Cdc45, which binds to the minichromosomal maintenance (Mcm) proteins, has a pivotal role in the initiation and elongation steps of chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotes. Here we show that throughout the cell cycle in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc45 forms a complex with a novel factor, Sld3. Consistently, Sld3 and Cdc45 associate simultaneously with replication origins in the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay: both proteins associate with early-firing origins in G(1) phase and with late-firing origins in late S phase. Moreover, the origin associations of Sld3 and Cdc45 are mutually dependent. The temperature-sensitive sld3 mutation confers a defect in DNA replication at the restrictive temperature and reduces an interaction not only between Sld3 and Cdc45, but also between Cdc45 and Mcm2. These results suggest that the Sld3-Cdc45 complex associates with replication origins through Mcm proteins. At the restrictive temperature in sld3-5 cells, replication factor A, a single-strand DNA binding protein, does not associate with origins. Therefore, the origin association of Sld3-Cdc45 complex is prerequisite for origin unwinding in the initiation of DNA replication. 相似文献

The initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires the assembly of active CMG (Cdc45‐MCM‐GINS) helicases at replication origins by a set of conserved and essential firing factors. This process is controlled during the cell cycle by cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) and Dbf4‐dependent kinase (DDK), and in response to DNA damage by the checkpoint kinase Rad53/Chk1. Here we show that Sld3, previously shown to be an essential CDK and Rad53 substrate, is recruited to the inactive MCM double hexamer in a DDK‐dependent manner. Sld3 binds specifically to DDK‐phosphorylated peptides from two MCM subunits (Mcm4, 6) and then recruits Cdc45. MCM mutants that cannot bind Sld3 or Sld3 mutants that cannot bind phospho‐MCM or Cdc45 do not support replication. Moreover, phosphomimicking mutants in Mcm4 and Mcm6 bind Sld3 without DDK and facilitate DDK‐independent replication. Thus, Sld3 is an essential “reader” of DDK phosphorylation, integrating signals from three distinct protein kinase pathways to coordinate DNA replication during S phase. 相似文献

Initiation of chromosome DNA replication in eukaryotes is tightly regulated through assembly of replication factors at replication origins. Here, we investigated dependence of the assembly of the initiation complex on particular factors using temperature-sensitive fission yeast mutants. The psf3-1 mutant, a GINS component mutant, arrested with unreplicated DNA at the restrictive temperature and the DNA content gradually increased, suggesting a defect in DNA replication. The mutation impaired GINS complex formation, as shown by pull-down experiments. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays indicated that GINS integrity was required for origin loading of Psf2, Cut5 and Cdc45, but not Sld3. In contrast, loading of Psf2 onto origins depended on Sld3 and Cut5 but not on Cdc45. These results suggest that Sld3 functions furthest upstream in initiation complex assembly, followed by GINS and Cut5, then Cdc45. Consistent with this conclusion, Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase (DDK) but not cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) was required for Sld3 loading, whereas recruitment of the other factors depended on both kinases. These results suggest that DDK and CDK regulate distinct steps in activation of replication origins in fission yeast. 相似文献

