Project description:Short nascent strands purification coupled to next-generation sequencing allowed us to identify replication origins on human genome in an extensive way, by mapping replication origins in 4 different cell types, IMR-90 fibroblasts, hESC H9 cells, iPSC Th Cl-4 cells and HeLa cells. We demonstrated the existence of a cell type-specific reprogrammable signature of the cell identity revealed by specific efficiencies of conserved origin positions and not by the selection of cell-type specific subsets of origins. 4 different cell types were analyzed. For each cell types, 2 different biological replicates of short nascent strands at replication origins were purified. Each SNS sample was sequencing at least one time.

Project description:Replication of vertebrate genomes is tightly regulated to ensure accurate duplication, but our understanding of the interplay between genetic and epigenetic factors in this regulation remains incomplete. Here, we investigated the involvement of three elements enriched at gene promoters and replication origins: guanine-rich motifs potentially forming G-quadruplexes (pG4s), nucleosome-free regions (NFRs), and the histone variant H2A.Z, in the firing of origins of replication in vertebrates. We show that two pG4s on the same DNA strand (dimeric pG4s) are sufficient to induce assembly of an efficient minimal replication origin without inducing transcription. Dimeric pG4s in replication origins trigger formation of an NFR next to precisely positioned nucleosomes enriched in H2A.Z on this minimal origin and genome-wide. Thus, our data suggest a crucial role for dimeric pG4s in the organization and duplication of vertebrate genomes. It supports the hypothesis that a nucleosome close to an NFR is a shared signal for the formation of replication origins in eukaryotes.

Project description:Virtually any nucleated somatic cell can be reprogrammed to an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). The process of reprogramming involves epigenetic remodelling to turn on pluripotency-associated genes and turn off lineage-specific genes. Some evidence shows that iPSC retain epigenetic marks of their cell of origin and this “epigenetic memory” influences differentiation potential, with a preference towards their cell of origin. Here, we reprogrammed proximal tubule cells (PTC) and tail tip fibroblasts (TTF), from a reprogrammable mouse, to iPSC and differentiated the iPSC to renal progenitors to understand if epigenetic memory plays a role in renal differentiation. The reprogrammable mouse model allowed us to eliminate the variability due to different cell donors and transfection of the reprogramming factors. We showed that early passage PTC iPSC and TTF iPSC expressed low levels of renal progenitor genes and high levels of pluripotency-associated genes, and the transcriptional levels of these genes were not significantly different between PTC iPSC and TTF iPSC. In agreement with this, we used ChIP-seq to demonstrate that the H3K4me3, H3K27 and H3K36me3 profiles of PTC iPSC and TTF iPSC were not different from each other for kidney developmental genes and pluripotency-associated genes. DNA methylation also demonstrated no difference between PTC iPSC and TTF iPSC. However, when the iPSC were differentiated to renal progenitors, the progenitors derived from PTC iPSC expressed higher levels of some renal progenitor genes compared to progenitors derived from TTF iPSC. This demonstrates that although PTC iPSC and TTF iPSC are epigenetically identical, there are still differences in their response and sensitivity to differentiation cues and this ultimately influences their differentiation propensity.

Project description:The chromatin at origins of replication is thought to influence DNA replication initiation in eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains unclear how the chromatin composition controls the firing of early-efficient (EE) or late-inefficient (LI) origins. Here, we used site-specific recombination and single-locus chromatin isolation to purify EE and LI replication origins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Using mass spectrometry, we define the histone modification landscape and identify the protein composition of native chromatin regions surrounding the EE and LI replication start sites. In addition to the known origin interactors, we find novel origin-associated factors, such as the kinetochore-associated Ask1/DASH complex. Strikingly, we show that Ask1 regulates the replication timing control of specific origins in yeast. Thus, our unbiased approach identifies functionally-relevant proteomes at single-copy loci and would be widely applicable to provide an in-depth quantitative characterization of histone modification and protein interaction networks of chromatin at any genomic locus of interest.

