The S-phase checkpoint activated at replication forks coordinates DNA replication when forks stall because of DNA damage or low deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate pools. We explore the involvement of replication forks in coordinating the S-phase checkpoint using dun1Delta cells that have a defect in the number of stalled forks formed from early origins and are dependent on the DNA damage Chk1p pathway for survival when replication is stalled. We show that providing additional origins activated in early S phase and establishing a paused fork at a replication fork pause site restores S-phase checkpoint signaling to chk1Delta dun1Delta cells and relieves the reliance on the DNA damage checkpoint pathway. Origin licensing and activation are controlled by the cyclin-Cdk complexes. Thus, oncogene-mediated deregulation of cyclins in the early stages of cancer development could contribute to genomic instability through a deficiency in the forks required to establish the S-phase checkpoint. 相似文献

Replication origins are licensed by loading MCM2-7 hexamers before entry into S phase. However, only ~10% of licensed origins are normally used in S phase, with the others remaining dormant. When fork progression is inhibited, dormant origins initiate nearby to ensure that all of the DNA is eventually replicated. In apparent contrast, replicative stress activates ataxia telangiectasia and rad-3-related (ATR) and Chk1 checkpoint kinases that inhibit origin firing. In this study, we show that at low levels of replication stress, ATR/Chk1 predominantly suppresses origin initiation by inhibiting the activation of new replication factories, thereby reducing the number of active factories. At the same time, inhibition of replication fork progression allows dormant origins to initiate within existing replication factories. The inhibition of new factory activation by ATR/Chk1 therefore redirects replication toward active factories where forks are inhibited and away from regions that have yet to start replication. This minimizes the deleterious consequences of fork stalling and prevents similar problems from arising in unreplicated regions of the genome. 相似文献

In the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, blocks to DNA replication elongation trigger the intra-S phase checkpoint that leads to the activation of the Cds1 kinase. Cds1 is required to both prevent premature entry into mitosis and to stabilize paused replication forks. Interestingly, although Cds1 is essential to maintain the viability of mutants defective in DNA replication elongation, mutants defective in DNA replication initiation require the Chk1 kinase. This suggests that defects in DNA replication initiation can lead to activation of the DNA damage checkpoint independent of the intra-S phase checkpoint. This might result from reduced origin firing that leads to an increase in replication fork stalling or replication fork collapse that activates the G2 DNA damage checkpoint. We refer to the Chk1-dependent, Cds1-independent phenotype as the rid phenotype (for replication initiation defective). Chk1 is active in rid mutants, and rid mutant viability is dependent on the DNA damage checkpoint, and surprisingly Mrc1, a protein required for activation of Cds1. Mutations in Mrc1 that prevent activation of Cds1 have no effect on its ability to support rid mutant viability, suggesting that Mrc1 has a checkpoint-independent role in maintaining the viability of mutants defective in DNA replication initiation. 相似文献

Regulation of cellular and SV40 virus origins of replication by Chk1-dependent intrinsic and UVC radiation-induced checkpoints 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
DNA replication is inhibited by DNA damage through cis effects on replication fork progression and trans effects associated with checkpoints. In this study, we employed a combined pulse labeling and neutral-neutral two-dimensional gel-based approach to compare the effects of a DNA damaging agent frequently employed to invoke checkpoints, UVC radiation, on the replication of cellular and simian virus 40 (SV40) chromosomes in intact cells. UVC radiation induced similar inhibitory effects on the initiation and elongation phases of cellular and SV40 DNA replication. The initiation-inhibitory effects occurred independently of p53 and were abrogated by the ATM and ATR kinase inhibitor caffeine, or the Chk1 kinase inhibitor UCN-01. Inhibition of cellular origins was also abrogated by the expression of a dominant-negative Chk1 mutant. These results indicate that UVC induces a Chk1- and ATR or ATM-dependent checkpoint that targets both cellular and SV40 viral replication origins. Loss of Chk1 and ATR or ATM function also stimulated initiation of cellular and viral DNA replication in the absence of UVC radiation, revealing the existence of a novel intrinsic checkpoint that targets both cellular and SV40 viral origins of replication in the absence of DNA damage or stalled DNA replication forks. This checkpoint inhibits the replication in early S phase cells of a region of the repetitive rDNA locus that replicates in late S phase. The ability to detect these checkpoints using the well characterized SV40 model system should facilitate analysis of the molecular basis for these effects. 相似文献