Many replication proteins assemble on the pre-RC-formed replication origins and constitute the pre-initiation complex (pre-IC). This complex formation facilitates the conversion of Mcm2–7 in the pre-RC to an active DNA helicase, the Cdc45–Mcm–GINS (CMG) complex. Two protein kinases, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK), work to complete the formation of the pre-IC. Each kinase is responsible for a distinct step of the process in yeast; Cdc45 associates with origins in a DDK-dependent manner, whereas the association of GINS with origins depends on CDK. These associations with origins also require specific initiation proteins: Sld3 for Cdc45; and Dpb11, Sld2, and Sld3 for GINS. Functional homologs of these proteins exist in metazoa, although pre-IC formation cannot be separated by requirement of DDK and CDK because of experimental limitations. Once the replicative helicase is activated, the origin DNA is unwound, and bidirectional replication forks are established.The main events at the initiation step of DNA replication are the unwinding of double-stranded DNA and subsequent recruitment of DNA polymerases, to start DNA synthesis. Eukaryotic cells require an active DNA helicase to unwind the origin DNA. The core components of the replicative helicase, Mcm2–7, are loaded as a head-to-head double hexamer connected via their amino-terminal rings (Evrin et al. 2009; Remus et al. 2009; Gambus et al. 2011) onto Orc-associated origins, to form the pre-RC in late M and G1 phases (see Bell and Kaguni 2013). However, Mcm2–7 alone does not show DNA helicase activity at replication origins. After the formation of the pre-RC, other replication factors assemble on origins, and the pre-initiation complex (pre-IC) is formed. The pre-IC is defined as a complex formed just before the initiation of DNA replication (Zou and Stillman 1998); in yeast, it contains at least seven additional factors: Cdc45, GINS, Dpb11, Sld2, Sld3, Cdc45, and DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε) (Muramatsu et al. 2010). The formation of the pre-IC is a prerequisite for the activation of the Mcm2–7 helicase; two additional factors, Cdc45 and GINS, associate with Mcm2–7 and form a tight complex, the Cdc45–Mcm–GINS (CMG) complex (Gambus et al. 2006; Moyer et al. 2006). This reaction requires components of the pre-IC and two protein kinases, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) (for reviews, see Labib 2010; Masai et al. 2010; Tanaka and Araki 2010). In this article, we summarize and discuss the manner via which the pre-IC is formed in yeasts and metazoa. Although there are some discrepancies, the process of formation of the pre-IC is conserved fairly well in these organisms. 相似文献

The replication fork helicase in eukaryotic cells is comprised of Cdc45, Mcm2-7, and GINS (CMG complex). In budding yeast, Sld3, Sld2, and Dpb11 are required for the initiation of DNA replication, but Sld3 and Dpb11 do not travel with the replication fork. Sld3 and Cdc45 bind to early replication origins during the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, whereas Sld2, GINS, polymerase ε, and Dpb11 form a transient preloading complex that associates with origins during S phase. We show here that Sld3 binds tightly to origin single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). CDK-phosphorylated Sld3 binds to origin ssDNA with similar high affinity. Origin ssDNA does not disrupt the interaction between Sld3 and Dpb11, and origin ssDNA does not disrupt the interaction between Sld3 and Cdc45. However, origin ssDNA substantially disrupts the interaction between Sld3 and Mcm2-7. GINS and Sld3 compete with one another for binding to Mcm2-7. However, in a mixture of Sld3, GINS, and Mcm2-7, origin ssDNA inhibits the interaction between Sld3 and Mcm2-7, whereas origin ssDNA promotes the association between GINS and Mcm2-7. We also show that origin single-stranded DNA promotes the formation of the CMG complex. We conclude that origin single-stranded DNA releases Sld3 from Mcm2-7, allowing GINS to bind Mcm2-7. 相似文献

Sld7, an Sld3-associated protein required for efficient chromosomal DNA replication in budding yeast
Tanaka T Umemori T Endo S Muramatsu S Kanemaki M Kamimura Y Obuse C Araki H 《The EMBO journal》2011,30(10):2019-2030
Genetic screening of yeast for sld (synthetic lethality with dpb11) mutations has identified replication proteins, including Sld2, -3, and -5, and clarified the molecular mechanisms underlying eukaryotic chromosomal DNA replication. Here, we report a new replication protein, Sld7, identified by rescreening of sld mutations. Throughout the cell cycle, Sld7 forms a complex with Sld3, which associates with replication origins in a complex with Cdc45, binds to Dpb11 when phosphorylated by cyclin-dependent kinase, and dissociates from origins once DNA replication starts. However, Sld7 does not move with the replication fork. Sld7 binds to the nonessential N-terminal portion of Sld3 and reduces its affinity for Cdc45, a component of the replication fork. Although Sld7 is not essential for cell growth, its absence reduces the level of cellular Sld3, delays the dissociation from origins of GINS, a component of the replication fork, and slows S-phase progression. These results suggest that Sld7 is required for the proper function of Sld3 at the initiation of DNA replication. 相似文献

Initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is regulated through the ordered assembly of replication complexes at origins of replication. Association of Cdc45 with the origins is a crucial step in assembly of the replication machinery, hence can be considered a target for the regulation of origin activation. To examine the process required for SpCdc45 loading, we isolated fission yeast SpSld3, a counterpart of budding yeast Sld3 that interacts with Cdc45. SpSld3 associates with the replication origin during G1-S phases and this association depends on Dbf4-dependent (DDK) kinase activity. In the corresponding period, SpSld3 interacts with minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins and then with SpCdc45. A temperature-sensitive sld3-10 mutation suppressed by the multicopy of the sna41+ encoding SpCdc45 impairs loading of SpCdc45 onto chromatin. In addition, this mutation leads to dissociation of preloaded Cdc45 from chromatin in the hydroxyurea-arrested S phase, and DNA replication upon removal of hydroxyurea is retarded. Thus, we conclude that SpSld3 is required for stable association of Cdc45 with chromatin both in initiation and elongation of DNA replication. The DDK-dependent origin association suggests that SpSld3 is involved in temporal regulation of origin firing. 相似文献

Mrc1 marks early-firing origins and coordinates timing and efficiency of initiation in fission yeast
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 the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In mrc1Δ cells (and in swi1Δ cells 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 mrc1Δ cells. 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 prefiring binding of Mrc1 is an important marker of early-firing origins which are precociously activated by the absence of this protein. 相似文献

Eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated from multiple origins that initiate throughout the S-phase of the cell cycle. Why all origins do not fire simultaneously at the beginning of S-phase is not known, but two kinase activities, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK), are continually required throughout the S-phase for all replication initiation events. Here, we show that the two CDK substrates Sld3 and Sld2 and their binding partner Dpb11, together with the DDK subunit Dbf4 are in low abundance in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Over-expression of these factors is sufficient to allow late firing origins of replication to initiate early and together with deletion of the histone deacetylase RPD3, promotes the firing of heterochromatic, dormant origins. We demonstrate that the normal programme of origin firing prevents inappropriate checkpoint activation and controls S-phase length in budding yeast. These results explain how the competition for limiting DDK kinase and CDK targets at origins regulates replication initiation kinetics during S-phase and establishes a unique system with which to investigate the biological roles of the temporal programme of origin firing. 相似文献

The initiation of DNA replication is a highly regulated process in eukaryotic cells, and central to the process of initiation is the assembly and activation of the replication fork helicase. The replication fork helicase is comprised of CMG (Cdc45, Mcm2–7, and GINS) in eukaryotic cells, and the mechanism underlying assembly of the CMG during S phase was studied in this article. We identified a point mutation of Sld3 that is specifically defective for Mcm3 and Mcm5 interaction (sld3-m10), and also identified a point mutation of Sld3 that is specifically defective for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) interaction (sld3-m9). Expression of wild-type levels of sld3-m9 resulted in a severe DNA replication defect with no recruitment of GINS to Mcm2–7, whereas expression of wild-type levels of sld3-m10 resulted in a severe replication defect with no Cdc45 recruitment to Mcm2–7. We propose a model for Sld3-mediated control of replication initiation, wherein Sld3 manages the proper assembly of the CMG during S phase. We also find that the biochemical functions identified for Sld3 are conserved in human Treslin, suggesting that Treslin orchestrates assembly of the CMG in human cells. 相似文献

DNA replication in eukaryotes is a multi-step process that consists of three main reactions: helicase loading (licensing), helicase activation (firing), and nascent DNA synthesis (elongation). Although the contributions of some chromatin regulatory factors in the licensing and elongation reaction have been determined, their functions in the firing reaction remain elusive. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sld3, Sld7, and Cdc45 (3–7–45) are rate-limiting in the firing reaction and simultaneous overexpression of 3–7–45 causes untimely activation of late and dormant replication origins. Here, we found that 3–7–45 overexpression not only activated dormant origins in the silenced locus, HMLα, but also exerted an anti-silencing effect at this locus. For these, interaction between Sld3 and Esa1, a conserved histone acetyltransferase, was responsible. Moreover, the Sld3–Esa1 interaction was required for the untimely activation of late origins. These results reveal the Sld3–Esa1 interaction as a novel level of regulation in the firing reaction. 相似文献

