Mechanisms of MCM2-7 loading and initial DNA melting at near base-pair resolution

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition.In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS).This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer(DH).In S-phase the MCM2-7DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS(CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork.Here,we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC fromo rigins.This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome.Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element.Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion.Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.

Mechanisms of MCM2-7 loading and initial DNA melting at near base-pair resolution [ssDNA PIP-Seq]

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition. In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS). This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer (DH). In S-phase the MCM2-7 DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork. Here, we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC from origins. This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome. Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element. Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion. Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.

Mechanisms of MCM2-7 helicase activation and initial DNA melting at near base-pair resolution

Project description:During eukaryotic DNA replication initiation, inactive MCM2-7 double-hexamers assembled at replication origins must be converted into two active CMG helicases, yet how this transition is coupled to origin DNA unwinding in vivo remains unclear. Here, we identify a DNA-bound intermediate with an extended genomic footprint that forms during helicase activation. Genome-wide mapping of initial strand separation reveals that DNA unwinding initiates near the N-terminal interface of opposing MCM2-7 hexamers. At these sites, the origin DNA exhibits a conserved AT-rich/GC-rich/AT-rich sequence architecture centred under the helicase complex, which is associated with an elevated DNA melting probability. We further show that restricting hexamer splitting delays release of the Cdc45-loading factor Sld3, demonstrating that mechanical transitions during helicase activation are tightly coupled to complex disassembly. Finally, we provide in vivo evidence that single-stranded DNA is ejected through a specialised DNA exit gate at the Mcm2/5 interface during helicase activation, which is dispensable for ongoing DNA synthesis. Together, these findings establish a mechanistic framework for how replication origins are remodelled to initiate DNA replication and reveal key intermediates and DNA transactions during helicase activation.
