A Link between ORC-Origin Binding Mechanisms and Origin Activation Time Revealed in Budding Yeast
Eukaryotic DNA replication origins are selected in G1-phase when the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds chromosomal positions and triggers molecular events culminating in the initiation of DNA replication (a.k.a. origin firing) during S-phase. Each chromosome uses multiple origins for its duplication, and each origin fires at a characteristic time during S-phase, creating a cell-type specif...
متن کاملStructural basis of DNA replication origin recognition by an ORC protein.
DNA replication in archaea and in eukaryotes share many similarities. We report the structure of an archaeal origin recognition complex protein, ORC1, bound to an origin recognition box, a DNA sequence that is found in multiple copies at replication origins. DNA binding is mediated principally by a C-terminal winged helix domain that inserts deeply into the major and minor grooves, widening the...
متن کاملOrigin recognition complex binding to a metazoan replication origin
The initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells at the onset of S phase requires the origin recognition complex (ORC) [1]. This six-subunit complex, first isolated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2], is evolutionarily conserved [1]. ORC participates in the formation of the prereplicative complex [3], which is necessary to establish replication competence. The ORC-DNA interaction is well esta...
متن کاملSubsets of human origin recognition complex (ORC) subunits are expressed in non-proliferating cells and associate with non-ORC proteins.
The origin recognition complex (ORC) in yeast is a complex of six tightly associated subunits essential for the initiation of DNA replication. Human ORC subunits are nuclear in proliferating cells and in proliferative tissues like the testis, consistent with a role of human ORC in DNA replication. Orc2, Orc3, and Orc5 also are detected in non-proliferating cells like cardiac myocytes, adrenal c...
متن کاملNucleosomes positioned by ORC facilitate the initiation of DNA replication.
The packaging of eukaryotic DNA into nucleosomes is a critical regulator of nuclear events. To address the interplay between chromatin and replication initiation, we have assessed the determinants and function of the nucleosomal configuration of S. cerevisiae replication origins. Using in vitro and in vivo assays, we demonstrate that the yeast initiator, the origin recognition complex (ORC), is...
