Evidence obtained from studies with yeast and Xenopus indicate that the initiation of DNA replication is a multistep process. The origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6p, and minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins are required for establishing prereplication complexes, upon which initiation is triggered by the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases and the Dbf4p-dependent kinase Cdc7p. The identification of human homologues of these replication proteins allows investigation of S-phase regulation in mammalian cells. Using centrifugal elutriation of several human cell lines, we demonstrate that whereas human Orc2 (hOrc2p) and hMcm proteins are present throughout the cell cycle, hCdc6p levels vary, being very low in early G(1) and accumulating until cells enter mitosis. hCdc6p can be polyubiquitinated in vivo, and it is stabilized by proteasome inhibitors. Similar to the case for hOrc2p, a significant fraction of hCdc6p is present on chromatin throughout the cell cycle, whereas hMcm proteins alternate between soluble and chromatin-bound forms. Loading of hMcm proteins onto chromatin occurs in late mitosis concomitant with the destruction of cyclin B, indicating that the mitotic kinase activity inhibits prereplication complex formation in human cells. 相似文献

Human origin recognition complex large subunit is degraded by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis after initiation of DNA replication 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Eukaryotic cells possess overlapping mechanisms to ensure that DNA replication is restricted to the S phase of the cell cycle. The levels of hOrc1p, the largest subunit of the human origin recognition complex, vary during the cell division cycle. In rapidly proliferating cells, hOrc1p is expressed and targeted to chromatin as cells exit mitosis and prereplicative complexes are formed. Later, as cyclin A accumulates and cells enter S phase, hOrc1p is ubiquitinated on chromatin and then degraded. hOrc1p destruction occurs through the proteasome and is signaled in part by the SCF(Skp2) ubiquitin-ligase complex. Other hORC subunits are stable throughout the cell cycle. The regulation of hOrc1p may be an important mechanism in maintaining the ploidy in human cells. 相似文献

The locations of the origin recognition complex (ORC) in mammalian genomes have been elusive. We have therefore analyzed the DNA sequences associated with human ORC via in vivo cross-linking and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Antibodies specific for hOrc2 protein precipitate chromatin fragments that also contain other ORC proteins, suggesting that the proteins form multisubunit complexes on chromatin in vivo. A binding region for ORC was identified at the CpG island upstream of the human TOP1 gene. Nascent strand abundance assays show that the ORC binding region coincides with an origin of bidirectional replication. The TOP1 gene includes two well characterized matrix attachment regions. The matrix attachment region elements analyzed contain no ORC and constitute no sites for replication initiation. In initial attempts to use the chromatin immunoprecipitation technique for the identification of additional ORC sites in the human genome, we isolated a sequence close to another actively transcribed gene (TOM1) and an alphoid satellite sequence that underlies centromeric heterochromatin. Nascent strand abundance assays gave no indication that the heterochromatin sequence serves as a replication initiation site, suggesting that an ORC on this site may perform functions other than replication initiation. 相似文献

The origin recognition complex (ORC) is a conserved heterohexamer required for the formation of pre-replication (pre-RC) complexes at origins of DNA replication. Many studies of ORC subunits have been carried out in transformed human cell lines but the properties of ORC in primary cells have not been addressed. Here, we compare the expression levels and chromatin-association of ORC subunits in HeLa cells to the primary human cell line, WI38, and a virally transformed derivative of WI38, VA13. ORC subunits 2 and 4 were highly overexpressed in both HeLa and VA13, whereas ORC1 levels were elevated in VA13 but considerably higher in HeLa cells. Cellular extraction revealed that the proportion of ORC2 and ORC4 subunits bound to chromatin was similar in all three cell lines throughout the cell-cycle. In contrast, very little ORC1 was associated with chromatin after extraction of primary WI38 cells, whereas the majority of overexpressed ORC1 in both HeLa and VA13 co-fractionated with chromatin throughout the cell-cycle. Although none of the cell lines displayed significant changes in the levels or chromatin-association of ORC during the cell-cycle, the chromatin-associated fraction of ORC1 displayed an increase in apparent molecular weight during S-phase. Similar experiments comparing immortalized CHO cells to an isogenic virally transformed derivative revealed no changes in levels of ORC subunits but an increase in the proportion of all three ORC subunits associated with chromatin. These results demonstrate a complex influence of cellular immortalization and transformation properties on the expression and regulation of ORC subunits. These results extend the potential link between cancer and deregulation of pre-RC proteins, and underscore the importance of considering the transformation status of cell lines when working with these proteins. 相似文献