Activation of mammalian Chk1 during DNA replication arrest: a role for Chk1 in the intra-S phase checkpoint monitoring replication origin firing 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Checkpoints maintain order and fidelity in the cell cycle by blocking late-occurring events when earlier events are improperly executed. Here we describe evidence for the participation of Chk1 in an intra-S phase checkpoint in mammalian cells. We show that both Chk1 and Chk2 are phosphorylated and activated in a caffeine-sensitive signaling pathway during S phase, but only in response to replication blocks, not during normal S phase progression. Replication block-induced activation of Chk1 and Chk2 occurs normally in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) cells, which are deficient in the S phase response to ionizing radiation (IR). Resumption of synthesis after removal of replication blocks correlates with the inactivation of Chk1 but not Chk2. Using a selective small molecule inhibitor, cells lacking Chk1 function show a progressive change in the global pattern of replication origin firing in the absence of any DNA replication. Thus, Chk1 is apparently necessary for an intra-S phase checkpoint, ensuring that activation of late replication origins is blocked and arrested replication fork integrity is maintained when DNA synthesis is inhibited. 相似文献

DNA sequences prone to forming noncanonical structures (hairpins, triplexes, G-quadruplexes) cause DNA replication fork stalling, activate DNA damage responses, and represent hotspots of genomic instability associated with human disease. The 88-bp asymmetric polypurine-polypyrimidine (Pu-Py) mirror repeat tract from the human polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) intron 21 forms non-B DNA secondary structures in vitro. We show that the PKD1 mirror repeat also causes orientation-dependent fork stalling during replication in vitro and in vivo. When integrated alongside the c-myc replicator at an ectopic chromosomal site in the HeLa genome, the Pu-Py mirror repeat tract elicits a polar replication fork barrier. Increased replication protein A (RPA), Rad9, and ataxia telangiectasia- and Rad3-related (ATR) checkpoint protein binding near the mirror repeat sequence suggests that the DNA damage response is activated upon replication fork stalling. Moreover, the proximal c-myc origin of replication was not required to cause orientation-dependent checkpoint activation. Cells expressing the replication fork barrier display constitutive Chk1 phosphorylation and continued growth, i.e. checkpoint adaptation. Excision of the Pu-Py mirror repeat tract abrogates the DNA damage response. Adaptation to Chk1 phosphorylation in cells expressing the replication fork barrier may allow the accumulation of mutations that would otherwise be remediated by the DNA damage response. 相似文献

The regulation of DNA replication initiation is well documented, for both unperturbed and damaged cells. The regulation of elongation, or fork velocity, however, has only recently been revealed with the advent of new techniques allowing us to view DNA replication at the single cell and single DNA molecule levels. Normally in S phase, the progression of replication forks and their stability are regulated by the ATR-Claspin-Chk1 pathway. We recently showed that replication fork velocity varies across the human genome in normal and cancer cells, but that the velocity of a given fork is positively correlated with the distance between origins on the same DNA fiber. Accordingly, in DNA replication-deficient Bloom’s syndrome cells, reduced fork velocity is associated with an increased density of replication origins. Replication elongation is also regulated in response to DNA damage. In human colon carcinoma cells treated with the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin, DNA replication is inhibited both at the level of initiation and at the level of elongation through a Chk1-dependent checkpoint mechanism. Together, these new findings demonstrate that replication fork velocity (fork progression) is coordinated with inter-origin distance and that it can be actively slowed down by Chk1-dependent mechanisms in response to DNA damage. Thus, we propose that the intra-S phase checkpoint consist of at least three elements: (1) stabilization of damaged replication forks; (2) suppression of firing of late origins; and (3) arrests of normal ongoing forks to prevent further DNA lesions by replication of a damaged DNA template. 相似文献

