Abstract

The initiation of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the action of a multisubunit complex of six proteins known as the origin recognition complex (ORC). The identification of higher eukaryotic homologs of several ORC components suggests a universal role for this complex in DNA replication. We now demonstrate that the expression of one of these homologs is regulated by cell proliferation. Expression of the human Orc1 gene (HsOrc1) is low in quiescent cells, and it is then dramatically induced upon stimulation of cell growth. In contrast, expression of the HsOrc2 gene does not appear to be similarly regulated. We have isolated the promoter that regulates HsOrc1 transcription, and we show that the promoter confers cell growth-dependent expression. We also demonstrate that the cell growth control is largely the consequence of E2F-dependent negative transcription control in quiescent cells. Activation of HsOrc1 transcription following growth stimulation requires G1 cyclin-dependent kinase activity, and forced E2F1 expression can bypass this requirement. These results thus provide a direct link between the initiation of DNA replication and the cell growth regulatory pathway involving G1 cyclin-dependent kinases, the...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