Previous work with yeast cells and with Xenopus egg extracts had shown that eukaryotic pre-replication complexes assemble on chromatin in a step-wise manner whereby specific loading factors promote the recruitment of essential Mcm proteins at pre-bound origin recognition complexes (ORC with proteins Orc1p–Orc6p). While the order of assembly—Mcm binding follows ORC binding—seems to be conserved in cycling mammalian cells in culture, it has not been determined whether mammalian Mcm proteins associate with ORC-bearing chromatin sites. We have used a chromatin immunoprecipitation approach to investigate the site of Mcm binding in a genomic region that has previously been shown to contain an ORC-binding site and an origin of replication. Using chromatin from HeLa cells in G1 phase, antibodies against Orc2p as well as antibodies against Mcm proteins specifically immunoprecipitate chromatin enriched for a DNA region that includes a replication origin. However, with chromatin from cells in S phase, only Orc2p-specific antibodies immunoprecipitate the origin-containing DNA region while Mcm-specific antibodies immunoprecipitate chromatin with DNA from all parts of the genomic region investigated. Thus, human Mcm proteins first assemble at or adjacent to bound ORC and move to other sites during genome replication. 相似文献

During the late M to the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the replication origin, leading to the assembly of the prereplicative complex for subsequent initiation of eukaryotic chromosome replication. We found that the cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of human ORC2, one of the six subunits of ORC, dissociates ORC2, -3, -4, and -5 (ORC2-5) subunits from chromatin and replication origins. Phosphorylation at Thr-116 and Thr-226 of ORC2 occurs by cyclin-dependent kinase during the S phase and is maintained until the M phase. Phosphorylation of ORC2 at Thr-116 and Thr-226 dissociated the ORC2-5 from chromatin. Consistent with this, the phosphomimetic ORC2 protein exhibited defective binding to replication origins as well as to chromatin, whereas the phosphodefective protein persisted in binding throughout the cell cycle. These results suggest that the phosphorylation of ORC2 dissociates ORC from chromatin and replication origins and inhibits binding of ORC to newly replicated DNA. 相似文献

Eukaryotic DNA replication begins with the binding of a six subunit origin recognition complex (ORC) to DNA. To study the assembly and function of mammalian ORC proteins in their native environment, HeLa cells were constructed that constitutively expressed an epitope-tagged, recombinant human Orc2 subunit that had been genetically altered. Analysis of these cell lines revealed that Orc2 contains a single ORC assembly domain that is required in vivo for interaction with all other ORC subunits, as well as two nuclear localization signals (NLSs) that are required for ORC accumulation in the nucleus. The recombinant Orc2 existed in the nucleus either as an ORC-(2-5) or ORC-(1-5) complex; no other combinations of ORC subunits were detected. Moreover, only ORC-(1-5) was bound to the chromatin fraction, suggesting that Orc1 is required in vivo to load ORC-(2-5) onto chromatin. Surprisingly, recombinant Orc2 suppressed expression of endogenous Orc2, revealing that mammalian cells limit the intracellular level of Orc2, and thereby limit the amount of ORC-(2-5) in the nucleus. Because this suppression required only the ORC assembly and NLS domains, these domains appear to constitute the functional domain of Orc2. 相似文献