Faithful DNA replication with correct termination is essential for genome stability and transmission of genetic information. Here we have investigated the potential roles of Topoisomerase II (Top2) and the RecQ helicase Sgs1 during late stages of replication. We find that cells lacking Top2 and Sgs1 (or Top3) display two different characteristics during late S/G2 phase, checkpoint activation and accumulation of asymmetric X-structures, which are both independent of homologous recombination. Our data demonstrate that checkpoint activation is caused by a DNA structure formed at the strongest rDNA replication fork barrier (RFB) during replication termination, and consistently, checkpoint activation is dependent on the RFB binding protein, Fob1. In contrast, asymmetric X-structures are formed independent of Fob1 at less strong rDNA replication fork barriers. However, both checkpoint activation and formation of asymmetric X-structures are sensitive to conditions, which facilitate fork merging and progression of replication forks through replication fork barriers. Our data are consistent with a redundant role of Top2 and Sgs1 together with Top3 (Sgs1-Top3) in replication fork merging at rDNA barriers. At RFB either Top2 or Sgs1-Top3 is essential to prevent formation of a checkpoint activating DNA structure during termination, but at less strong rDNA barriers absence of the enzymes merely delays replication fork merging, causing an accumulation of asymmetric termination structures, which are solved over time. 相似文献

FANCM binds and remodels replication fork structures in vitro. We report that in vivo, FANCM controls DNA chain elongation in an ATPase‐dependent manner. In the presence of replication inhibitors that do not damage DNA, FANCM counteracts fork movement, possibly by remodelling fork structures. Conversely, through damaged DNA, FANCM promotes replication and recovers stalled forks. Hence, the impact of FANCM on fork progression depends on the underlying hindrance. We further report that signalling through the checkpoint effector kinase Chk1 prevents FANCM from degradation by the proteasome after exposure to DNA damage. FANCM also acts in a feedback loop to stabilize Chk1. We propose that FANCM is a ringmaster in the response to replication stress by physically altering replication fork structures and by providing a tight link to S‐phase checkpoint signalling. 相似文献

In fission yeast, replication fork arrest activates the replication checkpoint effector kinase Cds1Chk2/Rad53 through the Rad3ATR/Mec1-Mrc1Claspin pathway. Hsk1, the Cdc7 homolog of fission yeast required for efficient initiation of DNA replication, is also required for Cds1 activation. Hsk1 kinase activity is required for induction and maintenance of Mrc1 hyperphosphorylation, which is induced by replication fork block and mediated by Rad3. Rad3 kinase activity does not change in an hsk1 temperature-sensitive mutant, and Hsk1 kinase activity is not affected by rad3 mutation. Hsk1 kinase vigorously phosphorylates Mrc1 in vitro, predominantly at non-SQ/TQ sites, but this phosphorylation does not seem to affect the Rad3 action on Mrc1. Interestingly, the replication stress-induced activation of Cds1 and hyperphosphorylation of Mrc1 is almost completely abrogated in an initiation-defective mutant of cdc45, but not significantly in an mcm2 or polε mutant. These results suggest that Hsk1-mediated loading of Cdc45 onto replication origins may play important roles in replication stress-induced checkpoint.Key words: Cdc7, Cdc45, checkpoint, DNA replication, Mrc1 相似文献

Uncoupling between DNA polymerases and helicase activities at replication forks, induced by diverse DNA lesions or replication inhibitors, generate long stretches of primed single-stranded DNA that is implicated in activation of the S-phase checkpoint. It is currently unclear whether nucleation of the essential replication factor RPA onto this substrate stimulates the ATR-dependent checkpoint response independently of its role in DNA synthesis. Using Xenopus egg extracts to investigate the role of RPA recruitment at uncoupled forks in checkpoint activation we have surprisingly found that in conditions in which DNA synthesis occurs, RPA accumulation at forks stalled by either replication stress or UV irradiation is dispensable for Chk1 phosphorylation. In contrast, when both replication fork uncoupling and RPA hyperloading are suppressed, Chk1 phosphorylation is inhibited. Moreover, we show that extracts containing reduced levels of RPA accumulate ssDNA and induce spontaneous, caffeine-sensitive, Chk1 phosphorylation in S-phase. These results strongly suggest that disturbance of enzymatic activities of replication forks, rather than RPA hyperloading at stalled forks, is a critical determinant of ATR activation. 相似文献

