  1. Why study DNA replication? • Attractive model for multicellular eukaryotes • Small, sequenced genomes • Genomic tools available • Rapidly dividing cell cultures • Tractable developmental programs Arabidopsis Rice Intercalary meristem Leaf sheath Leaf blade

  2. Why study DNA replication? • Potential practical applications • Genetic engineering of artificial chromosomes • Manipulating the endocycle • New strategies for geminivirus resistance Cotton leaf curl disease Tomato leaf curl disease

  3. One hour BrdU Pulse Fix Cells and Isolate Nuclei Experimental Design FACS “synchronization” IP BrdU-labeled DNA Label IP and Input DNA with Cy3/5 Hybridize to Chr4 Tiling Array 20000 probes 1 kb PCR products 95% coverage Normalize Smooth

  4. Arabidopsis Chromosome 4 genes transposable elements nucleolar organizing region centromere

  5. L E L E L E L E L Replication Timing Profile E log (early/late) L chromosome coordinate

  6. Origin assembly Pre-replication complex Initiation complexes assemble in late M and early G1 ORC - origin recognition complex MCM - replicative DNA helicase CDT1/CDC6 - MCM loader licensing

  7. MCM5/7 are released during mitosis DAPI DIC Merge MCM5 MCM7 N. tabacumcultured cells (Nt-1)

  8. Proteosome CDKA P ORC1 regulation? CDT1 MCM subunits How is licensing regulated in plants? ? X A different CDT regulatory protein? Geminin X Other mechanisms? cytoplasm nucleus