We used protein extracts from proliferating human HeLa cells to support plasmid DNA replication in vitro. An extract with soluble nuclear proteins contains the major replicative chain elongation functions, whereas a high salt extract from isolated nuclei contains the proteins for initiation. Among the initiator proteins active in vitro are the origin recognition complex (ORC) and Mcm proteins. Recombinant Orc1 protein stimulates in vitro replication presumably in place of endogenous Orc1 that is known to be present in suboptimal amounts in HeLa cell nuclei. Partially purified endogenous ORC, but not recombinant ORC, is able to rescue immunodepleted nuclear extracts. Plasmid replication in the in vitro replication system is slow and of limited efficiency but robust enough to serve as a basis to investigate the formation of functional pre-replication complexes under biochemically defined conditions. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that cell cycle-dependent changes in the affinity of the origin recognition complex (ORC) for chromatin are involved in regulating initiation of DNA replication. To test this hypothesis, chromatin lacking functional ORCs was isolated from metaphase hamster cells and incubated in Xenopus egg extracts to initiate DNA replication. Intriguingly, Xenopus ORC rapidly bound to hamster somatic chromatin in a Cdc6-dependent manner and was then released, concomitant with initiation of DNA replication. Once pre-replication complexes (pre-RCs) were assembled either in vitro or in vivo, further binding of XlORC was inhibited. Neither binding nor release of XlORC was affected by inhibitors of either cyclin-dependent protein kinase activity or DNA synthesis. In contrast, inhibition of pre-RC assembly, either by addition of Xenopus geminin or by depletion of XlMcm proteins, augmented ORC binding by inhibiting ORC release. These results demonstrate a programmed release of XlORC from somatic cell chromatin as it enters S phase, consistent with the proposed role for ORC in preventing re-initiation of DNA replication during S phase. 相似文献

Initiation of eukaryotic genome duplication begins when a six-subunit origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to DNA. However, the mechanism by which this occurs in vivo and the roles played by individual subunits appear to differ significantly among organisms. Previous studies identified a soluble human ORC(2-5) complex in the nucleus, an ORC(1-5) complex bound to chromatin, and an Orc6 protein that binds weakly, if at all, to other ORC subunits. Here we show that stable ORC(1-6) complexes also can be purified from human cell extracts and that Orc6 and Orc1 each contain a single nuclear localization signal that is essential for nuclear localization but not for ORC assembly. The Orc6 nuclear localization signal, which is essential for Orc6 function, is facilitated by phosphorylation at its cyclin-dependent kinase consensus site and by association with Kpna6/1, nuclear transport proteins that did not co-purify with other ORC subunits. These and other results support a model in which Orc6, Orc1, and ORC(2-5) are transported independently to the nucleus where they can either assemble into ORC(1-6) or function individually. 相似文献

Accurate DNA replication requires proper regulation of replication licensing, which entails loading MCM-2-7 onto replication origins. In this paper, we provide the first comprehensive view of replication licensing in vivo, using video microscopy of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. As expected, MCM-2-7 loading in late M phase depended on the prereplicative complex (pre-RC) proteins: origin recognition complex (ORC), CDC-6, and CDT-1. However, many features we observed have not been described before: GFP-ORC-1 bound chromatin independently of ORC-2-5, and CDC-6 bound chromatin independently of ORC, whereas CDT-1 and MCM-2-7 DNA binding was interdependent. MCM-3 chromatin loading was irreversible, but CDC-6 and ORC turned over rapidly, consistent with ORC/CDC-6 loading multiple MCM-2-7 complexes. MCM-2-7 chromatin loading further reduced ORC and CDC-6 DNA binding. This dynamic behavior creates a feedback loop allowing ORC/CDC-6 to repeatedly load MCM-2-7 and distribute licensed origins along chromosomal DNA. During S phase, ORC and CDC-6 were excluded from nuclei, and DNA was overreplicated in export-defective cells. Thus, nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalization of licensing factors ensures that DNA replication occurs only once. 相似文献