Background
In budding yeast, the replication checkpoint slows progress through S phase by inhibiting replication origin firing. In mammals, the replication checkpoint inhibits both origin firing and replication fork movement. To find out which strategy is employed in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we used microarrays to investigate the use of origins by wild-type and checkpoint-mutant strains in the presence of hydroxyurea (HU), which limits the pool of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) and activates the replication checkpoint. The checkpoint-mutant cells carried deletions either of rad3 (which encodes the fission yeast homologue of ATR) or cds1 (which encodes the fission yeast homologue of Chk2).Results
Our microarray results proved to be largely consistent with those independently obtained and recently published by three other laboratories. However, we were able to reconcile differences between the previous studies regarding the extent to which fission yeast replication origins are affected by the replication checkpoint. We found (consistent with the three previous studies after appropriate interpretation) that, in surprising contrast to budding yeast, most fission yeast origins, including both early- and late-firing origins, are not significantly affected by checkpoint mutations during replication in the presence of HU. A few origins (~3%) behaved like those in budding yeast: they replicated earlier in the checkpoint mutants than in wild type. These were located primarily in the heterochromatic subtelomeric regions of chromosomes 1 and 2. Indeed, the subtelomeric regions defined by the strongest checkpoint restraint correspond precisely to previously mapped subtelomeric heterochromatin. This observation implies that subtelomeric heterochromatin in fission yeast differs from heterochromatin at centromeres, in the mating type region, and in ribosomal DNA, since these regions replicated at least as efficiently in wild-type cells as in checkpoint-mutant cells.Conclusion
The fact that ~97% of fission yeast replication origins – both early and late – are not significantly affected by replication checkpoint mutations in HU-treated cells suggests that (i) most late-firing origins are restrained from firing in HU-treated cells by at least one checkpoint-independent mechanism, and (ii) checkpoint-dependent slowing of S phase in fission yeast when DNA is damaged may be accomplished primarily by the slowing of replication forks. 相似文献14.
Sld3 is essential for the initiation of DNA replication, but Sld3 does not travel with a replication fork. GINS binds to Cdc45 and Mcm2-7 to form the replication fork helicase in eukaryotes. We purified Sld3, Cdc45, GINS, and Mcm2-7 and studied their interaction and assembly into complexes. Sld3 binds tightly to Cdc45 in the presence or absence of cyclin-dependent kinase activity. Furthermore, Sld3 binds tightly to the Mcm2-7 complex, and a ternary complex forms among Cdc45, Mcm2-7, and Sld3, with a 1:1:1 stoichiometry (CMS complex). GINS binds directly to Mcm2-7, and GINS competes with Sld3 for Mcm2-7 binding. GINS also binds directly to Cdc45, and GINS competes with Sld3 for Cdc45 binding. Cdc45, Mcm2-7, and GINS form a ternary complex with a stoichiometry of 1:1:1 (CMG complex). Size exclusion data reveal that when Sld3, Cdc45, Mcm2-7, and GINS are added together, the result is a mixture of CMS and CMG complexes. The data suggest that GINS and Sld3 compete with one another for Mcm2-7 and Cdc45 binding. Our results are consistent with a model wherein GINS trades places with Sld3 at a replication origin, contributing to the activation of the replication fork helicase. 相似文献

The Cdc45 protein is crucial for the initiation of chromosome replication in eukaryotic cells, as it allows the activation of prereplication complexes (pre-RCs) that contain the MCM helicase. This causes the unwinding of origins and the establishment of DNA replication forks. The incorporation of Cdc45 at nascent forks is a highly regulated and poorly understood process that requires, in budding yeast, the Sld3 protein and the GINS complex. Previous studies suggested that Sld3 is also important for the progression of DNA replication forks after the initiation step, as are Cdc45 and GINS. In contrast, we show here that Sld3 does not move with DNA replication forks and only associates with MCM in an unstable manner before initiation. After the establishment of DNA replication forks from early origins, Sld3 is no longer essential for the completion of chromosome replication. Unlike Sld3, GINS is not required for the initial recruitment of Cdc45 to origins and instead is necessary for stable engagement of Cdc45 with the nascent replisome. Like Cdc45, GINS then associates stably with MCM during S-phase. 相似文献

