release from G1 arrest into S-phase, and compared the results to wild-type cell signals. For Orc2 ChIP-Chip experiments, Orc-bound DNA was isolated from Orc2-2Xlinker-3XFlag epitope-tagged cells arrested in G2/M using antibodies against Flag. For BrdU ChIP-Chip experiments, actively replicating DNA was isolated from cells harboring a single integrated BrdU incorporation vector released synchronously into 200mM HU using antibodies against BrdU. Immunoprecipitated and input (Orc2) or G1 (BrdU) DNA was then amplified and competitively hybridized to high-resolution strand-specific microarrays covering chromosomes III, VI, and XII.

Project description:To achieve faithful replication of the genome once in each cell cycle, re-initiation of S-phase is prevented in G2 and origins are restricted from re-firing within S-phase. We have investigated the block to re-replication during G2 in fission yeast. The DNA synthesis that occurs when G2/M cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) activity is depleted has been assumed to be repeated rounds of S-phase without mitosis but this has not been demonstrated to be the case. In a normal mitotic S-phase, the genome is uniformly replicated with no areas amplified relative to other regions, so there is an equal copy number of each portion of the genome. To determine whether equal rounds of replication or local amplification occurred in the cdc13 s/o strain we assayed genomic DNA from cells which had increased their DNA content to 16C-32C. Using microarrays, we measured the relative DNA content across the genome, using DNA from control G1-arrested cells as a reference. This experiment revealed that replication was essentially equal across the genome, with no region becoming significantly amplified to a higher copy number than any other. Since the genome was found to be essentially evenly replicated as would be expected if each round of replication corresponded to a normal S-phase, we investigated whether this was the result of a normal replication program at the level of origin firing. We asked whether S-phase origins are used to reduplicate the genome, and whether origins are used with the same efficiency as in wild type cells. We identified the origins utilized in the first endoreduplication cycle of cdc13 s/o using microarray analyses of cells treated with 11 mM HU. Samples were taken at 5 hours when most cells of the culture not treated with HU had undergone a doubling in DNA content. A total of 799 origins were identified, a number roughly similar to the 904 identified in a normal S-phase. We show here that on G2/M CDK depletion in G2, repeated S-phases are induced. Mostly normal mitotic S-phase origins were utilized although at different efficiencies, and replication was essentially equal across the genome. We conclude that CDK inhibits re-initiation of S-phase during G2, and if G2/M CDK is depleted replication results from induction of a largely normal S-phase program with only small differences in origin usage and efficiency.