The origin recognition complex (ORC) plays a central role in regulating the initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes. The level of the ORC1 subunit oscillates throughout the cell cycle, defining an ORC1 cycle. ORC1 accumulates in G1 and is degraded in S phase, although other ORC subunits (ORCs 2-5) remain at almost constant levels. The behavior of ORC components in human cell nuclei with respect to the ORC1 cycle demonstrates that ORCs 2-5 form a complex that is present throughout the cell cycle and that associates with ORC1 when it accumulates in G1 nuclei. ORCs 2-5 are found in both nuclease-insoluble and -soluble fractions. The appearance of nuclease-insoluble ORCs 2-5 parallels the increase in the level of ORC1 associating with nuclease-insoluble, non-chromatin nuclear structures. Thus, ORCs 2-5 are temporally recruited to nuclease-insoluble structures by formation of the ORC1-5 complex. An artificial reduction in the level of ORC1 in human cells by RNA interference results in a shift of ORC2 to the nuclease-soluble fraction, and the association of MCM proteins with chromatin fractions is also blocked by this treatment. These results indicate that ORC1 regulates the status of the ORC complex in human nuclei by tethering ORCs 2-5 to nuclear structures. This dynamic shift is further required for the loading of MCM proteins onto chromatin. Thus, the pre-replication complex in human cells may be regulated by the temporal accumulation of ORC1 in G1 nuclei. 相似文献

The origin recognition complex (ORC) has an important function in determining the initiation sites of DNA replication. In higher eukaryotes, ORC lacks sequence-specific DNA binding, and the mechanisms of ORC recruitment and origin determination are poorly understood. ORC is recruited with high efficiency to the Epstein-Barr virus origin of plasmid replication (OriP) through a complex mechanism involving interactions with the virus-encoded EBNA1 protein. We present evidence that ORC recruitment to OriP and DNA replication function depends on RGG-like motifs, referred to as LR1 and LR2, in the EBNA1 amino-terminal domain. Moreover, we show that LR1 and LR2 recruitment of ORC is RNA dependent. HMGA1a, which can functionally substitute for LR1 and LR2 domain, can also recruit ORC in an RNA-dependent manner. EBNA1 and HMGA1a RGG motifs bound to structured G-rich RNA, as did ORC1 peptides, which interact with EBNA1. RNase A treatment of cellular chromatin released a fraction of the total ORC, suggesting that ORC association with chromatin, and possibly cellular origins, is stabilized by RNA. We propose that structural RNA molecules mediate ORC recruitment at some cellular and viral origins, similar to OriP. 相似文献

Origin recognition complex (ORC), a six-protein complex, is the most likely initiator of chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotes. Throughout the cell cycle, ORC binds to chromatin at origins of DNA replication and functions as a 'landing pad' for the binding of other proteins, including Cdt1p, to form a prereplicative complex. In this study, we used yeast two-hybrid analysis to examine the interaction between Cdt1p and every ORC subunit. We observed potent interaction with Orc6p, and weaker interaction with Orc2p and Orc5p. Coimmunoprecipitation assay confirmed that Cdt1p interacted with Orc6p, as well as with Orc1p and Orc2p. We mapped the C-terminal region, and a middle region of Orc6p (amino acids residues 394-435, and 121-175, respectively), as important for interaction with Cdt1p. Cdt1p was purified to examine its direct interaction with ORC, and its effect on the activity of ORC. Glutathione-S-transferase pull-down analysis revealed that Cdt1p binds directly to ORC. Cdt1p neither bound to origin DNA and ATP nor affected ORC-binding to origin DNA and ATP. These results suggest that interaction of Cdt1p with ORC is involved in the formation of the prereplicative complex, rather than in regulation of the activity of ORC. 相似文献

