Dormant origins and fork protection mechanisms rescue sister forks arrested by transcription

ABSTRACT: Yeast Sen1Senataxin is a RNA/DNA helicase that preserves replication forks across RNA Polymerase II-transcribed genes by counteracting RNA:DNA hybrids accumulation. We show that in Sen1-depleted cells early forks clashing head-on with transcription halt, and impair progression of sister forks within the same replicon. Unsolved replication-transcription collisions trigger the local firing of dormant origins that rescue arrested forks. In sen1 mutants the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes protect those forks clashing with transcription by preventing genotoxic fork-resection events mediated by the Exo1 nuclease. Hence, sister forks within the same replicon remain coupled when one of the two forks halts. This is different when forks encounter double strand breaks. Moreover, the local firing of dormant origins is not prevented by checkpoint activation but depends on delayed adjacent forks. Furthermore, a productive head-on clash between replication and transcription requires the tuning of origin firing and coordination between Sen1, the MRX and Mrc1/Ctf4-complexes and Exo1.

Genome-wide ChIP-chip Rad50 in early S-phase in the presence of hydroxyurea

Project description:The Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex is related to SMC complexes that form rings capable of holding two distinct DNA strands together. MRX functions at stalled replication forks and double-strand breaks (DSB). A mutation in the N-terminal OB-fold of the 70-kD subunit of yeast replication protein A, rfa1-t11, abrogates MRX recruitment to both types of damage. The rfa1 mutation is functionally epistatic with loss of any of the MRX subunits for survival of replication fork stress or DSB recovery, although it does not compromise end resection. High resolution imaging shows that either the rfa1-t11 or the rad50 mutation lets stalled replication forks collapse, and allows the separation not only of opposing ends, but of sister chromatids at breaks. Given that cohesin loss does not provoke visible sister separation as long as the RPA -MRX contacts are intact, we conclude that MRX also serves as a structural lynchpin of sister chromatids at breaks. Rad50 is a member of the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex which is known to associate to replication forks under hydroxyurea-stress condition. Using ChIP-chip, we show that MRX recruitment to replication forks partially rely on Rfa1 (RPA) at the genome-wide level.

Mrc1 marks early-firing origins and coordinates timing and efficiency of initiation in fission yeast

Project description:How early- and late-firing origins are selected on eukaryotic chromosomes is largely unknown. Here we show that Mrc1, a conserved factor required for stabilization of stalled replication forks, selectively binds to the early-firing origins in a manner independent of Cdc45 and Hsk1 kinase in fission yeast. In mrc1∆ (and in swi1∆ to some extent), efficiency of firing is stimulated and its timing is advanced selectively at those origins that are normally bound by Mrc1. In contrast, the late or inefficient origins which are not bound by Mrc1 are not activated in mrc1∆. The enhanced firing and precocious Cdc45 loading at Mrc1-bound early-firing origins are not observed in a checkpoint mutant of mrc1, suggesting that non-checkpoint function is involved in maintaining the normal program of early-firing origins. We propose that pre-firing binding of Mrc1 is an important marker of early-firing origins which are precociously activated by the absence this protein. Mrc1 binding profiles at G1/S boundary or early S-phase in wild type vs hsk1-89 mutant.

Checkpoint-independent Regulation of Origin Firing by Mrc1 through Interaction with Hsk1 kinase

Project description:Mrc1 is a conserved checkpoint mediator protein that transduces replication-stress signal to downstream effector kinase. Loss of mrc1 checkpoint activity results in aberrant activation of late/dormant origins in the presence of hydroxyurea. Mrc1 was also suggested to regulate orders of early-origin firing in a checkpoint-independent manner, but its mechanism was unknown. Here we identify HBS (Hsk1 Bypass Segment) on Mrc1. ∆HBS does not suppress late/dormant origin firing in the presence of hydroxyurea but causes precocious and enhanced activation of weak early-firing origins during normal S-phase progression, and bypasses the requirement of Hsk1 for growth. This may be caused by disruption of intramolecular binding between HBS and NTHBS (N-terminal-Target-of-HBS). Hsk1 binds to Mrc1 through HBS and phosphorylates a segment adjacent to NTHBS, disrupting intramolecular interaction. We propose that Mrc1 exerts “brake” on initiation (through intra-molecular interaction) and this brake can be released (upon loss of intra-molecular interaction) by either Hsk1-mediated phosphorylation of Mrc1 or deletion of HBS (or phosphomimic mutation) which can bypass the function of Hsk1 for growth. The “brake” mechanism may explain the checkpoint-independent regulation of early origin firing in fission yeast.

