Project description:Across eukaryotes, checkpoints maintain the order of cell cycle events in the face of DNA damage or incomplete replication. Although a wide array of DNA lesions activates the checkpoint kinases, whether and how this response differs in different phases of the cell cycle remains poorly understood. The S-phase checkpoint for example results in the slowing of replication, which in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is caused by Rad53 kinase-dependent inhibition of the initiation factors Sld3 and Dbf4. Despite this, we show here that Rad53 phosphorylates both of these substrates throughout the cell cycle at the same sites as in S-phase, suggesting roles for this pathway beyond S-phase. Indeed we show that Rad53-dependent inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 limits re-replication in G2/M phase, preventing inappropriate gene amplification events. In addition we show that inhibition of Sld3 and Dbf4 after DNA damage in G1 phase prevents premature replication initiation at all origins at the G1/S transition. This study redefines the scope and specificity of the ‘S-phase checkpoint’ with implications for understanding the roles of this checkpoint in the majority of cancers that lack proper cell cycle controls.

Project description:Mrc1 is a conserved checkpoint mediator protein that transduces replication-stress signal to downstream effector kinase. Loss of mrc1 checkpoint activity results in aberrant activation of late/dormant origins in the presence of hydroxyurea. Mrc1 was also suggested to regulate orders of early-origin firing in a checkpoint-independent manner, but its mechanism was unknown. Here we identify HBS (Hsk1 Bypass Segment) on Mrc1. ∆HBS does not suppress late/dormant origin firing in the presence of hydroxyurea but causes precocious and enhanced activation of weak early-firing origins during normal S-phase progression, and bypasses the requirement of Hsk1 for growth. This may be caused by disruption of intramolecular binding between HBS and NTHBS (N-terminal-Target-of-HBS). Hsk1 binds to Mrc1 through HBS and phosphorylates a segment adjacent to NTHBS, disrupting intramolecular interaction. We propose that Mrc1 exerts “brake” on initiation (through intra-molecular interaction) and this brake can be released (upon loss of intra-molecular interaction) by either Hsk1-mediated phosphorylation of Mrc1 or deletion of HBS (or phosphomimic mutation) which can bypass the function of Hsk1 for growth. The “brake” mechanism may explain the checkpoint-independent regulation of early origin firing in fission yeast.

Project description:The chromatin-based rules governing the selection and activation of replication origins remain to be elucidated. It is believed that DNA replication initiates from open chromatin domains, thus replication origins residing in regulatory elements that are located at open and active chromatin. However, we report here that lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), which biochemically catalyzes H3K4me1/2 demethylation to favor chromatin condensation, interacts with the DNA replication machinery. We found that LSD1 level peaks in early S phase. We demonstrated that LSD1 promotes DNA replication by facilitating origin firing in euchromatic regions and through regulating replication timing. Indeed, euchromatic zones enriched in H3K4me2 are the preferred sites for pre-RC binding in early replication. Remarkably, LSD1 deficiency leads to a genome-wide switch from early to late in replication timing. We showed that LSD1-promoted DNA replication is mechanistically linked to the loading of TICRR (TopBP1-Interacting Checkpoint and Replication Regulator) onto the pre-RC and subsequent recruitment of the initiator Cdc45 during origin firing. Together, these results reveal an unexpected role for LSD1 in euchromatic origin firing and replication timing.

Project description:How early- and late-firing origins are selected on eukaryotic chromosomes is largely unknown. Here we show that Mrc1, a conserved factor required for stabilization of stalled replication forks, selectively binds to the early-firing origins in a manner independent of Cdc45 and Hsk1 kinase in fission yeast. In mrc1∆ (and in swi1∆ to some extent), efficiency of firing is stimulated and its timing is advanced selectively at those origins that are normally bound by Mrc1. In contrast, the late or inefficient origins which are not bound by Mrc1 are not activated in mrc1∆. The enhanced firing and precocious Cdc45 loading at Mrc1-bound early-firing origins are not observed in a checkpoint mutant of mrc1, suggesting that non-checkpoint function is involved in maintaining the normal program of early-firing origins. We propose that pre-firing binding of Mrc1 is an important marker of early-firing origins which are precociously activated by the absence this protein. Mrc1 binding profiles at G1/S boundary or early S-phase in wild type vs hsk1-89 mutant.
