Nanopore-based sequencing of active DNA replication reveals key principles of metazoan replication fork progression and origin usage

ABSTRACT: Balancing replication fork progression and origin usage is essential to maintain genome stability, but measuring replication fork progression rates and origin usage throughout the genome has been challenging. Here, we use nanopore sequencing combined with DNAscent to measure replication fork progression together with origin and termination site usage with single-molecule precision throughout the Drosophila genome with nearly full genome coverage. We find that replication fork progression rates are not uniform throughout the genome. Rather, fork progression is slowest in euchromatin, and this is not correlated with active transcription. Replication origins are also influenced by chromatin, but the exact position of initiation is highly variable and are often several kilobases away from ORC binding sites. Termination sites lack any chromatin or sequence motifs and appear nearly random throughout the genome. By measuring DNA replication dynamics at near full genome coverage, our work reveals key principles of metazoan replication dynamics.

Replication termination is mediated by Top2 and occurs at genomic loci containing pausing elements

Project description:[original title] Chromosome replication initiates at multiple replicons and terminates when forks converge. In Escherichia coli, the Tus-TER complex mediates polar fork converging at the terminator region and aberrant termination events challenge chromosome integrity and segregation. Since in eukaryotes termination is less characterized, we used budding yeast to identify the factors assisting fork fusion at replicating chromosomes. Using genomic and mechanistic studies we have identified and characterized 71 chromosomal termination regions (TERs). TERs contain fork pausing elements that influence fork progression and merging. The Rrm3 DNA helicase assists fork progression across TERs counteracting the accumulation of X-shaped structures. The Top2 DNA topoisomerase associates at TERs in S-phase and G2/M facilitates fork fusion and prevents DNA breaks and genome rearrangements at TERs. We propose that in eukaryotes replication fork barriers, Rrm3 and Top2 coordinate replication fork progression and fusion at termination regions thus counteracting abnormal genomic transitions.

Quantitative BrdU immunoprecipitation method demonstrates that Fkh1 and Fkh2 are rate-limiting activators of replication origins that reprogram replication timing in G1 phase (BrdU)

Project description:The S. cerevisiae Forkhead Box (FOX) proteins, Fkh1 and Fkh2, regulate diverse cellular processes including transcription, long-range DNA interactions during homologous recombination, and replication origin timing and long-range origin clustering. As stimulators of early origin activation, we hypothesized that Fkh1 and Fkh2 abundance limits the rate of origin activation genome-wide. Existing methods, however, were not well suited to quantitative, genome-wide measurements of origin firing between strains and conditions. To overcome this limitation, we developed qBrdU-seq, a quantitative method for BrdU incorporation analysis of replication dynamics, and applied it to show that overexpression of Fkh1 and Fkh2 advance the initiation timing of many origins throughout the genome resulting in a higher total level of origin initiations in early S phase. The higher initiation rate is accompanied by slower replication fork progression, thereby maintaining a normal length of S phase without causing detectable Rad53 checkpoint kinase activation. The advancement of origin firing time, including that of origins in heterochromatic domains, was established in late G1 phase, indicating that origin timing can be reset subsequently to origin licensing. These results provide novel insights into the mechanisms of origin timing regulation by identifying Fkh1 and Fkh2 as rate-limiting factors for origin firing that determine the ability of replication origins to accrue limiting factors and have the potential to reprogram replication timing late in G1 phase. 5 total experiments with replicates

High-resolution genome replication profiles, modeling and single-cell imaging define the stochastic nature of replication initiation and termination

Project description:Eukaryotic genome replication is stochastic with each cell using a different cohort of replication origins. Interpreting high-resolution genome replication profiles with a mathematical model allowed us to quantify the stochastic nature of genome replication. This approach included estimation of the activity of every replication origin and the genome-wide location of replication termination events. Single-cell measurements verified the inferred values for stochastic origin replication time. Strains in which multiple origins had been inactivated, confirmed that the location of termination events is primarily dictated by the stochastic activation time of origins. Cell-to-cell variability in origin activity ensures that termination events are widely distributed across virtually the whole genome. We propose that the heterogeneity in origin usage contributes to genome stability by limiting potentially deleterious events from accumulating at particular loci. Measurement of genome replication time for two S. cerevisiae strains. For each strain six S phase samples werecompared with a non-replicating sample.

Quantitative, genome-wide analysis of eukaryotic replication initiation and termination

Project description:Via the deep-sequencing of Okazaki fragments from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we report the first comprehensive documentation of genome-wide replication directionality in any eukaryote; this permits the systematic analysis of both replication initiation and termination. We conduct a genome-wide analysis of origin competence and efficiency, and conclude that the majority of origins are competent to fire in each cell cycle and generally do so with high efficiency. Additionally, the spatial resolution of our data allow us to determine that leading-strand initiation generally occurs within the nucleosome-free region at origins. Using a strain in which late origins can be induced to fire early, we show that replication termination is a largely passive phenomenon that does not rely on cis-acting sequences or replication fork pausing and that the replication profile is determined largely by the kinetics of origin firing, allowing us to reconstruct chromosome-wide timing profiles from an asynchronous culture.

Genome wide identification of replication fork stalling/pausing sites and the interplay between RNA Pol II transcription and DNA replication progression

Project description:DNA replication progression can be affected by the presence of physical barriers on the DNA, like RNA Polymerases, leading to replication stress and DNA damage. To characterize what happens at sites where DNA replication forks stall and pause, we establish a genome-wide approach to identify them. This approach uses multiple timepoints during S-phase, to identify replication fork/stalling hotspots throughout the genome. These sites are typically associated with increased DNA damage, overlap with fragile sites and with breakpoints of rearrangements identified in cancers, but do not overlap with replication origins. Overlaying these sites with a genome-wide analysis of RNA Polymerase II transcription, we found that replication fork stalling/pausing sites inside genes are directly related to transcription progression and activity. This would support data that indicate that transcription and replication can coexist over the same regions. We found instances where transcription activity by reducing histone density favors replication progression through genes, but also found that slowing down transcription elongation slows down directly replication progression through genes. Importantly, rearrangements found in cancers at transcription-replication collision sites can be detected in non-transformed cells and increased following treatment with ATM and ATR inhibitors. Altogether, our findings highlight how transcription and replication overlap during S-phase, with both positive and negative consequences for replication fork progression and genome stability.

NAT10-mediated β-hydroxybutyrylation Facilitates DNA Replication, Reduces Replication Stress and Genomic Instability

Project description:Accurate DNA replication is essential for genome integrity, with dysregulated replication dynamics, replication stress and genomic instability-hallmarks of cancer and aging. Here, we identify NAT10-mediated β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) of histones that safeguards replication fork progression, alleviates replication stress, and preserves genomic stability. DNA fiber analyses show β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) treatment enhances replication efficiency while maintaining fork symmetry, effects abolished by NAT10 depletion or inhibition. BrdU/EdU labeling, FACS analyses reveal that NAT10-mediated Kbhb accelerates replication fork velocity and shortens S-phase duration. LC-MS/MS profiling shows no significant changes in origin firing following BHB treatment. Mechanistically, NAT10-mediated Kbhb modulates chromatin association, thereby modulating chromatin accessibility to establish a replication-permissive environment. This epigenetic remodeling mitigates replication stress markers and genomic instability. Conserved effects in transformed and primary cell models position NAT10 as a metabolic-epigenetic nexus linking nutrient signaling to replication fidelity. Our findings suggest targeting Kbhb signaling as a potential therapeutic strategy against replication stress-associated pathologies.