Project description:Chromatin structure affects DNA replication patterns, but the role of specific chromatin modifiers in regulating the replication process is yet unclear. We report that phosphorylation of the human SIRT1 deacetylase on Threonine 530 (T530-pSIRT1) modulates DNA synthesis. T530-pSIRT1 associates with replication origins and inhibits replication from a group of ÒdormantÓ potential replication origins, which initiate replication only when cells are subject to replication stress. Although both active and dormant origins bind T530-pSIRT1, active origins are distinguished from dormant origins by their unique association with an open chromatin mark, histone H3 methylated on lysine 4. SIRT1 phosphorylation also facilitates leading and lagging strand coordination. SIRT1 T530 phosphorylation is essential to prevent DNA breakage upon replication stress and cells harboring SIRT1 that cannot be phosphorylated exhibit a high prevalence of extrachromosomal elements, hallmarks of perturbed replication. These observations suggest that SIRT1 phosphorylation modulates the distribution of replication initiation events to insure genomic stability.

Project description:The chromatin at origins of replication is the template for DNA replication initiation in eukaryotic genomes. However, whether the chromatin composition instructs individual origins to fire early-efficiently (EE) or late-inefficiently (LI) remains to be investigated. Here, we used site-specific recombination and a single-locus chromatin isolation approach to purify selected EE and LI replication origins from chromosome III of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using mass spectrometry, we define the histone modification landscape and identify the protein composition of defined ~1kb native chromatin regions surrounding the EE and LI replication start sites. We confirm expected origin interactors but also find unexpected interactions, such as the Ask1 subunit of the kinetochore-associated DASH complex. Strikingly, we show that Ask1 is a critical factor in the replication timing control of specific origins in yeast. These results highlight that our unbiased approach can specifically identify the functionally-relevant proteome at a single-copy locus of interest and provide a detailed view of histone modification and protein interaction networks on replication origin chromatin. The current dataset contains proteomic data used for the histone PTM analysis.

Project description:DNA replication is initiated at multiple sites or origins enriched with AT-rich sequences at various times during the S-phase. While current studies of genome-wide DNA replication profiles have focused on the timing of replication and the location of origins, the efficiency of replication/firing at various origins remains unclear. In this study, we show different efficiencies of DNA replication at various loci by using ORF-specific DNA microarrays. DNA copy-number increases as a function of time at individual loci are approximated to near-sigmoidal models for estimation of replication initiation and completion timings in HU-challenged cells. Duplicating times (from initiation to completion) vary from loci to loci, partly contributing to various firing efficiencies at origins. DNA replication timing profiles are strikingly similar to the reported patterns of enriched ssDNA, suggesting that majority stalled forks are restored for resumption of DNA replication. Although the DNA replication timing profiles are disrupted in HU-challenged cds1? cells, ~85% of potential origins overlapped with those found in wild type cells, significantly, most of which represents inefficiently fired origins in wild type cells. Together, our result indicates that replication checkpoint plays a role in monitoring efficient origins and thus maintaining global DNA replication patterns in HU-challenged cells. Keywords: WT or Cds1 HU synchronized cells released in HU free media and harvested at different time points vs WT or Cds1 synchronized with HU for 3 hrs. We analyzed 32 arrays for WT and 38 arrays for Cds1 cells which were synchronized with HU and released in HU free media and harvested at different time points. At least two biological repeats were done for each time points.

Project description:The knowledge that potential guanine quadruplex sequences (PQs) are non-randomly distributed in relation to genomic features is now well established. However, this is for a general potential quadruplex motif which is characterized by short runs of guanine separated by loop regions, regardless of the nature of the loop sequence. There have been no studies to date which map the distribution of PQs in terms of primary sequence or which categorize PQs. To this end, we have generated clusters of PQ sequence groups of various sizes and various degrees of similarity for the non-template strand of introns in the human genome. We started with 86 697 sequences, and successively merged them into groups based on sequence similarity, carrying out 66 clustering cycles before convergence. We have demonstrated here that by using complete linkage hierarchical agglomerative clustering such PQ sequence categorization can be achieved. Our results give an insight into sequence diversity and categories of PQ sequences which occur in human intronic regions. We also highlight a number of clusters for which interesting relationships among their members were immediately evident and other clusters whose members seem unrelated, illustrating, we believe, a distinct role for different sequence types.
