Project description:Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from multiple sites on each chromosome called replication origins. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, origins are defined at discrete sites. Regular spacing and diverse firing characteristics of origins are thought to be required for efficient completion of replication, especially in the presence of replication stress. However, a S. cerevisiae chromosome III harboring multiple origin deletions has been reported to replicate relatively normally, and yet how an origin-deficient chromosome could accomplish successful replication remains unkown. To address this issue, we deleted seven well-characterized origins from chromosome VI, and found that thsese deletions do not cause gross growth defects even in the presence of replication inhibitors. We demonstrated that the origin deletions do cause a strong decrease in the binding of the origin recognition complex. Unexpectedly, replication profiling of this chromosome showed that DNA replication initiates from non-canonical loci around deleted origins in yeast. These results suggest that replication initiation can be unexpectedly flexible in this organism. In this study, we aimed to establish an independent system to investigate how an origin-deficient chromosome is replicated. To this end, we systematically deleted seven well-characterized origins on the left arm of S. cerevisiae chromosome VI and analyzed (1) Orc2 localization during G2/M arrest and (2) BrdU incorporation during synchronous release from G1 arrest into S-phase, and compared the results to wild-type cell signals. For Orc2 ChIP-Chip experiments, Orc-bound DNA was isolated from Orc2-2Xlinker-3XFlag epitope-tagged cells arrested in G2/M using antibodies against Flag. For BrdU ChIP-Chip experiments, actively replicating DNA was isolated from cells harboring a single integrated BrdU incorporation vector released synchronously into 200mM HU using antibodies against BrdU. Immunoprecipitated and input (Orc2) or G1 (BrdU) DNA was then amplified and competitively hybridized to high-resolution strand-specific microarrays covering chromosomes III, VI, and XII.

Project description:BrdU profiling of replication activity in hydroxyurea treated synchronous culture of fission yeast. Facultative heterochromatin regulates gene expression, but its assembly is poorly understood. Previously, we identified facultative heterochromatin islands in the fission yeast genome and found that RNA elimination machinery promotes island assembly at meiotic genes. Here, we report that Taz1, a component of the telomere protection complex Shelterin, is required to assemble heterochromatin islands at regions corresponding to late replication origins that are sites of double-strand break formation during meiosis. The loss of Taz1 and other Shelterin subunits, including Ccq1 that interacts with Clr4/Suv39h, abolishes heterochromatin at late origins and causes defective silencing of associated genes. Moreover, the late origin regulator Rif1 affects heterochromatin at Taz1-dependent islands and subtelomeric regions. We uncover a connection between heterochromatin and replication control, and show that heterochromatin factors affect timing of replication. These analyses implicate Shelterin in facultative heterochromatin assembly at late origins, which has important implications for the maintenance of genome stability and gene regulation.

Cdc25-22 cells carrying thymidine kinase and human nucleoside transporter expression modules were arrested at the G2/M boundary. After release into the cell cycle in minimal medium supplemented with hydroxyurea and 5â-bromo-2â-deoxyuridine (BrdU) cells were collected at time corresponding to maximal septation index and fixed by treatment with sodium azide. BrdU labeled DNA was recovered by immunoprecipitation, amplified by random-primed PCR and after conjugation with Cy5 (IP) or Cy3 (input DNA) analyzed on Agilent 60mer array.

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

Project description:One of the long-standing questions in eukaryotic DNA replication is the mechanisms that determine where and when a particular segment of the genome is replicated. Cdc7/Hsk1 is a conserved kinase required for initiation of DNA replication, and may affect the site selection and timing of origin firing. We identified rif1∆, a null mutant of rif1+, a conserved telomere binding factor, as an efficient bypass mutant of fission yeast hsk1. Extensive deregulation of dormant origins over a wide range of the chromosomes occurs in rif1∆ in the presence or absence of HU. At the same time, many early-firing, efficient origins are suppressed or delayed in firing timing in rif1∆. Rif1 binds not only to telomeres but also to many specific locations on the arm segments that only partially overlap with the pre-Replicative Complex assembly sites, although Rif1 tends to bind in the vicinity of the late/ dormant origins activated in rif1∆. The binding to the arm segments occurs through M to G1 phase in a manner independent of Taz1 and appears to be essential for the replication timing program during normal cell cycle. Our data demonstrate that Rif1 is a critical determinant of origin activation program on the fission yeast chromosomes. BrdU incorporation profiles at early S-phase in Wild vs rif1∆.

Project description:Wild-type and isogenic H3K37R yeast cultures were grown in medium containing 2% raffinose as carbone source. Cells were synchronized in G1 with alpha factor. To half culture (100ml), glucose (2% final concentration) and 1.3ml BrdU (50mg/ml stock) and 1.3ml BrdU (50mg/ml stock) was added. To the other half, galactose (2% final concentration) and 1.3ml BrdU (50mg/ml stock). Both flasks were incubated for further 30min at 30C, then cell were collected by centrifugation and resuspended into 100ml of 30C warmed YPA-2%Glucose or YPA-2%Galactose medium containing 25ml HU (2M stock) plus 1.2 ml BrdU (50mg/ml stock) and incubated for 1 hour and 10minutes. YPA-Glucose and YPA-Galactose cultures were immediately transferred to ice/water bath and replication was stopped by addition of NaN3 and cells were processed for DNA immunoprecipitation with anti BrdU antibody.

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. BrdU-IP-seq analysis of origin activity in wt, sir2 and rpd3 cells, aligned against genomic DNA (sacCer3) and rDNA sequences Please note that the wt WCE #1 and #2 samples are whole-cell extracts from wild-type cells arrested in HU that were used to calculate the log ratio of the BrdU IP #1 and #2 batches, respectively.
