Structural diversity and dynamics of genomic replication origins in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
DNA replication origins (ORI) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe colocalize with adenine and thymine (A+T)-rich regions, and earlier analyses have established a size from 0.5 to over 3 kb for a DNA fragment to drive replication in plasmid assays. We have asked what are the requirements for ORI function in the chromosomal context. By designing artificial ORIs, we have found that A+T-rich fragments as ...
متن کاملPhysical mapping of origins of replication in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
We isolated four fragments from the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome that mediate autonomous replication. A two-dimensional gel analysis revealed that in each case initiation could be mapped to within the S. pombe sequences. In three of the fragments, initiation could be mapped to one discrete location. In the fourth fragment, subcloning and two-dimensional gel analysis suggested that two discr...
متن کاملOrganization of DNA replication origins in the fission yeast genome.
Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates at multiple points along the chromosomes known as replication origins (ORIs). We have developed a strategy to identify ORIs directly from replication intermediates in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Mapping of a selection of the novel ORIs onto the genome reveals their preferential localization at intergenic regions upstream from genes. These re...
متن کاملGenomic specification and epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic DNA replication origins.
Identification of DNA replication origins (ORIs) at a genome-wide level in eukaryotes has proved to be difficult due to the high degree of degeneracy of their sequences. Recent structural and functional approaches, however, have circumvented this limitation and have provided reliable predictions of their genomic distribution in the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, ...
متن کاملA diffusion model for the coordination of DNA replication in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
The locations of proteins and epigenetic marks on the chromosomal DNA sequence are believed to demarcate the eukaryotic genome into distinct structural and functional domains that contribute to gene regulation and genome organization. However, how these proteins and epigenetic marks are organized in three dimensions remains unknown. Recent advances in proximity-ligation methodologies and high r...
