Pluripotency factor OCT4 enhances the firing efficiency of late DNA replication origins in mouse em-bryonic stem cells [EdUseq]

ABSTRACT: DNA replication initiates at specific genomic regions known as initiation zones (IZs), which follow a defined spatiotemporal program partially dependent on cell type. Here, we examined the replication initiation patterns of pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which are characterized by a very short G1 phase and rapid entry into S phase. Using EdU-seq combined with cell cycle synchroni-zation and Repli-seq, we identified IZs, that are activated during S phase in mESCs and classified them as early, mid, or late, according to the replication timing (RT) domain to which they mapped. Remarka-bly, we found that some IZs mapping to mid or late RT domains were activated within 1–2 hours of entry into S phase. Chromatin and nascent transcriptome profiling revealed that these IZs were associated with regions of open chromatin structure that were bound by the pluripotency factor OCT4. Transient OCT4 depletion was associated with reduced chromatin accessibility and replication initiation efficiency at these sites. These results provide an example of a pioneer factor, OCT4, facilitating DNA replication initiation by promoting local chromatin accessibility.

Polymerase-Usage Sequencing Identifies Initiation Zones With Less Bias Throughout S phase in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:In mammalian cells, DNA replication can initiate from various locations even in different cycles of the same cell of origin. Various methods have been developed to map replication initiation zones (IZs) genome-wide, often finding IZs far less than expected considering the replication fork speed and genome size. In particular, IZs for later stages of S phase are under-represented, potentially due to reduced initiation events at this stage, but also likely to be due to variability in the population, requiring higher sensitivity of the methods. However, to what degree these factors contribute to the data, have not been investigated in detail. Mouse ES cells present similar density of replication initiation events throughout S phase, unlike non-ES cells. Here, we re-analyzed IZs with respect to replication timing within S phase, using data sets previously obtained for mouse ES cells. These data sets identified over 5-fold more early IZs compared to late IZs, suggesting that more than 80% of late IZs are missed. In addition, by newly establishing cell lines to carry out polymerase-usage sequencing (Pu-seq), we mapped IZs genome-wide in mouse ES cells. Pu-seq presented less bias towards early IZs, suggesting that better sensitivity for identifying IZs in late S phase.

Cohesin-mediated loop anchors confine the location of human replication origins

Project description:DNA replication occurs through an intricately regulated series of molecular events and is fundamental for genome stability. It is currently unknown how the location of replication origins is determined in the human genome. Here, we dissect the role for topologically associating domains (TADs), subTADs, and loops in the positioning of replication initiation zones (IZs). We stratify TADs/subTADs by the presence of corner-dots indicative of loops and the orientation of CTCF motifs. We find that high-efficiency, early replicating IZs localize to boundaries between adjacent corner-dot TADs anchored by high-density arrays of divergently and convergently-oriented CTCF motifs. By contrast, low-efficiency IZs localize to weak boundaries devoid of CTCF and corner-dots. Upon ablation of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in G1, high-efficiency IZs become diffuse and de-localized specifically at boundaries with complex CTCF motif orientation. Moreover, G1 knock-down of the cohesin unloading factor WAPL results in gained long-range loops and narrowed localization of IZs at the same boundaries. Finally, targeted deletion or insertion of specific boundaries causes local replication timing shifts consistent with loss and gain of IZs, respectively. Our data support a model in which cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and stalling at a subset of genetically-encoded TAD/subTAD boundaries is an essential determinant of the precise location of replication initiation in human S phase.

Rif1 regulates the replication timing domains on the human genome

Project description:DNA replication is spatially and temporally regulated during S-phase. DNA replication timing is established in early G1-phase at a point referred to as TDP (timing decision point). We show that Rif1 (Rap1-interacting-factor1), originally identified as a telomere binding factor in yeast, is a critical determinant of the replication timing program in human cells. Depletion of Rif1 results in specific loss of mid-S replication foci profiles, stimulation of initiation events in early S-phase and changes in long-range replication timing domain structures. Overall replication timing is shifted toward mid-S in both directions, suggesting that replication timing regulation is abrogated in the absence of Rif1. Rif1 tightly binds to nuclear insoluble structures at late-M to early-G1 and regulates the chromatin-loop sizes. Furthermore, Rif1 colocalizes specifically with the mid-S replication foci. Thus, Rif1 establishes the mid-S replication domains that are restrained from being activated at early S-phase. Our results indicate that Rif1 plays crucial roles in determining the replication timing domain structures through regulating higher-order chromatin architecture.

Regulated TRESLIN-MTBP loading governs initiation zones and replication timing in human DNA replication [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Replication origins in human cells form clusters ranging from tens to hundreds of kilobases called initiation zones (IZs), typically located in intergenic regions between active genes. On a larger megabase scale, chromosomes replicate in a temporally defined replication timing (RT) pattern, where euchromatic regions replicate early, and heterochromatic regions replicate late. Although the stochastic model of IZ firing with a temporally regulated limiting factor can explain RT formation, this limiting factor in human cells remains unclear. To investigate the relationship between IZ and RT, we mapped the temporal firing pattern of IZs and examined the genome-wide distributions of replication licensing and firing factors in human cells. We identified TRESLIN-MTBP as the key limiting firing factor for replication initiation. Its loading onto phosphorylated MCM2–7 double hexamer (MCM-DH) is controlled by the opposing phosphorylation events on MCM-DH by Dbf4-dependent kinase and RIF1-Protein Phosphatase 1, which ultimately determine IZs and establish RT.
