The gastrula transition reorganizes replication origin selection in Caenorhabditis elegans

ABSTRACT: Some features underlying replication origin activation in metazoan cells have been identified, but little is known about their regulation during metazoan development. Using the nascent strand purification method, we identified replication origins throughout Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic development and found that the origin repertoire is thoroughly reorganized after gastrulation onset. During the pluripotent embryonic stages (pre-gastrula), potential cruciform structures and open chromatin are determinant factors to establish replication origins. The enrichment of replication origins in transcription factor binding sites and their presence inside promoters of highly transcribed genes, particularly operons, argue that transcriptional activity contributes to replication initiation before gastrulation. After the gastrula transition, when differentiation programs are set in the embryos, origins are particularly selected at enhancers, in the vicinity of CGI-like sequences, and non-coding genes. Our findings suggest that origin selection coordinates replication initiation with transcriptional programs during metazoan development.

Chromatin environment shapes replication origin organization and defines origin classes

Project description:To unveil the still-elusive nature of metazoan replication origins, we identified them genome-wide and at unprecedented high-resolution in mouse ES cells. This allowed initiation sites (IS) and initiation zones (IZ) to be differentiated. We then characterized their genetic signatures and organization and integrated these data with 43 chromatin marks and factors. Our results reveal that replication origins can be grouped into three main classes with distinct organization, chromatin environment and sequence motifs. Class 1 contains relatively isolated, low-efficiency origins that are poor in epigenetic marks and are enriched in an asymmetric AC repeat at the initiation site. Late origins are mainly found in this class. Class 2 origins are particularly rich in enhancer elements. Class 3 origins are the most efficient and are associated with open chromatin and polycomb protein-enriched regions. The presence of Origin G-rich Repeated elements (OGRE) potentially forming G-quadruplexes (G4) was confirmed at most origins. These coincide with nucleosome-depleted regions located upstream of the initiation sites, which are associated with a labile nucleosomes containing H3K64ac. These data demonstrate that specific chromatin landscapes and combinations of specific signatures regulate origin localization. They explain the frequently-observed links between DNA replication and transcription. They also emphasize the plasticity of metazoan replication origins, and suggest that in multicellular eukaryotes, the combination of distinct genetic features and chromatin configurations act in synergy to define and adapt the origin profile.

High-Resolution Profiling of Drosophila Replication Start Sites Reveals a DNA Shape and Chromatin Signature of Metazoan Origins

Project description:At every cell cycle, faithful inheritance of metazoan genomes requires the concerted activation of thousands of DNA replication origins. However, which genetic and chromatin features define metazoan replication start sites remains largely unknown. Here, we delineate the origin repertoire of the Drosophila genome at high resolution. We address the role of origin-proximal G-quadruplexes and show their ability to transiently stall replication forks in vivo. We dissect the chromatin configuration of replication origins and identify a rich spatial organization of chromatin features at initiation sites. DNA shape and chromatin configurations, not strict sequence specificity, mark and predict replication origins in higher eukaryotes. We further examine the link between transcription and origin firing and reveal that modulation of origin activity across cell types is intimately linked to cell-type-specific transcriptional programs. Our study unravels conserved origin features and provides unique insights into the relationship between DNA topology, chromatin, transcription and replication initiation across metazoa. Our dataset consists of SNS-Seq profiles in Drosophila S2 and Bg3 cells. Small nascent leading strands (SNS) have been purified with an enhanced sensitivity SNS purification protocol. For standard SNS-Seq experiments (from pooled gradient fractions, denoted as "pool"), SNS were purified from two biological replicates. For single-fraction SNS-Seq experiments, two libraries were prepared for each fraction. The genomic coordinates of S2 and Bg3 replication origins are also provided.

Loss of Ezh2 function reshapes DNA replication initiation landscape

Project description:DNA replication initiation is made possible by the assembly of pre- replication complexes (Pre-RCs) at genomic locations called DNA replication initiation sites (origins) during G1-phase. Although there are no conserved characteristics of metazoan origins on which Pre-RCs form, previous findings suggest that origins are strongly associated with open, active chromatin regions of the genome such as promoters, enhancers, and active histone marks. However, over a third of transcriptionally silent genes associate with DNA replication initiation activity in mESC cells, and most of these genes are bound and repressed by the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) through the repressive H3K27me3 mark. This is the strongest observed association of an epigenetic regulator element with replication origin activity. Thus, I wished to ask whether Polycomb-mediated gene repression plays a direct role in the recruitment of DNA replication origins activity to silent genes. I comprehensively characterized the consequences of PRC2 catalytic activity (EZH2 subunit) depletion on the activity of DNA replication origins in mESC through a genome-wide evaluation. My findings suggest that absence of EZH2 results in increased DNA replication initiation activity at EZH2-bound sites. Interestingly, the increase in DNA replication initiation activity does not correlate with transcriptional de-repression or acquisition of the activating marks H3K4me3 and H3K27ac but loss of the repressive H3K27me3 mark leading to increased accessibility of chromatin.