We have developed a genomic footprinting protocol which allows us to examine protein-DNA interactions at single copy chromosomal origins of DNA replication in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that active replication origins oscillate between two chromatin states during the cell cycle: an origin recognition complex (ORC)-dependent post-replicative state and a Cdc6p-dependent pre-replicative state. Furthermore, we show that both post- and pre-replicative complexes can form efficiently on closely apposed replicators. Surprisingly, ARS301 which is active as an origin on plasmids but not in its normal chromosomal location, forms ORC- and Cdc6p-dependent complexes in both its active and inactive contexts. Thus, although ORC and Cdc6p are essential for initiation, their binding is not sufficient to dictate origin use. 相似文献

The initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes requires the loading of the origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6, and minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins onto chromatin to form the preinitiation complex. In Xenopus egg extract, the proteins Orc1, Orc2, Cdc6, and Mcm4 are underphosphorylated in interphase and hyperphosphorylated in metaphase extract. We find that chromatin binding of ORC, Cdc6, and MCM proteins does not require cyclin-dependent kinase activities. High cyclin A-dependent kinase activity inhibits the binding and promotes the release of Xenopus ORC, Cdc6, and MCM from sperm chromatin, but has no effect on chromatin binding of control proteins. Cyclin A together with ORC, Cdc6 and MCM proteins is bound to sperm chromatin in DNA replicating pseudonuclei. In contrast, high cyclin E/cdk2 was not detected on chromatin, but was found soluble in the nucleoplasm. High cyclin E kinase activity allows the binding of Xenopus ORC and Cdc6, but not MCM, to sperm chromatin, even though the kinase does not phosphorylate MCM directly. We conclude that chromatin-bound cyclin A kinase controls DNA replication by protein phosphorylation and chromatin release of Cdc6 and MCM, whereas soluble cyclin E kinase prevents rereplication during the cell cycle by the inhibition of premature MCM chromatin association. 相似文献

Progression of cell cycle is regulated by sequential expression of cyclins, which associate with distinct cyclin kinases to drive the transition between different cell cycle phases. The complex of Cyclin A with cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) controls the DNA replication activity through phosphorylation of a set of chromatin factors, which critically influences the S phase transition. It has been shown that the direct interaction between the Cyclin A‐CDK2 complex and origin recognition complex subunit 1 (ORC1) mediates the localization of ORC1 to centrosomes, where ORC1 inhibits cyclin E‐mediated centrosome reduplication. However, the molecular basis underlying the specific recognition between ORC1 and cyclins remains elusive. Here we report the crystal structure of Cyclin A‐CDK2 complex bound to a peptide derived from ORC1 at 2.54 å resolution. The structure revealed that the ORC1 peptide interacts with a hydrophobic groove, termed cyclin binding groove (CBG), of Cyclin A via a KXL motif. Distinct from other identified CBG‐binding sequences, an arginine residue flanking the KXL motif of ORC1 inserts into a neighboring acidic pocket, contributing to the strong ORC1‐Cyclin A association. Furthermore, structural and sequence analysis of cyclins reveals divergence on the ORC1‐binding sites, which may underpin their differential ORC1‐binding activities. This study provides a structural basis of the specific ORC1‐cyclins recognition, with implication in development of novel inhibitors against the cyclin/CDK complexes. 相似文献

Yph1p,an ORC-interacting protein: potential links between cell proliferation control,DNA replication,and ribosome biogenesis 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Immunoprecipitation of the origin recognition complex (ORC) from yeast extracts identified Yph1p, an essential protein containing a BRCT domain. Two Yph1p complexes were characterized. Besides ORC, MCM proteins, cell-cycle regulatory proteins, checkpoint proteins, 60S ribosomal proteins, and preribosome particle proteins were found to be associated with Yph1p. Yph1p is predominantly nucleolar and is required for 60S ribosomal subunit biogenesis and possibly for translation on polysomes. Proliferating cells depleted of Yph1p arrest in G(1) or G(2), with no cells in S phase, or significantly delay S phase progression after release from a hydroxyurea arrest. Yph1p levels decline as cells commit to exit the cell cycle, and levels vary depending on energy source. Yph1p may link cell proliferation control to DNA replication, ribosome biogenesis, and translation on polysomes. 相似文献
