Project description:Background: Eukaryotic cells must inhibit re-initiation of DNA replication at each of the thousands of origins in their genome because re-initiation events can generate genomic alterations with extraordinary frequency. To minimize the probability of re-initiation from so many origins, cells use a battery of regulatory mechanisms that reduce the activity of replication initiation proteins. Given the global nature of these mechanisms, it has been presumed that all origins are inhibited identically. However, transiently disabling these mechanisms causes replication origins to re-initiate with diverse efficiencies, which do not correlate with known differences in the efficiency or timing of origin initiation during normal DNA replication. These observations suggest an additional local layer of replication control that can differentially influence how re-initiation is regulated at distinct origins. Principal Findings: We have identified novel genetic elements that are necessary for preferential re-initiation of two origins and sufficient to confer preferential re-initiation on heterologous origins when the control of re-initiation is partially deregulated. The elements do not enhance the S phase timing or efficiency of adjacent origins and thus are specifically acting as re-initiation promoters (RIPs). We have mapped the two RIPs to ~60bp AT rich sequences that act in a distance- and sequence-dependent manner. During the induction of re-replication, Mcm2-7 re-associates both with origins that preferentially re-initiate and origins that do not, suggesting that the RIP elements can overcome a block to re-initiation imposed after Mcm2-7 associates with origins. Conclusions/Significance: We have uncovered a local level of control in the block to re-initiation. This local control creates a complex genomic landscape of re-replication potential that is revealed when global mechanisms preventing re-replication are peeled away. Hence, if re-replication does contribute to genomic alterations, as has been speculated for cancer cells, some regions of the genome may be more susceptible to these alterations than others. 142 array CGH experiments are presented. Each experiment is done in experimental replicate. Cells grown as described in Richardson CD and Li JJ PLoS Genetics 2014. Ch1 samples taken from replicating (S phase) or re-replicating (M phase + 3/6 hour induced). Ch2 samples taken from M phase arrested DNA.

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.

Project description:DNA replication must be tightly controlled during each cell cycle to prevent unscheduled replication and ensure proper genome maintenance. The currently known controls that prevent re-replication act redundantly to inhibit pre-Replicative Complex (pre-RC) assembly outside of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. We have analyzed the effects of re-replication on the S. cerevisiae genome using a combination of Comparitive Genomic Hybridization (CGH) of re-replicating strains and Genome-Wide Location Analysis of pre-RC components. These data indicate which sites in the genome assemble pre-RCs under re-replication conditions, which sites undergo re-initiation and the extent of re-replication.

Project description:Genomic integrity requires faithful chromosome duplication. Origins of replication are the genomic sites where DNA replication initiates in every cell cycle. There are multiple origins scattered throughout the eukaryotic genome whose genome-wide identification has been a hard challenge, especially in multicellular organisms. Thus, very little is known on the distinctive features of origins in terms of DNA sequence and chromatin context at a genomic scale. As part of a project for profiling replication origins in Arabidopsis thaliana, we have performed ChIP-chip analysis of the binding of ORC1 and CDC6, two proteins involved in initiation of DNA replication. Here, we provide the data of the ORC1-bound and CDC6-bound genomic sites using as control genomic DNA.

There are multiple origins scattered throughout the eukaryotic genome whose genome-wide identification has been a hard challenge, especially in multicellular organisms. Thus, very little is known on the distinctive features of origins in terms of DNA sequence and chromatin context at a genomic scale. Here we have profiled origins in Arabidopsis thaliana by high-throughput sequencing of purified nascent DNA strands. We have identified 1543 replication origins, which were uniformly distributed across the Arabidopsis genome and enriched in binding signals of two replication initiation proteins, CDC6 and ORC1. We have also analyzed novel epigenome maps of various histone modifications and found links between origins and epigenetic signatures, which differ from or have not been reported for other eukaryotic systems. Arabidopsis origins tend to be embedded in G+C-rich regions within the 5’ half of genes, enriched in histone H2A.Z, H3K4me2/3 and acetylated H3 and H4, and depleted of H3K4me1 and H3K9me2. Our data establish the basis for the understanding of the epigenetic specification of origins of replication in Arabidopsis and have implications for the mechanisms of origin specification in other eukaryotes.

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:During S-phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle, controls exist to ensure that replication origins fire only once and become inactivated after traverse of a replication fork. Failure of these controls results in local amplification of the genome which can lead to gene copy increases important for both evolutionary change and for somatic genetic diseases such as cancer. It is not known what characteristics of replication origins might predispose them to escape from these controls. We have investigated this problem in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by characterizing regions of the genome which become amplified when the DNA synthesis initiation factors cdc18 (cdc6) and cdt1 are co-overexpressed and by defining origins of replication responsible for local amplification. We find that a single origin can be necessary but not sufficient to induce ectopic local amplification and that origins likely to escape the regulation of one firing per cell cycle are among the most AT-rich, efficient and early firing in the genome, and are embedded in long intergenes. Replication origins with these features may be more prone to re-fire within a round of replication potentiating genome instability.
