Project description:Stepwise chromatin loading of MCM hexamers toward onset of DNA replication
| PRJNA662948 | ENA
Project description:The minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM) DNA helicase is an important replicative factor during DNA replication. The proper chromatin loading of MCM is a key step to ensure replication initiation during G1/S phase. Because replication initiation is regulated by multiple biological cues, additional changes to MCM may provide deeper understanding towards this event. Here, we uncover that the histidine methyltransferase SETD3 promotes DNA replication in an enzymatic activity dependent manner. Nascent-strand sequencing (NS-seq) shows that SETD3 regulates replication initiation, as depletion of SETD3 attenuates early replication origins firing. Mechanistically, biochemical experiments reveal that SETD3 binds MCM mainly during G1/S phase, which is required for CDT1-mediated chromatin loading of MCM. The MCM loading relies on the histidine-459 methylation (H459me) on MCM7 that is catalyzed by SETD3. Impairment of H459 methylation attenuates DNA synthesis and chromatin loading of MCM. Furthermore, we show that CDK2 phosphorylates SETD3 at Serine-21 during the G1/S phase, which is required for DNA replication and cell cycle progression. These findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which SETD3 methylates MCM to regulate replication initiation.

Project description:The hexameric DNA helicase MCM (Mcm2-7) is a central regulatory target in eukaryotic replication. Chromatin-bound MCM is kept inactive during G1 phase and subsequently activated in S phase to initiate replication. During this transition, the only known chemical change on the Mcm2-7 proteins is the gain of multi-site phosphorylation that promotes recruitment of co-factors. As replication initiation is tied intimately to multiple biological cues, additional changes on these proteins can provide a second regulatory point. Here we describe a new MCM modification cycle mediated by SUMO that enables a negative regulation of replication initiation. We show that all MCM subunits undergo sumoylation upon loading at origins in G1 phase prior to MCM phosphorylation. Then bulk MCM sumoylation is lost as MCM phosphorylation rises. The pattern of MCM sumoylation suggests a negative role in replication. Indeed, increasing MCM sumoylation delays genome-wide replication initiation. Mechanistically, this is partly due to enhancing the recruitment of a conserved phosphatase that delays MCM phosphorylation and activation. By revealing a new MCM modification cycle and its role in replication, our findings suggest a new model, in which MCM sumoylation counterbalances kinase-based regulation to ensure accurate control of replication initiation.

Project description:Mono-methylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me1) is increasingly appreciated to be critical for regulating genomic DNA replication, cell cycle progression and DNA damage repair. How exactly H4K20me1 regulates these biological processes remains murky. Here, we report that an evolutionarily conserved tandem Tudor domain (TTD) in the BAH Domain And Coiled-Coil Containing 1 (BAHCC1) protein (BAHCC1_TTD) selectively reads H4K20me1 for facilitating the replication origin activation and efficient DNA replication. Our integrated biochemical, structural, genomic and cellular analyses demonstrated that BAHCC1_TTD preferentially recognizes H4K20me1 to promote the recruitment of BAHCC1 and its interacting partners, notably the Mini-chromosome Maintenance (MCM) complex, to the replication origin sites. Combined actions of the H4K20me1-reading BAHCC1 and the H4K20me2-reading Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) ensure optimal genomic loading of MCM complexes for facilitating DNA replication. Depletion of BAHCC1, or disruption of the BAHCC1_TTD:H4K20me1 interaction, reduces levels of H4K20me1 and MCM loading, leading to defects in replication and cell cycle progression. Together, this study identifies BAHCC1_TTD as a conserved effector transducing the H4K20me1 signals to the recruitment of MCM complexes for facilitating efficient DNA replication.

Project description:Methylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20), such as H4K20 mono-methylation (H4K20me1), regulates the biological processes of DNA replication, cell cycle progression, and DNA damage repair. Whereas H4K20me1 is knowingly written by SET8 (also known as PR-Set7) and erased by PHF8 (also known as KDM7B), the mechanism underlying H4K20me1-mediated regulation of DNA replication remains murky. Here, we report that a conserved tandem Tudor domain of BAHCC1 (BAHCC1TTD) specifically reads H4K20me1. Our biochemical, structural and cellular analyses demonstrated that the recognition of H4K20me1 by BAHCC1TTD facilitates the BAHCC1 recruitment onto the replication origins, where BAHCC1 interacts and recruits components of Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) complex, a critical partner machinery of Origin Replication Complex (ORC) for mediating DNA replication. Combined actions of the H4K20me1-reading BAHCC1 and the H4K20me2-reading ORC ensure optimal genomic loading of MCM proteins. Depletion of BAHCC1, or disruption of BAHCC1TTD:H4K20me1 interaction, affected H4K20me1 homeostasis and MCM complex loading, leading to impaired DNA replication and defective cell cycle progression. Together, this study identifies a conserved BAHCC1TTD as an effector linking H4K20me1 to MCM recruitment for efficient DNA replication.

Project description:Eukaryotic genomes are compacted into loops and topologically associating domains (TADs), which contribute to transcription, recombination and genomic stability. Cohesin extrudes DNA into loops that are thought to lengthen until it encounters CTCF boundaries. Little is known whether loop extrusion is impeded by macromolecular machines. We demonstrate that the replicative helicase MCM is a barrier that restricts loops and TADs in G1 phase. Single-nucleus Hi-C of one-cell embryos revealed that MCM loading reduces CTCF-anchored loops and increases TAD boundary insulation, suggesting loop extrusion is impeded before reaching CTCF. Single-molecule imaging provides evidence that MCM are physical barriers that constrain cohesin translocation in vitro. Simulations are consistent with MCM as abundant, random barriers with low permeability. We conclude that distinct loop extrusion barriers contribute to shaping 3D genomes.