The checkpoint mediator protein Claspin facilitates the phosphorylation and activation of Chk1 by ATR and thus is required for efficient DNA replication. However, the physical association of Claspin homologues with replication factors and forks suggests that it might have additional functions in controlling DNA replication. DNA combing was used to examine the functions of Chk1 and Claspin at individual forks and to determine whether Claspin functions independently of Chk1. We find that Claspin, like Chk1, regulates fork stability and density in unperturbed cells. As expected, Chk1 regulates origin firing predominantly by controlling Cdk2-Cdc25 function. By contrast, Claspin functions independently of the Cdc25-Cdk2 pathway in mammalian cells. The findings support a model in which Claspin plays a role regulating replication fork stability that is independent of its function in mediating Chk1 phosphorylation. 相似文献

Living organisms experience constant threats that challenge their genome stability. The DNA damage checkpoint pathway coordinates cell cycle progression with DNA repair when DNA is damaged, thus ensuring faithful transmission of the genome. The spindle assembly checkpoint inhibits chromosome segregation until all chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle, ensuring accurate partition of the genetic material. Both the DNA damage and spindle checkpoint pathways participate in genome integrity. However, no clear connection between these two pathways has been described. Here, we analyze mutants in the BRCT domains of fission yeast Crb2, which mediates Chk1 activation, and provide evidence for a novel function of the Chk1 pathway. When the Crb2 mutants experience damaged replication forks upon inhibition of the religation activity of topoisomerase I, the Chk1 DNA damage pathway induces sustained activation of the spindle checkpoint, which in turn delays metaphase-to-anaphase transition in a Mad2-dependent fashion. This new pathway enhances cell survival and genome stability when cells undergo replicative stress in the absence of a proficient G(2)/M DNA damage checkpoint. 相似文献

DNA replication checkpoint is activated in response to replication stresses. It maintains the integrity of stalled replication forks and prevents premature segregation of largely unreplicated chromosomes. In budding yeast, Mec1 and Rad53 kinases (homologous to mammalian ATM/ATR and Chk2 kinases, respectively) are the main effectors of this checkpoint control. Using a yeast based screen, we have identified acompound (named here ENA) which inhibits DNA replication and activatesMec1/Rad53 checkpoint. A brief exposure to this compound stops fork progression at or near replication origin and renders the forks incompetent to resume replication despite the presence of a functional checkpoint. ENA also inhibits DNA synthesis in mammalian cells leading to the activation of ATM/ATR pathway and the induction of apoptosis in a p53 independent manner. Interestingly, ENA acts as an effective antiproliferative agent against a subset of cancer cell lines and as an anti-tumor agent against human xenografts in mice. Thus, ENA is a potent cell cycle inhibitor with conceivable therapeutic potential. 相似文献

Chk1 protein kinase maintains replication fork stability in metazoan cells in response to DNA damage and DNA replication inhibitors. Here, we have employed DNA fiber labeling to quantify, for the first time, the extent to which Chk1 maintains global replication fork rates during normal vertebrate S phase. We report that replication fork rates in Chk1−/− chicken DT40 cells are on average half of those observed with wild-type cells. Similar results were observed if Chk1 was inhibited or depleted in wild-type DT40 cells or HeLa cells by incubation with Chk1 inhibitor or small interfering RNA. In addition, reduced rates of fork extension were observed with permeabilized Chk1−/− cells in vitro. The requirement for Chk1 for high fork rates during normal S phase was not to suppress promiscuous homologous recombination at replication forks, because inhibition of Chk1 similarly slowed fork progression in XRCC3−/− DT40 cells. Rather, we observed an increased number of replication fibers in Chk1−/− cells in which the nascent strand is single-stranded, supporting the idea that slow global fork rates in unperturbed Chk1−/− cells are associated with the accumulation of aberrant replication fork structures. 相似文献

