Project description:Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) is composed of six subunits, ORC1-6, and the entire complex loads excess MCM2-7 on chromosomes to promote initiation of DNA replication in organisms ranging from S. cerevisiae to humans. ORC is also believed to be important for origin specification. Mapping of origins in the cancer cell lines engineered to delete three of the subunits, ORC1, ORC2 or ORC5 shows that origin specification continues at mostly the same sites in the absence of ORC. The few hundred origins that were up-regulated in the absence of ORC suggest that GC/TA skewness and simple repeat sequences facilitate origin selection in the absence of the six-subunit ORC. In the absence of ORC, MCM2-7 association with chromatin continues to be sufficiently in excess to license reserve origins, used under replication stress, and to permit re-replication, which requires repeated loading of MCM2-7 at origins in the same cell-cycle. Thus, origin specification and excess MCM2-7 loading on origins can be executed in mammalian cancer cells in the absence of the six-subunit ORC.

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition.In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS).This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer(DH).In S-phase the MCM2-7DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS(CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork.Here,we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC fromo rigins.This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome.Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element.Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion.Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition. In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS). This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer (DH). In S-phase the MCM2-7 DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork. Here, we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC from origins. This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome. Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element. Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion. Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.

Project description:The origin recognition complex (ORC) nucleates DNA replication initiation in eukaryotic cells. This six-protein complex binds replication origin DNA, recruits other initiation factors and facilitates loading of the DNA helicase. Studying the function of individual ORC subunits during pre-RC formation has been hampered by the requirement of most subunits for DNA binding. In this study, we investigate the function of the S. cerevisiae Orc6 subunit, the only subunit not required for DNA binding. In vivo, depletion of Orc6 inhibits pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) assembly and maintenance. In vitro, ORC lacking Orc6 fails to interact with Cdt1 and to load the Mcm2-7 helicase onto origin DNA. We demonstrate that two regions of Orc6 bind Cdt1 directly and that the extreme C-terminus of Orc6 (Orc6-CTD) interacts tightly with the remaining five ORC subunits. Replacing Orc6 with a fusion protein linking Cdt1 to the Orc6-CTD results in an ORC complex that loads Mcm2-7 onto DNA. Interestingly, this complex can only perform a single round of Mcm2-7 loading, suggesting that a dynamic association of Cdt1 with ORC is required for multiple rounds of pre-RC assembly.

Project description:Sumoylation is emerging as a post-translation modification important for chromosome duplication and stability. The origin recognition complex (ORC), which directs DNA replication initiation by loading the MCM replicative helicases onto origins, is sumoylated in both yeast and human cells. However, the biological consequences of ORC sumoylation are largely unclear. Here we report the effects of hyper- and hypo-sumoylation of yeast ORC using multiple approaches. We show that ORC hyper-sumoylation preferentially reduces the activity of a subset of early origins, while Orc2 hypo-sumoylation has an opposing effect. Mechanistically, ORC hyper-sumoylation leads to reduced MCM loading in vitro and diminished MCM chromatin association in vivo. The importance of an appropriate level of ORC sumoylation is suggested by the data that either hyper- or hypo-sumoylation of ORC results in genome instability and a dependence on other genome maintenance factors for cell fitness. Thus, yeast ORC sumoylation status needs to be fine-tuned to achieve optimal origin activity control and genome stability.