Nucleoporins facilitate ORC loading onto chromatin

Project description:The origin recognition complex (ORC) binds throughout the genome to initiate DNA replication. In metazoans, it is still unclear how ORC is targeted to specific loci to facilitate helicase loading and replication initiation. Here, we performed immunoprecipitations coupled with mass spectrometry for ORC2 in Drosophila embryos. Surprisingly, we found that ORC2 associates with multiple subunits of the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the nuclear pore. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that, relative to all modENCODE factors, nucleoporins are among the most enriched factors at ORC2 binding sites. Critically, depletion of the nucleoporin Elys, a member of the Nup107-160 complex, results in decreased ORC2 loading onto chromatin. Depleting Elys also sensitized cells to replication fork stalling, which could reflect a defect in establishing dormant replication origins. Our work reveals a new connection between ORC, replication initiation and nucleoporins, highlighting a previously unrecognized function of nucleoporins in metazoan replication initiation.

HDACs act on ribosomal DNA to control the yeast replication program and the competition between origins for limiting initiation factors

Project description:In S. cerevisiae, replication timing is controlled by epigenetic mechanisms restricting the accessibility of origins to limiting initiation factors. About 30% of these origins are located within repetitive DNA sequences such as the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) array, but their regulation is poorly understood. Here, we have investigated how histone deacetylases (HDACs) control the replication program in budding yeast. This analysis revealed that two HDACs, Rpd3 and Sir2, control replication timing in an opposite manner. Whereas Rpd3 delays initiation at late origins, Sir2 is required for the timely activation of early origins. Moreover, Sir2 represses initiation at rDNA origins whereas Rpd3 counteracts this effect. Remarkably, deletion of SIR2 restored normal replication in rpd3 cells by reactivating rDNA origins. Together, these data indicate that HDACs control the replication timing program in budding yeast by modulating the ability of repeated origins to compete with single-copy origins for limiting initiation factors.

Study of RepID/PHIP in DNA Replication inhitiation in Mammalian Cells

Project description:Mammalian chromosome replication starts from distinct sites, but the principles governing initiation site selection are unclear because proteins essential for DNA replication do not exhibit sequence-specific DNA binding. We identified a replication initiation determinant (RepID) protein that binds a subset of replication initiation sites. A large fraction of RepID binding sites share a common G-rich motif and exhibit elevated replication initiation. RepID is required for initiation of DNA replication from Rep-ID bound replication origins, including the origin at the human beta-globin (HBB) locus. At HBB, RepID is involved in an interaction between the replication origin (Rep-P) and the locus control region. RepID depleted murine embryonic fibroblasts exhibit abnormal replication fork progression and fewer replication initiation events. These observations are consistent with a model suggesting that RepID facilitates replication initiation at a distinct group of human replication origins. Nascent strands were purified with the lambda exonuclease methods from HCT116 cells and sequenced. Chromatin from unsyncrhonized untreated cultures of U2OS cells was subjected to ChIP-Seq with antibody directed against RepID/PHIP

SILAC-based quantitative proteomic analysis of Drosophila gastrula stage embryos mutant for fibroblast growth factor signalin

Project description:Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses in combination with genetics provide powerful tools in developmental cell signaling research. Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most widely used genetic models for studying development and disease. Here we combined quantitative proteomics with genetic selection to determine global changes in the proteome upon depletion of the Heartless (Htl) Fibroblast-Growth Factor (FGF) receptor signaling in Drosophila embryos at the gastrula stage. We present a robust, single generation SILAC (stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture) protocol for labeling proteins in early embryos and for the selection of homozygously mutant embryos at pre-gastrula stages using an independent genetic marker. Our analyses detected quantitative changes in the global proteome of htl mutant embryos during gastrulation. We identified distinct classes of down-regulated and up-regulated proteins and network analyses indicates functionally related groups of proteins in each class. In addition, we identified changes in the abundance of phosphopeptides. These data suggest that FGF signaling in the early embryo affects global changes in the abundance of metabolic, nucleoplasmic, cytoskeletal and transport proteins.
