High-Resolution Profiling of Drosophila Replication Start Sites Reveals a DNA Shape and Chromatin Signature of Metazoan Origins

Abstract: Summary At every cell cycle, faithful inheritance of metazoan genomes requires the concerted activation of thousands of DNA replication origins. However, the genetic and chromatin features defining metazoan replication start sites remain largely unknown. Here, we delineate the origin repertoire of the Drosophila genome at high resolution. We address the role of origin-proximal G-quadruplexes and suggest that they transiently stall replication forks in vivo. We dissect the chromatin configuration of replication… Show more

“…Next, we focused on the models learnt on TF binding profiles and sought to identify the chromatin features that contribute the most to model predictions by estimating feature stability coefficients using bootstrap-lasso (Comoglio and Paro 2014;Comoglio et al 2015). Intuitively, the more a feature is necessary for accurate predictions, the higher its stability value.…”

“…Interestingly, G-quadruplexes are extensively found near transcriptional start sites (TSS). Such DNA secondary structures at TSS may affect DNA topology, creating a dynamic equilibrium between duplex DNA and secondary conformation, in order to not only regulate transcription [182,183], but also control replication initiation [184,185,186]. Further studies are necessary to understand the mechanisms by which G-quadruplex DNA regulates multiple cellular processes.…”

“…RT changes during differentiation occur across half of the genome and analysis of multiple cell types allowed the identification of distinct types of domains: constitutive early replicating domains (CE), constitutive late replicating domains (CE) and developmentally regulated domains (Figure 4A). A surprise from these studies is that genome-wide correlations of chromatin properties to RT are driven by the constitutive half of the genome, including transcriptional activity (Rivera-Mulia et al, 2015), ORC binding sites (Lubelsky et al, 2014), origin efficiency (Besnard et al, 2012; Comoglio et al, 2015), gene density and GC content (Hiratani et al, 2010; Rivera-Mulia et al, 2015), DHSs (Pope et al, 2014), MNase sensitivity (Takebayashi et al, 2012) and Rif1 (Dileep et al, 2015a). By contrast, these same properties do not correlate with RT of developmentally regulated domains (Rivera-Mulia and Gilbert, 2016).…”
