Replicator Components of a Replication Origin Initiator “Replicon” = stretch of DNA replicated by the forks from a single origin Physical Origin (Jacob et al., 1963) Initiation
yeast chromosomal DNA insert library of different inserts transfect into leu- yeast selectable marker gene Autonomously Replicating Sequences Only yeast containing plasmids with certain sequences will be able to proliferate and form colonies on plates lacking leucine. This defines “Autonomously Replicating Sequences” or ARSs.
• Budding yeast replication origins map within such ARS elements on both chromosomal and plasmid DNA. • ARS elements comprise a short 11 bp A element or ‘ARS consensus sequence’: 5’-(A/T)TTTA(T/C)(A/G)TTT(A/T)-3’, plus flanking regions of 100 - 200 bp (‘B’ elements) that enhance origin function. ACS B1 B3 B2 Characteristics of ARSs
Which proteins bind to and define eukaryotic replication origins?
ORC • ORIGIN RECOGNITION COMPLEX • ORC ble identifisert som et proteinkompleks som • bandt seg til ARS konsensus sekvens. • - ORC består av seks forskjellige proteiner. • ORC er nødvendig for initiering av replikasjon • og er bundet til ARS gjennom hele cellesyklus. • - ORC homologer finnes i alle eukaryoter, til og med i archae
Replication origins in metazoans (somatic cells) • The structure of replication origins in higher eukaryotes is unclear. • Small extrachromosomal DNA sequences replicate poorly, even when carrying >10 kb genomic DNA known to act as origins when in the chromosome. • Replication initiates at specific regions at a characteristic time in S phase. Both place and timing may change with cell type. • Replication forks can potentially initiate at a number of different sites throughout an “initiation zone” that may extend over >10 kb.
The ‘Origin Number’ Paradox E. coli: Genome, 4 Mb = 4 x 106 bp Fork rate approx. 800 bp / sec Replication time approx. 40 minutes = 2,400 secs Amount replicated by 2 forks in 40 mins = 2 x 2400 x 800 = 3,840,000 bp (~4 Mb) Eukaryotes Genome 20 Mb (yeast) up to 6,000 Mb (human) Fork rate 10 bp / sec (frog) - 50 bp / sec (mammal) Amount replicated by 2 forks in 8 hr (human cells) = 2 x 50 x 28,800 = 2,880,000 (~ 3 Mb, a 2,000-fold deficit) 46 chromosomes (human cells) - with one origin per chromosome, at least 92 replication forks gives approx. 140 Mb replicated in 8 hours (still a 40-fold deficit)
The solution: - eukaryotes replicate their chromosomes from multiple replication origins Electron micrograph showing an approx. 300 kb stretch of replicating chromosomal DNA from the yeast S. cerevisiae. Replication forks are indicated by an arrow. (Petes, Newlon, Byers, & Fangman 1974; Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol. 38:9-16 ).

Typical somatic cell template DNA early-firing origins late-firing origins duplicated DNA Organization of replication during S phase
Early Drosophila embryo near-synchronous initiation The global pattern of origin usage can also change: eg early embryonic versus somatic cells: Drosophila somatic cell(transcriptionally active) S phase = 10 hours (600 mins); mean origin spacing = >40kb Early Drosophila embryo(transcriptionally quiescent) S phase = 3.4 mins; mean origin spacing = 7.9kb
What determines origin usage? The Jesuit principle: ”Many are called – few are chosen”
stalled fork replication completed by other fork of pair double stall: no way of replicating intervening DNA Why so many origins? To allow sections of the genome to replicate faster? To allow different sections of the genome to replicate at different times? To prevent problems if origins do not initiate with 100% probability? Excess origins are used to lower the probability of a lethal ‘double stall’?
Facts I • Rate of progression of replication forks is fairly constant for a given organism • Forks generally stop only when they encounter an oppositely moving fork • Chromosome replication is regulated mainly through control of the initiation of new replication forks For example:- -by regulating the number and spacing of origins that fire eg. during development -by regulating the time during S phase at which different origins are activated
Facts II • In somatic mammalian cells, most inter-origin distances (replicon sizes) are between 30 - 300 kb (ie would take 5 - 50 min to replicate completely). • Some adjacent origins (“origin clusters”, typically 2 - 5 origins) initiate synchronously • Different origins / origin clusters initiate at different times during S phase Typical mammalian cell replicates 6,000 Mb in 8 hr = 6 x 109 ÷ 28,800 bp/sec ie. ~200,000 bp/sec For fork rate of 50 bp / sec = 200,000 ÷ 50 ~ 4,000 forks active at any given time in S phase
Restoration of chromatin after replication The principle chromatin assembly reactions during DNA replication. Reaction (a): parental nucleosomes are partially disrupted during DNA replication and the histones are directly transferred to the replicated DNA, reassembling into nucleosomes. Reaction (b): the assembly of new nucleosomes from newly synthesized and soluble histones is mediated by a chromatin assembly factor
Initiering av DNA replikasjon Regulering av DNA replikasjon
Initiation of SV40 replication SV40 T antigen binds and distorts the viral origin. RP-A (‘replication protein A’) binds to the single-stranded DNA. DNA polymerase a -primase puts down an RNA primer and extends it with DNA. RF-C displaces pol a-primase and loads PCNA to establish the leading strand.
