Genome-wide EMSA (gEMSA) of ORC and yeast genomic DNA

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic DNA replication origins are selected in G1-phase when the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds chromosomal DNA, triggering a series of molecular events that culminate in the initiation of DNA replication (a.k.a. origin firing) during S-phase. Each chromosome requires multiple origins for its duplication, and each origin fires at a characteristic time during S-phase, creating a cell-type specific genome replication pattern with relevance to differentiation, genome stability and evolution. It is unclear whether ORC-origin interactions are relevant to the regulation of origin activation time. Here we applied a novel genome-wide strategy to classify origins in the model eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on the types of molecular interactions used for ORC-origin binding. Specifically, origins were classified as DNA-dependent when the strength of ORC-origin binding in vivo could be explained by the affinity of ORC for origin DNA in vitro, and, conversely, as ‘chromatin-dependent’ when the ORC-DNA interaction in vitro was insufficient to explain the strength of ORC-origin binding in vivo. The two classes of origins were distinct in terms of local nucleosome architecture and dependence on origin-flanking sequences in plasmid replication assays, consistent with local features of chromatin promoting ORC binding at ‘chromatin-dependent’ origins. Importantly, origins that fired in late S-phase, but not those that fired in early S-phase, showed a significant dependence on the ORC-origin DNA interaction for ORC binding in vivo. Therefore we demonstrate for the first time a connection between ORC-origin binding mechanisms and the regulation of origin activation time at a genome-wide level.

ORC precisely positions nucleosomes at origins of replication

Project description:The budding yeast genome is marked by 250-350 origins of DNA replication. These origins are bound by the origin recognition complex (ORC) throughout the cell cycle. ORC has known DNA binding sequence preferences which, though necessary for binding, are not sufficient to fully specify a genomic locus as being bound by ORC, indicating that the cell must use additional chromosomal cues to specify ORC binding sites and origins of replication. Using high-throughput sequencing to precisely locate both ORC binding sites and nucleosome locations genome-wide, we find that a nucleosome depleted region (NDR) and precisely positioned nucleosomes are a ubiquitous feature of yeast replication origins. The ARS consensus sequence (ACS) and adjacent sequences are sufficient to maintain the nucleosome-free properties of the NDR. We use a temperature sensitive ORC1 mutant to demonstrate that ORC is required to maintain precisely positioned nucleosomes at origins of replication. These findings demonstrate the importance of local nucleosome positioning at replication origins, and that chromatin organization is an important determinant of origin selection.

Establishing the program of origin firing during S phase in fission yeast

Project description:Our data have revealed a correlation between the timing of ORC and MCM binding to origins and the timing of replication. We hypothesized that origins bind ORC during M with varying affinities, and that delays in ORC binding and pre-RC formation at late-firing origins result in low efficiencies due to these origins subsequently competing less effectively for limiting replication factors. We investigated if equalizing ORC binding results in changes in origin efficiencies. Because the increase in ORC binding occurs during M, we surmised that extending M might result in origins accumulating ORC more equally, leading to more equal distribution of pre-RC and pre-IC assembly among origins. As a consequence, early origins might become less efficient and late origins more efficient. To extend M in cells, we used the drug MBC (Carbendazim), which prevents microtubule polymerization and disrupts the mitotic spindle. Cells were then allowed to undergo S phase in the presence of BrdU, and labeled fragments were isolated by immunoprecipitation of genomic DNA and hybridized to Affymetrix tiling arrays. These results were compared to the replication profile of synchronized cells treated with HU but not with MBC, providing a control for normal origin efficiencies across the genome. This method allows the relative efficiency of origin usage genome-wide to be determined based on signal intensities from array hybridizations. Keywords: comparison between cells treated with a drug and normal cells

Ordered and disordered regions of the Origin Recognition Complex direct differential in vivo binding at distinct motif sequences.

Project description:The Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) seeds replication-fork formation by binding to DNA replication origins, which in budding yeast contain a 17bp DNA motif. High resolution structure of the ORC-DNA complex revealed two base-interacting elements: a disordered basic patch (Orc1-BP4) and an insertion helix (Orc4-IH). To define the ORC elements guiding its DNA binding in vivo, we mapped genomic locations of 38 designed ORC mutants, revealing that different ORC elements guide binding at different sites. At silencing-associated sites lacking the motif, ORC binding and activity were fully explained by a BAH domain. Within replication origins, we reveal two dominating motif variants showing differential binding modes and symmetry: a non-repetitive motif whose binding requires Orc1-BP4 and Orc4-IH, and a repetitive one where another basic patch, Orc1-BP3, can replace Orc4-IH. Disordered basic patches are therefore key for ORC-motif binding in vivo, and we discuss how these conserved, minor-groove interacting elements can guide specific ORC-DNA recognition.

ORC binding profile in Candida albicans

Project description:Map ORC binding sites to identify replication origins in C. albicans by using polyclonal ORC antibodies (gift from Stephen Bell Lab). Due to the unsynchronized nature of Candida cells, log-phase cultures were taken to perfoem ChIP-chip experiments to find the genome-wide ORC binding sites.

The Origin Recognition Complex interacts with a subset of metabolic genes tightly linked to origins of replication.

Project description:The origin recognition complex (ORC) marks chromosomal sites as replication origins and is essential for replication initiation. In yeast, ORC also binds to DNA elements called silencers, where its primary function is to recruit silent information regulator (SIR) proteins to establish transcriptional silencing. Indeed, silencers function poorly as chromosomal origins. Several genetic, molecular, and biochemical studies of HMR-E have led to a model proposing that when ORC becomes limiting in the cell, such as in the orc2-1 mutant, only sites that bind ORC tightly, such as HMR-E, remain fully occupied by ORC, while lower affinity sites, including most origins, lose ORC occupancy. Since HMR-E possessed a unique non-replication function, we reasoned that other tight sites might reveal novel functions for ORC on chromosomes. Therefore, we comprehensively determined ORC “affinity” genome-wide by performing an ORC ChIP-on-chip in ORC2 and orc2-1 strains. Here we describe a novel group of orc2-1-resistant ORC-interacting chromosomal sites (ORF-ORC sites) that did not function as replication origins or silencers. Instead, ORF-ORC sites were comprised of protein-coding regions of highly transcribed metabolic genes. In contrast to the ORC-silencer paradigm, transcriptional activation promoted ORC association with these genes. Remarkably, ORF-ORC genes were enriched in proximity to origins of replication, and, in several instances, were transcriptionally regulated by these origins. Taken together, these results suggest a surprising connection between ORC, replication origins and cellular metabolism.

Establishment and Function of Chromatin Organization at Replication Origins

Project description:The Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) is essential for the initiation of eukaryotic chromosome replication as it loads the replicative helicase, the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex, at replication origins. Origins display a stereotypic chromatin structure with nucleosome depletion at ORC binding sites and flanking arrays of regularly spaced nucleosomes. Although discovered long ago, it is unknown how this chromatin struture is established and if it matters for replication. By genome-scale biochemical reconstitution we screened ~300 origins and 17 purified budding yeast chromatin factors and found that ORC established nucleosome depletion over origins and flanking nucleosome arrays by orchestrating the chromatin remodelers INO80, ISW1a, ISW2 and Chd1. The functional importance of ORC’s chromatin organizing activity was directly demonstrated by ORC mutations that maintained classical MCM loader activity but lost array generation activity. These mutations impaired replication through chromatin in vitro and were lethal in vivo. Our results establish that ORC, besides its canonical role as MCM loader, has a second essential function as master regulator of the origin chromatin structure that is a crucial prerequisite for efficient chromosome replication.
