A hybrid bacterial replication origin.
We constructed a hybrid replication origin that consists of the main part of oriC from Escherichia coli, the DnaA box region and the AT-rich region from Bacillus subtilis oriC. The AT-rich region could be unwound by E. coli DnaA protein, and the DnaB helicase was loaded into the single-stranded bubble. The results show that species specificity, i.e. which DnaA protein can do the unwinding, resi...
متن کاملDnaA and ORC: more than DNA replication initiators.
Mutations in DNA replication initiator genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes lead to a pleiotropic array of phenotypes, including defects in chromosome segregation, cytokinesis, cell cycle regulation and gene expression. For years, it was not clear whether these diverse effects were indirect consequences of perturbed DNA replication, or whether they indicated that DNA replication initiator p...
متن کاملH3K4me3 demethylation by the histone demethylase KDM5C/JARID1C promotes DNA replication origin firing
DNA replication is a tightly regulated process that initiates from multiple replication origins and leads to the faithful transmission of the genetic material. For proper DNA replication, the chromatin surrounding origins needs to be remodeled. However, remarkably little is known on which epigenetic changes are required to allow the firing of replication origins. Here, we show that the histone ...
متن کاملCiz1 promotes mammalian DNA replication.
Using a cell-free system that reconstitutes initiation of mammalian DNA replication, we identified a cyclin A-responsive protein, p21(Cip1)-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (Ciz1). In cell-free experiments, Ciz1 protein increases the number of nuclei that initiate DNA replication, and in intact cells GFP-tagged Ciz1 stimulates DNA synthesis, in both a wild-type and a p21(Cip1) null background....
متن کاملTwo discriminatory binding sites in the Escherichia coli replication origin are required for DNA strand opening by initiator DnaA-ATP.
Initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes, archea, and eubacteria requires interaction of structurally conserved ATP-binding initiator proteins and origin DNA to mediate assembly of replisomes. However, the specific requirement for ATP in the early steps of initiation remains unclear. This is true even for the well studied Escherichia coli replication origin, oriC, where the ATP form of initi...