Cohesin and cohesion establishment factors distribution on S.Cerevisiae chromosome VI during the cell cycle

Project description:Two identical sister copies of eukaryotic chromosomes are synthesised during S-phase. To facilitate their recognition as pairs for segregation in mitosis, sister chromatids are held together from their synthesis onwards by the chromosomal cohesin complex. It is thought that replication fork progression is coupled to establishment of sister chromatid cohesion, thus facilitating identification of replication products, but evidence for this has remained circumstantial. Here we show that three proteins required for sister chromatid cohesion, Eco1, Ctf4 and Ctf18 are found close to, and Ctf4 travels along chromosomes with replication forks. The ring-shaped cohesin complex is loaded onto chromosomes before S-phase in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent reaction. Cohesion establishment during DNA replication follows without further cohesin recruitment, and without need for cohesin to re-engage an ATP hydrolysis motif that is critical for its initial DNA binding. This provides evidence for cohesion establishment in the context of replication forks and imposes constraints on the mechanism involved. Keywords: ChIP on chip

Chromatin structure governs stalled replication fork processing and cohesin loading

Project description:The progression of replication forks (RFs) can be challenged by obstacles of endogenous or exogenous origin. Stalled forks need to be readily stabilized and restarted in order to prevent genomic instability. Replication fork restart requires the recruitment of multiple enzymes and involves different DNA transactions. The MRX (Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2) complex plays a central role in this process. It has been implicated in the nucleolytic degradation of nascent DNA and in the loading of cohesin at stalled forks. However, little is known on how these functions are regulated. Here we show that MRX structural features are predominant on the nuclease activity of Mre11 for DNA resection at stalled replication forks. This results raise the question of the mechanisms by which MRX promotes nascent strand resection. At DNA double strand breaks (DSB) MRX promotes the binding of the chromatin remodeler RSC, from which the activity is required for 5’ end resection. Interestingly, MRX mutants exhibit increased nucleosome occupancy at stalled replication forks. This result suggest that a dynamic chromatin structure promoted by MRX could be required for the processing of stalled replication forks. Strinkingly the absence of two histones modifiers Gcn5 and Set1 recapitulates the phenotype of MRX mutants both on chromatin structure and nascent strand resection at stalled forks even though they are dispensable for its recruitment. Since nucleosomes also represent obstacles for the loading of SMC complexes on DNA, it is coherent that we observed that cohesin is no longer recruited at stalled forks in gcn5 and set1, as in MRX mutants. Together our data suggest that the regulation of chromatin structure at stalled replication forks is essential for their processing and to promote genome stability.

Ctf4 links DNA replication with sister chromatid cohesion establishment by recruiting the Chl1 helicase to the replisome

Project description:DNA replication during S-phase is accompanied by establishment of sister chromatid cohesion to ensure faithful chromosome segregation. The Eco1 acetyltransferase, helped by factors including Ctf4 and Chl1, concomitantly acetylates the chromosomal cohesin complex to stabilize its cohesive links. Here we show that Ctf4 recruits the Chl1 helicase to the replisome via a conserved interaction motif that Chl1 shares with GINS and polymerase α. We visualize recruitment by EM analysis of a reconstituted Chl1-Ctf4-GINS assembly. The Chl1 helicase facilitates replication fork progression under conditions of nucleotide depletion, however this function does not require Ctf4 interaction. Conversely, Ctf4 interaction, but not helicase activity, is required for Chl1’s role in sister chromatid cohesion. A physical interaction between Chl1 and the cohesin complex during S-phase suggests that Chl1 contacts cohesin to facilitate its acetylation. Our results reveal how Ctf4 forms a replisomal interaction hub that coordinates replication fork progression and sister chromatid cohesion establishment.

Senataxin associates with replication forks to protect fork integrity across RNAPII transcribed genes

Project description:Here we analysed the role of yeast Senataxin (Sen1) in coordinating replication with transcription and in protecting genome integrity. Senataxin is mutated in the two severe neurodegenerative diseases AOA2 and ALS4. We show that a fraction of Sen1/Senataxin DNA/RNA helicase associates with replication forks and protects the integrity of those fork encountering highly expressed RNAPII genes. sen1 mutants accumulate aberrant DNA structures and RNA-DNA hybrids while forks clash head-on with RNAPII transcription units and counteract recombinogenic events and accumulation of checkpoint signals. Nrd1, which acts togheter with Sen1 in trascription temination, is not recruited at replication forks. nrd1 mutants does not display replication defects, high genome instability and checkpoint activation observed in sen1 mutants The Sen1 function in replication can be therefore separable from its role in RNA processing. We propose a role for Sen1/Senataxin during chromosome replication in facilitating replisome progression across RNAPII transcribed genes thus preventing DNA-RNA hybrids accumulation when forks encounter nascent transcripts on the lagging strand template. Chip on chip analysis was carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2011), employing anti-Flag monoclonal antibody M2 (Sigma-Aldrich) Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Sen1 and Rrm3 ensure permissive topological conditions for replication termination [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Replication forks terminate at TERs and telomeres. Forks that converge or encounter transcription generate topological stress. Combining genetic, genomic and imaging approaches we found that Rrm3hPif1 and Sen1hSenataxin helicases assist termination at TERs, Sen1 at telomeres. rrm3 and sen1 are synthetic lethal, fail to terminate replication exhibiting lagging chromosomes and fragility at TERs and telomeres. sen1 rrm3 build up RNA-DNA hybrids at TERs, sen1 accumulates RNPII at TERs and telomeres. Double mutants exhibit X-shaped gapped or reversed converging forks. Rrm3 and Sen1 restrain Top1 and Top2 activities, preventing toxic accumulation of positive supercoil at TERs and telomeres. We suggest that Rrm3 and Sen1 coordinate the activities of fork-associated Top1 and Top2 with those of gene loop-associated Top1 and Top2 by preventing DNA and RNA polymerases slowing down when forks encounter transcription head-on or codirectionally, respectively. Hence Rrm3 and Sen1 are essential to generate permissive topological conditions for replication termination.