In the metazoan replication timing program, clusters of replication origins located in different subchromosomal domains fire at different times during S phase. We have used Xenopus laevis egg extracts to drive an accelerated replication timing program in mammalian nuclei. Although replicative stress caused checkpoint-induced slowing of the timing program, inhibition of checkpoint kinases in an unperturbed S phase did not accelerate it. Lowering cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity slowed both replication rate and progression through the timing program, whereas raising Cdk activity increased them. Surprisingly, modest alteration of Cdk activity changed the amount of DNA synthesized during different stages of the timing program. This was associated with a change in the number of active replication factories, whereas the distribution of origins within active factories remained relatively normal. The ability of Cdks to differentially effect replication initiation, factory activation, and progression through the timing program provides new insights into the way that chromosomal DNA replication is organized during S phase. 相似文献

Chk1 phosphorylation by the PI3-like kinases ATR and ATM is critical for its activation and its role in prevention of premature mitotic entry in response to DNA damage or stalled replication. The breast and ovarian tumor suppressor, BRCA1, is among several checkpoint mediators that are required for Chk1 activation by ATM and ATR. Previously we showed that BRCA1 is necessary for Chk1 phosphorylation and activation following ionizing radiation. BRCA1 has been implicated in S-phase checkpoint control yet its mechanism of action is not well characterized. Here we report that BRCA1 is critical for Chk1 phosphorylation in response to inhibition of replication by either cisplatin or hydroxyurea. While Chk1 phosphorylation of S317 is fully dependent on BRCA1, additional proteins may mediate S345 phosphorylation at later time points. In addition, we show that a subset of phosphorylated Chk1 is released from the chromatin in a BRCA1-dependent manner which may lead to the phosphorylation of Chk1 substrate, Cdc25C, on S216 and to S-phase checkpoint activation. Inhibition of Chk1 kinase by UCN-01 or expression of Chk1 phosphorylation mutants in which the serine residues were substituted with alanine residues abrogates BRCA1-dependent cell cycle arrest in response replication inhibition. These data reveal that BRCA1 facilitates Chk1 phosphorylation and its partial chromatin dissociation following replication inhibition that is likely to be required for S-phase checkpoint signaling. 相似文献

We investigated mitotic delay during replication arrest (the S-M checkpoint) in DT40 B-lymphoma cells deficient in the Chk1 or Chk2 kinase. We show here that cells lacking Chk1, but not those lacking Chk2, enter mitosis with incompletely replicated DNA when DNA synthesis is blocked, but only after an initial delay. This initial delay persists when S-M checkpoint failure is induced in Chk2-/- cells with the Chk1 inhibitor UCN-01, indicating that it does not depend on Chk1 or Chk2 activity. Surprisingly, dephosphorylation of tyrosine 15 did not accompany Cdc2 activation during premature entry to mitosis in Chk1-/- cells, although mitotic phosphorylation of cyclin B2 did occur. Previous studies have shown that Chk1 is required to stabilize stalled replication forks during replication arrest, and strikingly, premature mitosis occurs only in Chk1-deficient cells which have lost the capacity to synthesize DNA as a result of progressive replication fork inactivation. These results suggest that Chk1 maintains the S-M checkpoint indirectly by preserving the viability of replication structures and that it is the continued presence of such structures, rather than the activation of Chk1 per se, which delays mitosis until DNA replication is complete. 相似文献

Chk1 regulates the density of active replication origins during the vertebrate S phase 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) preserves genome integrity when replication is performed on damaged templates. Recently, Chk1 has also been implicated in regulating different aspects of unperturbed S phase. Using mammalian and avian cells with compromised Chk1 activity, we show that an increase in active replicons compensates for inefficient DNA polymerisation. In the absence of damage, loss of Chk1 activity correlates with the frequent stalling and, possibly, collapse of active forks and activation of adjacent, previously suppressed, origins. In human cells, super-activation of replication origins is restricted to pre-existing replication factories. In avian cells, in contrast, Chk1 deletion also correlates with the super-activation of replication factories and loss of temporal continuity in the replication programme. The same phenotype is induced in wild-type avian cells when Chk1 or ATM/ATR is inhibited. These observations show that Chk1 regulates replication origin activation and contributes to S-phase progression in somatic vertebrate cells. 相似文献