Proper eukaryotic DNA replication requires temporal separation of helicase loading from helicase activation and replisome assembly. Using an in?vitro assay for eukaryotic origin-dependent replication initiation, we investigated the control of these events. After helicase loading, we found that the Dbf4-dependent Cdc7 kinase (DDK) but not S phase cyclin-dependent kinase (S-CDK) is required for the initial origin recruitment of Sld3 and the Cdc45 helicase-activating protein. Likewise, in?vivo, DDK drives early-firing-origin recruitment of Cdc45 before activation of S-CDK. After S-CDK activation, a second helicase-activating protein (GINS) and the remainder of the replisome are recruited to the origin. Finally, recruitment of lagging but not leading strand DNA polymerases depends on Mcm10 and DNA unwinding. Our studies identify distinct roles for DDK and S-CDK during helicase activation and support a model in which the leading strand DNA polymerase is recruited prior to origin DNA unwinding and RNA primer synthesis. 相似文献

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play crucial roles in promoting DNA replication and preventing rereplication in eukaryotic cells [1-4]. In budding yeast, CDKs promote DNA replication by phosphorylating two proteins, Sld2 and Sld3, which generates binding sites for pairs of BRCT repeats (breast cancer gene 1 [BRCA1] C terminal repeats) in the Dpb11 protein [5, 6]. The Sld3-Dpb11-Sld2 complex generated by CDK phosphorylation is required for the assembly and activation of the Cdc45-Mcm2-7-GINS (CMG) replicative helicase. In response to DNA replication stress, the interaction between Sld3 and Dpb11 is blocked by the checkpoint kinase Rad53 [7], which prevents late origin firing [7, 8]. Here we show that the two key CDK sites in Sld3 are conserved in the human Sld3-related protein Treslin/ticrr and are essential for DNA replication. Moreover, phosphorylation of these two sites mediates interaction with the orthologous pair of BRCT repeats in the human Dpb11 ortholog, TopBP1. Finally, we show that DNA replication stress prevents the interaction between Treslin/ticrr and TopBP1 via the Chk1 checkpoint kinase. Our results indicate that Treslin/ticrr is a genuine ortholog of Sld3 and that the Sld3-Dpb11 interaction has remained a critical nexus of S phase regulation through eukaryotic evolution. 相似文献

Eukaryotic cells use multiple replication origins to replicate their large genomes. Some origins fire early during S phase whereas others fire late. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, initiator sequences (ARSs) are bound by the origin recognition complex (ORC). Cdc6p synthesized at the end of mitosis joins ORC and facilitates recruitment of Mcm proteins, which renders origins competent to fire. However, origins fire only upon the subsequent activation of S phase cyclin-dependent kinases (S-CDKs) and Dbf4/Cdc7 at the G1/S boundary. We have used a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay to measure the association with ARS sequences of DNA primase and the single-stranded DNA binding replication protein A (RPA) when fork movement is inhibited by hydroxyurea (HU). RPA's association with origins requires S-CDKs, Dbf4/Cdc7 kinase and an Mcm protein. The recruitment of DNA primase depends on RPA. Furthermore, early- and late-firing origins differ not in the timing of their recruitment of an Mcm protein, but in the timing of RPA's recruitment. RPA is recruited to early but not to late origins in HU. We also show that Rad53 kinase is required to prevent RPA association with a late origin in HU. Our data suggest that the origin unwinding accompanied by RPA association is a key step, regulated by S-CDKs, Dbf4/Cdc7 and Rad53p. Thus, in the presence of active S-CDKs and Dbf4/Cdc7, Mcms may open origins and thereby facilitate the loading of RPA. 相似文献

The temporal firing of replication origins throughout S phase in yeast depends on unknown determinants within the adjacent chromosomal environment. We demonstrate here that the state of histone acetylation of surrounding chromatin is an important regulator of temporal firing. Deletion of RPD3 histone deacetylase causes earlier origin firing and concurrent binding of the replication factor Cdc45p to origins. In addition, increased acetylation of histones in the vicinity of the late origin ARS1412 by recruitment of the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5p causes ARS1412 alone to fire earlier. These data indicate that histone acetylation is a direct determinant of the timing of origin firing. 相似文献
